An obviously distraught Boateng confessed that the love that is shown to each other when the players were in the camp, is very different from when the disperse.

According to him, each player goes his own way and not check up on the other like they did in the camp, a habit he said was very wrong.

When we are in camp, we show love to everyone. But, normally when we move from camp, it’s not the same, which is very wrong,” Boateng reportedly said.

He further called on his colleague footballers to constantly check up on each other, stressing that life is short.

Now it is sad that I am saying all this after he is gone. This is bad, I should have checked on him. The other players should have checked on him too, I feel very bad,” Derek Boateng cried.
