The player who just joined Saudi giants Al Ittihad, has a reputation as one of the most aggressive players in modern day football, with a career littered with several unsavory incidents both on and off the pitch.
Muntari is currently serving a suspension from the national team after he was sent home from the World Cup after an altercation with a management member of the national team ,Moses Parker.
Speaking to Fiifi Banson, Muntari revealed the secrets to his dark moments.
"I get emotional when people upset me and it affects me because I do not know how to pretend,its either me or not . If i get angry before a game,i do stuff that are not cool.
Because of this at home before games I do not pick calls because a call could change my mood and i do not like that. Before games I call my mom and dad and then my wife.
"They are the only people I speak with. Anybody else i will not bother to answer. Those three know me best. My father and mother know me best so they pray for me when we speak before games.
"My wife tells me she loves me and to go in and relax and enjoy myself."
Muntari signed a two year deal with Al Ittihad reported to be worth 14 million euros over two years.
