In an exclusive interview from his French base, the petit forward whose powerful bullet handed the Satellite a ticket to the final of the World Youth Championship after recording a 3-2 victory over Korea, expressed his happiness for the his colleagues claiming the Serbia trainer, his technical team and the Stars management needs to be commended for the decision to include the six players into the Stars list immediately after ruling the World at the Youth level as he claimed that will go a long to boost the players morale and that of his other colleagues.

“This shows clearly that all of us (Black Satellite players) have great chances of earning call-ups into the national team as to when officials finds it appropriate” he said.

However, Quansah has challenged his colleagues especially those joining the team for the first time, goalkeeper, Daniel Agyei, A.C Milan’ ‘new boy’ Dominic Adiyiah and defender Daniel Addo to prove their worth should they the opportunity to feature in either of the games.

“ I remember goalkeeper Richard Kingson calling to talk to most of the players especially goalkeeper Daniel Agyei before our final game against Brazil in Egypt and urging us to go all out in the Brazil game and that our performance has really marveled him (Kingson) and has shown clearly that the Black Stars team has bright future. That alone made me feel am a material for the Stars in the near future” he added.
