“It’s always been a dream to play for my national team and I would be delighted if the opportunity is given me,” Ati-Zigi told Accra based Citi FM
“Most people talk about age but once I get the opportunity you will see what I am made of.
Quizzed on if thrown into the team would he be able to stand the heat Zigi replied by saying.
“I am ready for the national team.”
