Nana Samuel Actor Yaw Dabo from Ghana has expressed his delight at seeing his player, Afriyie Barnieh, participate in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Afriyie Barnieh received his football instruction at Yaw Dabo’s Dabo Soccer Academy before joining Accra Hearts of Oak and later the Black Stars.

One may recall Daniel Afriyie Barnieh’s strong performance for Ghana in their 2-0 victory over Switzerland on November 17, 2022, in their final pre-World Cup friendly.

Many Ghanaian supporters, who believe Afriyie Barnieh will be among the top players at the World Cup, have since fallen in love with him.

Former manager, Yaw Dabo made a comment about this success iterating:

“Yes, yes, I am impressed. Because when I look at where he came from, his background, and all that he has been through, I am so happy for him. You see, in this world, not all glitters are gold. It can be that through the help I have offered him, I will also land a great opportunity somewhere that will also help the academy. It’s a good thing. I am very happy and proud,”

When asked if he (Yaw Dabo) had great expectations for getting financial support from the player, he said;

“I talk to him. We communicate. As for blacks, we might have the perception that he is supposed to be supporting me at least every month but I don’t see it like that. I don’t disturb him with money issues because I think he is yet to achieve more than he has. I want him to focus.

There are times he even calls me for money because he still sees me as his boss. He doesn’t even make enough money from Hearts of Oak. He is now building his foundation and I don’t want to give him under pressure. You’ll be surprised to know that maybe his pay at Hearts of Oak isn’t even up to 2,000.”
