Chelsea captain not tired of lifting trophies

Basit Mohammed says he will never become tired of lifting trophies because it is an

honour not many ever have the privilege of doing. Having already lifted the league

and President cups, Basit claimed a third trophy within three months just last

Sunday when he led Berekum Chelsea to beat Medeama SC in the final of the Glo G8

tournament, significantly netting the only goal.

Barely a week later, he is in line for another trophy crack come Sunday when his

side battle surprise FA Cup champs FC Nania for the revived Ghana Super Cup. Basit

however remains keen on the trophy at stake on Sundaytoo.

He told ALL SPORTS: “I don’t think I will ever get tired of lifting trophies, I

don’t think so. It’s our profession and you have to be happy and thank God when you

do because it’s not easy to lift a trophy. Even if it’s ten thousand trophies, I

will not get tired. I want more trophies.”

The only title to elude Chelsea in recent times was the MTN FA Cup, Nania of course

killing such dreams via a penalty shoot-out victory in the semi final. Sunday

therefore presents the Ghana champions with the perfect opportunity for revenge, but

the Chelsea captain plays down such talk.

“I will not call it revenge. This time it’s a different thing altogether and we also

have a different team which we are building for the league and Africa. We are

playing all out not going for revenge, we just want to win.

"We thank our fans for their prayers and we hope to see them in their numbers on

Sunday and God willing we shall make them smile again,” Basit told us yesterday.
