Jerome Boateng touched by Ghanaian hospitality

The Bayern Munich defender was born to a Ghanaian father and a German mother, but he has spent all his years in the European powerhouse.

 Jerome Boateng visited Ghana for the first time this Christmas.

And like what many others, say Jerome Boateng has expressed his delight at the hospitality showed him by Ghanaians during the holidays

"It touched me a lot to experience the warmth and hospitality of the people in Ghana and to get to know our roots better together with my family.

"But winning titles has never been so easy, so let’s go ahead. My personal financial statements were very emotional and educational with my trip to Ghana.

Boateng has indicated that he poised for action for the second half of the season, as he aims at regaining his old form.

"Privately, I had to struggle with some things and as much as one tries to separate private from the profession, it does not always work out as you imagine. I wish it would have been better sometimes," he continued.

"I’ve learned a lot, I’m feeling physically better in the last few weeks and I’m on my way back to the old top form
