    I saw Abedi playing almost every position except goal keeping when he was in Black Stars. I remember in Senegal 92 when Armah got red card in Ghana Egypt match, Abedi played as a defender. He was always a back up force for we ...

    Coach Otto Addo has no balls to make any significant changes in the current Black Stars team. Ghana is still using the mediocre and selfish players who played in 2024 AFCON

    Oh I see, so you're the oine who messed up Abedi Pele. Abedi used to be so good at the number 6 position, better than Messi, and then you converted hom to number 10, and he was still the best 10 in the world, but at number 6 ...

    Edusei is a liar. Abedi started playing the no 10 position in France.

  • Nana 1 month ago

    Masa how old are you? The scent of your mother's milk still in your mouth. Was Abedi Pele playing 6 in 1986? Stupid boy! Abedi was playing 10 in 1986 with RTU. That's what the coach is talking about.

  • Emperor Rasheed 1 month ago

    @Nana.Point of Correction. It is not a matter of age, but doing proper research. Actually Abedi started playing no 10 when he joined Black Stars in 1982 in Libya. You wanna bet?

  • babs: 1 month ago

    Boss,Albert Asase and Kofi Badu were the #6 and #10 at the Libya AFCON 1982.Abedi was on the bench.

  • Emperor Rasheed 1 month ago

    @ Babs. You are right Albert Asaase J was no 6 and he played all the matches. Abedi was on the bench he came in and played no 10, and Kofi Badu was shifted to another position. Abedi played the entire 90 minutes against Alger ...

    @ Nana. You don't know what you ate talking about. PSK kusi was playing number 10.Abedi number 6. Same style as Adolf Armah. I was at the kaladan park when Rtu beat hearts of oak 4 goals to 1

  • Sister Soulja 1 month ago

    They are talking of RTU and you are here rambling about France, Abedi started playing for RTU when he was only 16 years and had no idea he will even be playing in France. Stop exposing your ignorance online.

  • Emperor Rasheed 1 month ago

    @Sister Souja. You know nothing about Abedi. I know very well he played the no 10 position in France, but he started playing 6 at RTU. He first played no 10 with Black Stars in 1982 in Libya. You wanna challenge me?

  • Edusei liar 1 month ago

    P. S . K KUSI was the number 10 for Rtu. Abedi played 6.safo number 8 before Abu came to Rtu. Abu later left for olympics

  • Emperor Rasheed 1 month ago

    How can could Abedi be better than Messi at No 6 when he wasn’t scoring goals. He started scoring goals at No 10.

  • Kwamena 1 month ago

    Liar, even at no. 6, Abedi was scoring goals left and right.

  • Emperor Rasheed 1 month ago

    @ Kwamena. Please let us know the clubs that Abedi played against them, and scored playing no. 6 position.

    You people are all wrong. Abedi Pele was an attacking midfielder during Primary school. He attended a school attached to GIMPA. His uncle was a lecturer there, and my Dad’s close friend. I remember the boys at the neighbori ...

    In Libya 82 Kofi Badu had a shoulder injury and Abedi came in as number 10.Razak ,Shamo Quaye,Joe Amoateng and sometimes Adolf Armah all did that from 6 to 10 nothing new under the sun.

  • Raymond 1 month ago

    You did not change him! The Abedi I know is a very versatile player so can even play No.2 if need be. Stop bragging!

  • Taadii 1 month ago

    @Kyen- kyen , if the coach was Otto Addo or Chris Hougton , Kofi Badu would have played thru the injury 90mins , whilst Abedi would be languishing on the bench..
    Ubiquitous Kofi Badu that was how the press des ribbed him ...
