Former Ghana captain, Asamoah Gyan, has admitted that black magic, also known as juju exist in football because ‘everything that has a name exist’.
The 37-year-old also listed a number of incidents they were forced to use juju at the juvenile level, revealing the player who refused to do it was blamed if the result doesn’t go their way.
There have been mixed responses from people involved in sport regarding the existence of juju but Gyan, Ghana’s all-time top scorer, did not go round about its existence.
“Anything that has a name exists. We all, like in colts, we all go together and they tell us 'get this and bath with it, do this and that',” Gyan said in an interview with Dan Kwaku Yeboah.
“And if you don’t do it and the team loses, they’ll say you caused the defeat. With Cedar, we did it once or twice. We played Liberty we were beaten 4-0, but juju is in football.”
“I remember another colts game, a man told us to do something for two goals. Sometimes with a padlock they will tell you if you score one that is it.”
He added: “You can get an empty net and shoot wide when the one goal enters that is it so it (juju) is there. When someone scores a goal people usually say this is a mallam goal they know it (juju) is there.”
“We all have what we believe. Someone will close from church and pass by a mallam. There are a lot of players if they will tell the truth they do those things.
“Someone will not tell you their secret but if you are very observant you will see that something is going on. That person will not tell you there is something going on but if you are observant there are certain things you will see.”
