Kevin Prince Boateng has said he does not regret choosing to play for Ghana over Germany.
Boateng played for Germany at youth level but he switched his nationality to play for the Black Stars of Ghana at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and scored one goal which was against the United States of America at the round of 16 stage.
“I did some things when I was young, of course, I’m not very proud of today. Although they are part of me, they were not very positive.
In Germany, there are many straight, very correct, and they did not much like my behaviour. So I saw the really long way to get into Löw’s plans, so I said to myself,” the Barcelona forward told Skysports Italia’s The Lord of Football show.
“They want me in Ghana and I want to play for the National team. I had never felt like Ghana before, and I thought that was a good possibility, both personally and mentally. To choose, I relied a lot on myself, on my feelings, because for my heart it was a choice that could be very right. And in the end, I made a very right choice “.
In 2014, Boateng was sent home a day before Ghana’s match against Portugal. He is said to have verbally assaulted the coach, Kwesi Appiah and has since been suspended from playing for the national team.
