RSC Anderlecht midfielder, Majeed Ashimeru despite expressing fury for missing the World Cup, felt very proud to see his closest colleagues Kudus Mohammed and Salis Abdul Samed all making the final list.
The 25 year old prior to the Mundra, was in a good form and playing regularly for the Purple and Whites in the Belgian top-flight.
He earned an invite to the provisional squad but got dropped by then stop-gasp gaffer Otto Addo from the final list to Qatar.
The mercurial middleman said despite feeling bad for being excluded, still stayed somehow satisfied after seeing his friends Kudus and Salis added to the final squad. He told TV3 in an exclusive interview;
"Me seeing Salis, like doing really well at the World Cup makes me feel proud because he is a guy I talk to a lot and walk and Kudus, he is like a little brother, we grew up in the same hood so it made me feel very proud."
Ghana at the World Cup, failed to advance from the group phase, having picked only three points from three games, losing to Portugal and Uruguay but managed a win at least beating South Korea by 3-2.
The duo had a very good tournament and by far were Ghana's top two or three performers at the competition, with Kudus Mohammed scoring two and setting up one for Andre Ayew against Portugal.
Salis Abdul Samed, also had no fears and panics despite that being his first major tourney for Ghana, and gave majestic performances to establish himself as a mainstay in the Black Stars.
The trio from then, have been a regular member in the Black Stars, having received back to back call ups in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
