Mubarak Wakaso has brushed aside comparison with AC Milan
star, Sulley Muntari, insisting that he can even play alongside the rugged
left-sided midfielder.
Wakaso has just begun his international career, but his
domination of games, hard tackles and powerful left-footed shots in the Black
Stars camp all resonate memories of a certain Muntari.
The Espanyol utility player however does not buy into the
idea that he is the perfect replacement for the now obviously aging Sulley Muntari.
“I can’t compare myself to Sulley because he is a senior
player and he has done it all both in Ghana and in Europe. He is a top player
so I feel honoured to be compared to him but it must end there because he is
way above me,” Wakaso answered 90 MINUTES enquiries if he is the ‘New Sulley
Muntari.’
He explained: “I really love him (Sulley) because he is a
great player and I’ve always said good things about him since he came on the
scene.
“It’s true that we have similar style but I don’t think I’m here
(Black Stars) to replace him. No. I think he still has a lot to offer the Black
Stars and I look forward to playing alongside him.”
