Following his criticism of the Ghana Black Stars, Kevin Prince Boateng has disclosed the reasons behind his expulsion from the team.
Kevin revealed in his interview on Ferdinand's Vibe with Five podcast that he received a letter from the team's officials in a hotel room informing him of his dismissal.
Kevin said that he was fired from the Black Stars because he had criticised the board and administration for their inadequate organisation and pay scale. He had told the authorities that they were entitled to higher pay.
He explained that he felt the players should be paid more because he knew the team was making a lot of money and that was the reason he was unhappy with the salary.
"I spoke with the president about the payment and organisation, so I criticised them, which led to my expulsion from the National team and Schalke from the same season." "
They kicked me out of the meeting after I criticised them, saying that the country has such a thing because we know how much they make and invest in organisations and give the player what he deserves."
It was 6:00 in the morning, the 2014 World Cup was in Brazil, and they kicked me out after they left the note outside my door.We were going to play Portugal that day," Kevin remarked.
