Red-hot Ghanaian forward, Mohammed Sofo, who plays for New York Red Bulls in the Major League Soccer, has opened up on his dreams of playing for the Black Stars of Ghana.
One of the revelations of the season in the MLS, Sofo has contributed immensely to NY Red Bulls in the ongoing campaign, scoring five goals in 17 matches.
The exciting winger has become a mainstay in coach Sandro Schwarz’s team and was in action for the New Yorkers in their game against Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami last Saturday at the Sports Illustrated Stadium.
“First of all, I am happy. Being a Ghanaian and performing well in the MLS, it is good because it is not only putting my name out there but my country, Ghana, on the map so I am just happy and will keep doing what I am doing,” he told GHANASoccernet in an exclusive interview.
Despite his dazzling performances in the league, which has endeared him to fans of NY Red Bulls, Black Stars coach Otto Addo is yet to hand him an invite.
According to Sofo, he believes himself and teammate Ronald Donkor, also Ghanaian, have the qualities to make a mark in the Black Stars.
“To be honest, I asked my friend because of the qualities we have and not just me, I asked him the question because I know the qualities he has. It will be a dream for us to represent our country, so I just wanted to know how he feels,” he continued.
“We have friends in the national team also so it is just a question of I will say our feeling of wanting to be there one day,” he added.
