Sulley Muntari reveals how poor Ghana players are treated in trending old video (WATCH)

An old video of former Ghana international, Sulley Muntari, explaining how poor Black Stars players are treated at national team camps has resurfaced online.

Muntari was not holding back as he detailed unpleasant experiences in the senior men’s national team camp.

The 2010 Champions League Winner spoke openly about his ordeal and revealed that sometimes players who got injured during their time with the national team are ignored.

“It’s all stupidity. They keep repeating the same thing and we can’t tell them because they are leaders, that is BS. Listen, we got injuries on injuries on injuries. I can show you my hand, you see it is not straight. It is the national team and no one from the leadership cares,” a livid Muntari lamented.

Recounting their experience before a World Cup qualifier at South Africa in 2010, the ex-Inter Milan midfielder explained how himself and former Chelse player, Michael Essien after picking up injuries due to the poor training pitches they were given.

“We went to South Africa for a World qualification against Zambia. They sent us to a pitch where horses graze and we were on that hard surface and that affected my heels. My heels were inflamed, and I could not walk for about six months.

“I also got a knee injury and no one cared. Same as Essien and many players,” he added.
