“My father was responsible for the club’s spiritual work (juju) at that time, and I am sure till now the club still believes in juju.
“All the clubs in Ghana practice juju. Let me be quick to add that even Brazilians and South Americans believe in that.”
Explaining further, he said he has actually witnessed some South American teams chanting incantations before a game.
“I remember I took RTU to Korea in 1986 to play a game against Uruguay and the players spent the whole night praying under candles, reciting incantations and at the end of the game, they won 2-1.
“Maybe it is psychological, but the players believe it works, so that is what it is,” he added.
