I Warned Sulley Before World Cup Started, Says Muntari’s Father by pontirock(m): 8:54pm On Jul 02, 2014 |
Ghanaian football Super Star Sulley Muntari’s father, Alhaji Muniru Sulley, has opened up on the recent scandal involving his son at the Black Stars World Cup Camp in Brazil. Muntari is reported to have slapped Black Stars Management Committee member, Moses Armah Parker, after an argument at the team’s base. In a telephone chat, Muntari’s father, who doubles as the leader of the Hausa community in Dofa, says “it’s a shame the incident occurred at all,” and it shouldn’t have assuming Sulley listened to his warnings before leaving for the team left for U.S.A for their pre World Cup schedules. “He has called me to apologize for his actions, and the first thing I told him was, ‘remember what I told you before you left for camp? As a former coach I know how heated the environment could be, but yet, he went on to do what he did, that’s children for you,” said Muntari’s father in the telephone call. The incident saw many Ghanaians calling for the Milan midfielder to be permanently banned from the National team, to serve as ‘a deterrent’ to the other players. The Ghanaian FA had issued a short statement on the issue. It reads: ‘The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has suspended Sulley Ali Muntari indefinitely from the Black Stars, with immediate effect.’ ‘The decision was taken in the wake of his unprovoked physical attack on an Executive Committee member of the GFA, and a management member of the Black Star.’ The statement read. Earlier, the Ghanaian team were involved in another controversy when the players boycotted training, and threatened not to board the flight to Brasilia to honor the final group G match with Portugal, because they had not received their appearance fees and bonuses, before the government sent a plane with $3.8 million to settle the issue. |
