"His performance should not astonish anyone because they have been equipped with excellent infrastructure from the outset," Tagoe told Angel TV, as quoted by Ghana Soccernet.
"Such emerging talents are a product of a strong foundational system."

According to Tagoe, Ghana could produce many of his kind if the people in charge of the game invest in infrastructure for the upcoming players.
"I would not be surprised if we had similar initiatives; we would certainly have players of his quality. Plans for constructing sports infrastructure are often made, yet they barely materialize. They benefit from quality training, and their system is functioning effectively," he added.
Tagoe retired from football in 2019, making 35 appearances and scoring seven goals for Ghana, per Transfermarkt.
