He said he had to put in a great deal of effort to bring Berekum Chelsea back into the game when they were two goals down. “I know their defenders are good. I knew their target was on me, but I managed to make the fans and and Ghana proud,” he said.

“I thank my fans and God. I want to assure them Chelsea is going far and I’m going to take the goal king
award,” Clottey stressed.

He expressed gratitude to his team-mates for their hard work throughout the game and assured that such fighting spirit will result in the ultimate for the Blues.

Clottey added: “I can’t take the glory alone. My colleagues were wonderful on the pitch and we were all determined for a win and our effort paid off. The coach was fantastic as well and we must all praise each other.”
