Augustine Okrah's delight at Kevin Prince-Boateng ''how are you gesture''

Merreikh playmaker Augustine Okrah has revealed that Kevin Prince-Boateng spoke Twi to him before kickoff of the Schalke-Merreikh friendly in Doha on Thursday.

Okrah said he 'felt so good and privileged' when Boateng walked up to him to ask him, 'Menua Eti Sen', an Akan phrase which translate to 'my brother, how are you?'

He revealed: ''To be honest I was shocked when he spoke Twi to me because I never taught he could speak. I felt so good with his attention and privileged because he is a top player and a Ghana superstar player.''

Both Ghanaians lasted the first half of the friendly which ended 2-2.

Boateng pulled out with an injury but Okrah lasted the whole of the first half on the return from his five-month injury lay-off.

    Inferiority complex at its best! With this mentality, u can go far! Great players don't care or mind who they are on the field with or the attention they get from them but rather try to be them!

    Easy bro. Lol. I'm sure it is not a case of inferiority but of companionship and bonding. Remember Okrah is still raw as a professional in a strange country. He is bound to feel lonely and will appreciate any hint of brotherhood in his sojourn abroad. Early days yet since he has more time to become arrogant

    Selffmade,very poor conclusion.Try again later. Godfred Donsah says he wants to be like Essien,what's wrong if Okra admires Kevin which even wasn't the case. You would have appreciated Okra's reaction if u had travelled beyond Africa before.
