Razak Majeed is an exciting Defensive Midfielder who plies his trade with Kanyiti FC, a Sawla based Second Division side. The 2022/2023 season has been his best yet. He’s helped KFC qualify to the Sub-Middle League.

The 6.2 ft. tall hard-tackling midfielder has played every single minute of the 12 games Kanyiti FC has played so far this season.

Majeed controls the flow of KFC’s game by connecting the defense and attack very well. His game reading and anticipation is one that has everyone admiring the tall midfielder.

Majeed’s strongest weapon is his aggressiveness, endurance, stamina and ball winning spirit. These help him intercept balls and win tackles on a regular basis, taking a lot of work off the shoulders of the defense.

Majeed combines technique and strength so well, and that has given him the balance a very good midfielder needs to be able to control the tempo of a game.

Majeed is definitely one for the future.

Erling Haaland has been on fire throughout this season. Here are a few of the praises the Manchester City star has received from some of the games’ greatest💪🏾

“He combines a great athletic capacity with raw power – an unusual combination.

“And he never loses sight of the goalposts – some games, he barely gets the ball, but the few times he does, he scores.
“Look at the stats right now – he’s scored 18 Premier League goals in the first stage of the League so far, and the highest in a single season is 34. If he keeps at it, he’ll surely be able to clear this mark.”

“I think Haaland is maintaining form with his performance in other clubs – and that form is all about scoring.

“His stats are really remarkable. He’s kept his stride for City and there’s an additional merit to being able to do it in the Premier League, which is a whole different type of game. And on his first season as well!”

Kun Aguero on Haaland

“I like him a lot, he is a very intelligent player, he doesn’t do things that are not within his reach. He does not go down to play the ball, he waits in front of the goal and scores.

“He reminds me of former players like (Filippo) Inzaghi, (David) Trezeguet and (Christian) Vieri. In fact, it’s a new version of all three.”

Zlatan on Haaland

What Haaland is doing in football right now is astonishing,’

‘When he’s playing like this in the team, they are absolutely dominant. He gives the feeling as long as everyone else is a 7/10 and he’s here “we win”.

‘He brings a superpower to the team and this is already a supercharged team with exceptional talent, and there’s a hunger and desire in his play above everything else.

‘Scandalously I’ve heard people say he (negatively) impacts the way this team plays. 39 goals in the season… he only makes this team better.’

This isn’t a coincidence he’s scored so many goals at the age of 22 – he’s just in the right areas again and again. There’s no coach, even Pep, one of the best if not the best in the world that can teach that.’

Ferdinand on Haaland

“Two tremendous players, for now and the future. That’s it. I’m not going to say who I prefer over the other. Everyone has their opinion.”

Zidane on Haaland and Mbappe

“When (Haaland) was very young, you could see the potential, it was insane,” he said.
“Physically he sets new standards, the combination of being really physical and technical and sensational awareness, his orientation on the pitch is exceptional, he knows always where the decisive gaps are, barely offside.

Klopp on Haaland

“He’s a great player”

Ancelotti on Haaland

He reminds me so much of Ruud van Nistelrooy, such a ruthless finisher.”

“When he gets through, you feel he’s going to score and you feel he’s not going to give the goalkeeper a chance”Scholes on Haaland

He could be the greatest ever in the Premier League, couldn’t he? You’re trying to compare him with somebody, I’ve never seen a player so young have that desire to score the goals he’s scored. He is just relentless.”

Terry on Haaland

“Congratulations to him because he is ready to play at the highest level. It’s incredible what he is doing in the Premier League, I think he will break all the records and will be one of the best in the world”.

Kaka on Haaland

One word for Haaland? AMAZING💪🏾💯🔥

The “biggest” capacity building to ever happen in football in the Northern Region was organised by the Northern Regional Football Association (NRFA) at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium in Tamale. The event that took place on Tuesday, January 26th, 2021, was put together to equip the executives of the various District Football Associations (DFA), with the necessary skills to run their associations.

The NRFA chairman, Alhaji Abu Hassan Rhyzo, was the chairman of the event. Some of the speakers were, Prosper Harrison, General Secretary, Ghana Football Association (GFA), Neil Amstrong, owner of Krypton Global and former National Chapters Committee (NCC) chairman of Accra Hearts of Oak, and Micheal Oti Adjei of TV3.

Mr. Rhyzo gave his opening remarks and spoke on how he intends to build the region’s fooball through various capacity building events. He then said, “over the last ten years, this is the biggest event in terms of capacity building”.

He concluded his introductory remarks by saying “social media marketing is very important”, and urged the various executives to take advantage of it.

The General Secretary of the GFA, Prosper Harrison, took his turn and said, “it is the desire of the GFA to bring such events to our base”. Mr. Afriyie went ahead and stressed on the fact that a strong base makes things easier.

He also made known the fact that the days of Peter Amewu, the late, which use to be paper work alone has now quickly changed to IT.

Neil Amstrong Mortagbe, gave a lecture on how to manage the ‘little’ resources we have. He said, “everytime we are asked why we are struggling, we blame the FA, but a lot of the time it is us. We think too much about what we don’t have, rather than what we have”.

“You cannot fight nature, so package nature in a way you can enjoy it”.

Neil went ahead and gave a funny example about how he turned what was supposed to be bad to good. He said when he was teased about his bald head, he took it in good faith and turned it around. People no longer saw Neil the “bald boy”, but Neil the intelligent man. He then said we shouldn’t make noise about what we don’t have, rather we should make the most out of what we have.

Neil continued by saying, “your customers are your prospective donors and sponsors”. “What do I have?, is the first thing you must answer in markerting.”. “Treat your footballers like customers”. “Honouring” what we have is the way to go. Neil stressed on the fact that football was created as a vehicle for development.

He spoke about repecting structures and solving issues internally. “Together we can get football to be a profitable sport for all.”

How to know what you have is by thinking deep and asking yourself hard questions. The things you are not supposed to say in normal life, don’t say them on social media. The same liabilities are carried around both. Neil concluded.

Michael Oti Agjei of TV3 spoke on, “SOCIAL MEDIA, A MUST FOR FOOTBALL CLUBS”. He said you need to know that social media is the place you get a significant number of your fans. “This is a place where the biggest conversation in the world is happening at the moment”. There are about 40 million phones in Ghana and 6 million of those phones are “hooked onto the internet”.

Every major company in Ghana is diverting it’s attention to social media. Facebook has 5 million Ghanaians hooked on. With all these numbers, it means you have all your fans sitting there and ready to engage. Oti said, “Your market is sitting there already, so it’s up to you to design your message”.

In these spaces there are big spenders. Social media gives you the power to determine what people say about you. You can set agenda’s on social media. As a club you should be talking to your fanbase almost always. Create the presence, no matter how “small you are.”

Michael went ahead and said, “Twitter is where I basically call a football paradise. As a club, you must have a Twitter account.” Social media can make you a bigger club. You must plan and prepare for everything depending on your capacity. The posts that get the most likes are the ones with pics. You have to strive to understand how each media (Facebook, Twitter, Intagram…) works.

It’s easy to identify your top fans through likes and comments. “Amplify your posts by contacting people with more following to help share or pay to get it sent across”. “Follow the lead of some of the big clubs in the world and see how they use their social media”.

He stressed on using “emocations”, saying it helps “spice” the post. “A bit more images, less text.” Utilise what you have as much as you possible. With only your phone, you can make your club bigger.

Mr. Hassan Ryzo gave his closing remarks and the conference ended.
