"It's a matter of working and giving the maximum for the team, with work and attitude, you win any fans, I'm ready to play here, because it's the opportunity I've really been waiting for, I arrived in Spain very young, I had the chance to play First (with Granada), but I had no continuity, "said Boateng, who has total confidence in himself and is very prepared to contribute his football in a higher category.

"I had colleagues who later played in Second or First and they were not better than me. I think I'm ready. "
