Sports journalist Saddick Adams has revealed a surprising reason why former Ghana goalkeeper Richard Kingson picked Richard Ofori as the national team’s first-choice goalie.
In a recent interview, Adams stated that Kingson, also known as Olele, chose Ofori over other goalkeepers due to his exceptional work ethic and determination to succeed.
Adams explained, “Kingson was impressed by Ofori’s commitment to improvement. He noticed that Ofori was constantly working to enhance his skills and never wavered in his dedication to the sport.”
The journalist further added that Kingson saw potential in Ofori and believed that he would be the best fit to defend the national team’s goalpost in various tournaments.
Adams’ revelation sheds light on the meticulous process involved in selecting players for the national team and the importance of hard work and dedication in achieving success in sports.
Richard Ofori, who currently plays for Orlando Pirates in South Africa, has since become a key player for the Ghanaian national team and has earned praise for his outstanding performances in goal.
Kingson’s decision to choose Ofori as the first-choice goalie was based on more than just skill and ability, but also on the player’s attitude and determination to excel.
