“Ghanaians and English people enjoy football the same.” — Michael Essien Quote

“Ghanaians and English people enjoy football the same.”

“I've always enjoyed getting forward, pushing up-field to help us in our attacks, but I think you can still do that from a central position, too. You don't have to sit deep all the time.”

“Highs have to be all the trophies I won with Chelsea over the 8-9 years I was with them there. We had a good group, and we were winners from the goal keeper right throughout the team. These are the highs you never forget as a player.”

“Lots of English people say exactly the opposite of what they mean.”

“The only people who should play for England are English people.”

“It's not easy for a foreigner to come to England and win the respect of your team-mates, of the fans, and of the English people.”
