Africa’s top goal scorer at the FIFA World Cup, Asamoah Gyan has said that he and his colleagues used to involve supernatural powers (Juju) in their line of work.
In an interview with Dan Kwaku Yeboah TV on YouTube, their juvenile club, Cedar FC, involved them in bathing a concoction just to win in a colts league match.
He also said most of his colleagues engaged in it and there were times they had to go places to enable them win their games.
“Yes it is there, anything that has a name it exists. We all, like in colts, we all go together and they tell us ‘get this and bath with it, do this and that. And if you don’t do it and the team loses, you caused the defeat. With Cedar, we went once or twice. We played Liberty we were beaten four,” he revealed.
“I remember another colts game, a man told us to do something for two goals. Sometimes with a padlock, they will tell you if you score one that is it.
“You can get an empty net and shoot wide when the one goal enters that is it so it (juju) is there. When someone scores a goal people usually say this is a mallam goal, they know it (juju) is there,” he added.
Accordingto Asamoah Gyan, most footballers visit the Mallam after church.
“We all have what we believe. Someone will close from church and pass by a mallam. There are a lot of players if they will tell the truth they do those things.
“Someone will not tell you their secret but if you are very observant you will see that something is going on. That person will not tell you there is something going on but if you are observant there are certain things you will see,” he said.
According to Daily Mail Gh, Asamoah Gyan added that most people pretend to be holy but visits the ‘juju’ a lot.
“You can’t mention names, someone’s secret, nothing goes on in the dressing room but if the person is going to sleep do you know what they do?
“If a pastor stands behind the pulpit you don’t know what he has done before coming so your secret is your power. There are those who are very deep into juju but will come and behave like they are holy.”
