Kevin-Prince Boateng: I Was An Idiot, I Bought 3 Cars In A Day by WriterNig: 4:12pm On Sep 11, 2019 |
Kevin-Prince Boateng has sensationally revealed he once purchased three cars in one day while at Tottenham. The 32-year-old has regularly struggled to settle at a team and is now at the 11th club of his career having joined Fiorentina from Sassuolo this summer. But now one of the older players in the dressing room, Boateng has regrets from his younger days and feels he 'didn't treat football as a job' when he was spending his money in England. I'll go back and say: I didn't treat football as a job,' he told La Repubblica. 'I was an idiot. I had talent, but I trained the bare minimum, an hour on the field. I was the last to arrive and the first to leave. I'd be out with friends. I had money, I lived like a king. I'd never been to the gym. That changes your later career. 'I bought three cars in one day when I was at Tottenham: a Lamborghini, a Hummer and a Cadillac. To the youngsters, I tell them: "You cannot buy happiness". 'I didn't play, I had family problems, I was out of the squad. I was looking for happiness in material things: a car makes you happy for a week. I bought three to be happy for three weeks.' Boateng's journey hasn't been the most straightforward, moving from club to club during a 15-year career to date and when at AC Milan, it took a very sour turn. He was racially abused during a Milan friendly in 2013 against Pro Patria and he reacted by kicking the ball into the stands before walking off the pitch as his team-mates followed. He added: 'I also think of the three-year-old boy kicked in Cosenza for the colour of his skin. That was the incident that hurt me the most. 'The chants at the stadium want to remind us when our grandparents were slaves. But those who make those chants, before being racist, are ignorant. 'Ignorance must be abolished. At school, we must introduce an hour of integration: we must tell our children that we're all the same. They're our future.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7451941/Kevin-Prince-Boateng-admits-buying-THREE-cars-one-day-Tottenham-spell.html 29 Likes 3 Shares

'I bought three cars in one day when I was at Tottenham: a Lamborghini, a Hummer and a Cadillac. To the youngsters, I tell them: "You cannot buy happiness". Local man cannot agree less, most people always want to use material things to get happiness. 35 Likes 3 Shares |
