Former Accra Hearts Goalkeepers trainer, Abukari Damba has offered free advice to exciting young midfielder, Samudeen Ibrahim, following his high-flying start to life as a premier league footballer.
The former Kings Solomon FC player has embraced life easily into the top-flight of the Ghanaian game to the astonishment of many that did believed his talent but did not see the bright side of things to happen so immediately.
Ibrahim, put in a man-of-the-match performance on his debut for the Phobians against New Edubiase United at the Accra Sports Stadium and the cheers from the Hearts of Oak faithfuls to every touch he made suggested the young lad had indeed arrived.
But the former Ghana international, (Damba), has cautioned him to keep his wings down whilst he enjoys the impressive start he has made to his Premier League career.
Speaking in an interview with sportscrusader.com during the Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG) visit to the Ashaiman cluster of schools, Damba had a word of caution for Samudeen saying, “He is a very interesting player and within the Hearts of Oak set-up.
“Hearts of Oak boast of some very good players in the squad. The cheer and support for Samudeen is a confidence booster and that is exactly what a player needs, but he has got to understand what the fans say is not relevant but rather his performance on the field of play.” Damba said.
“Undoubtedly Samudeen is a fantastic and technically gifted player on the ball, but he should not get carried away, he must realise that these are early days yet and that he has work harder or else the same fans who hail him today will criticise him when he dips in form.” He added.
Ibrahim has returned from the injury that has kept him out of Hearts’ last two GPL games and his return has been received as a major boost in camp after their goalless draw game with Ebusua Dwarfs in their last game last Sunday.
