    Grasp it sometimes it ake time but don't worry keep on the good work and as you can see your boss has now seen your capabilities. Kudu!

  • OSEI TAWIAH 9 years ago

    God's time is the best, they say. Sometimes a rush to push a superstar like Atsu over the top before his time can send him flying to the bottom. Let God's will or nature as some people may call it, take it's real course. This ...

    And play the 8,11, or 7 and learn how to play these positions well. By watching successful players who have played in these spots in the past. You can go on you tube.

    Your coach can't give you confidence if you aint already got it brother....

  • Assas 9 years ago

    Ooh, I'm happy for you Atsu. You 've shown the world what you can do when given the chance. You were actually great at the Afcon 2015. May God richly bless you in your professional career, and may you continue to help Ghana ...

    If if had to take Atsu's best player performance at AFCON to make Martinez realise his capabilities, then he is not a smart coach at all. I will never understand why he has not been playing Atsu at all. Not a single player in ...

    Better late than never.This racism must stop.

  • The Truth 9 years ago

    It seems you don't understand soccer.Atsu will still warm the bench.Tournament is different from playing league matches.African soccer is also different .Young man.I will get back to you after one or two matches.

  • SANTACLAUSIAN, Croydon 9 years ago

    So you understand soccer more than anyone right? So a very bad player becomes the best player in a major tournament by luck right? You can only play well in a major tournament when you have what it takes to do so. Are you tel ...

    Don't mind me.because I was a bit drunk when I wrote my comments.Forgive me.

  • SANTACLAUSIAN, Croydon 9 years ago

    No hard feelings mate. Anytime

  • MARCUS AMPADU 9 years ago

    I suggest Atsu should go to Arsenal, his style of play fits that of Arsenal, besides he will form a terrific combo with Welbeck.

  • OBIDEEABA, BELGIUM 9 years ago

    Bors with the fear of the Lord and hard training you can go far. Please don't let any one bring you down because of you skin color. God be with you. When the going get hard please remember God has the final say.

  • faith 9 years ago

    seriously, coaches like Martinez are career destroyers who are not fit in their positions to handle pure talents such as Atsu.

  • OSEI TAWIAH 9 years ago

    Let's face it, Atsu has only revealed his hidden talent at this AFCON. Everyone including myself knew the talent was there but he was hiding it. There had been a lot of criticism both home and abroad about how he was hiding h ...

    It takes a very bad coach like Martinez to ignore a talented, hardworking and humble player like Atsu.

  • K Philly 9 years ago

    It took coach Grant a few practice sessions to uncover the true gem in Atsu.He should be competing for Chelsea's first team. He's playing fantastic soccer right now; he could be one of the bests.

  • Stoway 9 years ago

    Gone are the days when players come down to play for black stars and get completely deflated and confused when they go back to their teams. Under Appiah that was many teams concern. Just think about what Atsu's coach is shame ...

    This Spanish coahes hate African Players prograss. He knew the boy was good from day one but refused to use him stupid idiot

  • Kojo Agatebe, Oregon 9 years ago

    Folks, do you recall a while back when Jose Mourinho was so mad at Everton for not fielding Atsu that he threatened to canceled the loan deal? I think Roberto Martinez is not a good coach.

  • Lucky 9 years ago

    English people are like that they under estimate our level of play.Atsu is good player and have bright future if it was Italy he should've gone far.Hoping Uncle Sam people will know his potential in football.

  • Ali, Toronto 9 years ago

    This is the reward they get from playing for the Stars, not the $100,000s they hold Ghana to ransom for. This is how playing for the country enhances their professional careers -- then the moment they turn around and say 'I A ...

    May God continue to bless you my dear. You are confident enough to play that well, but pray for more confidence....it adds to the package.
