Harry Kane,the England captain,is now being dragged into something nobody expected before match.
Ghanaian spiritualist Nana Kwaku Bonsam has publicly said he intends to place curse on Kane so that his performance gets affected during game . And yes,this kind of statement obviously created big media noise because football world loves drama like this.
But this is not first time Nana Kwaku Bonsam has made such claim ah . During 2014 World Cup,he had alleged responsibility for Cristiano Ronaldo's knee injury before Portugal's game against Ghana . There was no supporting evidence then also,but still these claims keep getting attention.
At same time,Kane is coming into match in very strong form . He recently scored twice in England's 4-2 triumph over Croatia,and now needs one goal to surpass Gary Lineker as England's all-time World Cup scorer . So pressure is already high without any curse talk .
Few things standing out in this whole story:
- Nana Kwaku Bonsam claims he can influence Harry Kane's performance.
- Kane needs one goal to surpass Gary Lineker as England's all-time World Cup scorer.
- England's preparations are continuing under Thomas Tuchel without getting affected.
And tbh,this is where story becomes funny and serious at same time . On one side,you have England training with discipline under head coach Thomas Tuchel,who is focusing on high standards . On other side,you have this spiritual angle creating headlines before Ghana match.
Players also seem to be keeping focus where it should be . Djed Spence has praised Tuchel's meticulous training approach,and message from team side looks simple: prepare properly,stay focused,ignore outside distraction .
Bonsam's declaration feels like part of bigger story around his career as spiritualist,not just one random comment . His past claims have often been met with skepticism because there is no evidence,but somehow football community still keeps talking about them .
With World Cup knockout stages in sight,England are gearing up for what could be very intense match against Ghana . But now,along with tactics,goals and pressure,there is this odd question hanging around Kane also… what if football becomes sideshow and superstition takes over conversation?
