Ransford Yeboah Konigsdorffer plays for the Black Stars
Ghana forward Ransford Yeboah Konigsdorffer hopes to continue his newfound form after back-to-back goals in the German Bundesliga.
Yeboah-Konigsdorffer inspired Hamburger SV to victory against Union Berlin on Saturday after netting a brace in the 3-2 win at Volksparkstadion.
The Black Stars forward was also pivotal in the victory at Heidenheim, opening the scoring in the 2-0 win.
“I was obviously really happy about it. I hope I can take that feeling into the next games now,” said the Ghanaian attacker.
Prior to those games, Yeboah-Konigsdorffer had netted only once in the German top-flight league, leading to criticism from fans.
“It’s clear that my goal return so far hasn’t been good enough. Sometimes you make the wrong decisions, sometimes you lack a bit of luck, or you don’t get into the right positions,” he continued.
“I can definitely hold my hands up and say I’ve had enough chances and could have scored more goals. Now it’s about making better decisions in the future so that more goals follow.”
The 24-year-old, who was instrumental in Hamburger’s promotion last season, believes his latest run could inspire a turnaround in fortunes.
“I don’t see everything and I don’t read everything, but of course there’s been some criticism and even a bit of hate. A lot of people still don’t believe in me. I hope I can change that view and show what I’m really capable of. But honestly, that criticism doesn’t interest me that much. What I really feel is the trust and backing of the people who matter to me – the coaching staff, my teammates, and those closest to me,” he concluded.
