Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has retired but International duties
Former Ghana international Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has disclosed why he decided to take the last penalty kick that won Ghana its first U-20 World Cup in 2009.
Taking the last kick in a penalty shootout is a daunting task for many players, but not the case for Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu.
According to Agyemang-Badu, his mother had a revelation in a dream that he would become famous for a goal he would score at the tournament.
“My mum said I had scored a goal and my name was everywhere and so our game against Uzbekistan, I hit a ball from the center and it hit the crossbar, so after the game, I phoned my mother and informed her that Osofo Maame it [the goal] didn’t happen,” Agyemang-Badu said on the Nabil Show.
