Boateng believes things could’ve been better with the Black Stars and says feels sorry about how the journey ended.
“There were some reasons that didn’t work out how we wanted,” he told Oma Sports TV, as quoted by Ghanaweb.
“There were some misunderstandings, I feel sorry it ended like this because after 2010 we could have built something very good because we had a great team. I wish the Black Stars nothing but the best and I will always be a fan.”
