The last season's top scorer of the Ghana Premier League has expressed disappointment at the technical team of the Black Stars for snubbing him after an explosive outing last term.
Ghanaian striker Abednego Tetteh has announced his decision to temporarily retired from football after not being included in recent call-up of the senior national team of Ghana.
Tetteh, who scored 18 goals in the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season to emerge the top scorer, also hit out the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for not awarding him with the season's best player accolade at last weekend's GFA Awards.
In his interview on Fox FM, Tetteh shared his frustration, saying, “I won the Goal King award, but I am very sad. It is the vision of any footballer to do well and earn praises for his hard work, but in my case, it is not like that.”
He went on to question the criteria for national team selection, stating, “They first called a different striker (Hafiz Wontah of Bechem United), and then for the second time, another player that I scored more goals than is called (Jonathan Sowah). What have I done wrong to the GFA people?”
In light of the ongoing snubs from the national team, Tetteh has made the difficult decision to temporarily quit football, stating, “Right now I am in the house, I am not playing for any club this season. I will not even play football again for now. It is better to stay in the house than doing myself and not be rewarded.”
Tetteh played for King Faisal in the first round of 2022/23 season before crossing carpet to Bibiani Goldstars to register sixteen goals to top up the two he scored at Faisal.
