“Of course it’s a business model. Ghana has always had huge potential in terms of talent, and you can see that in the national team,” Matthaus said, as quoted by Bild.
“We want to bring young players to Europe in a serious way and already well-trained. That’s why we’re also investing in the training ground here.”
