Red Star was perfect for that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am also sleeping early and I have a more positive attitude in training. For me training has become like the game itself, because I realise that you can&#8217;t have one attitude for training and another for match day. It doesn&#8217;t work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In 13 season matches in the Serbian topflight so far, Boakye has raked in 14 goals, having also netted six times in 12 appearances in the Europa League. The Agogo-born was also once on the books of Genoa, Sassuolo and Spanish side Elche.<\/p>\n<p>His connection to Chelsea has been largely due to the Blues current manager Antonio Conte under whom he briefly played at Juventus in 2012. Boakye\u2019s top form has also won him a place back in Ghana&#8217;s national set-up, where he netted a double against Congo in a 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifier in September.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related_articles\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"clear: both; font-size: 90%; background-color: #eeeaea; padding: 5px; width: 60%; margin-top: 10px;\">\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/53372278.jpg\" style=\"padding-right:2px;\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0;width:100%; vertical-align:middle; font-size:11px;\">Courtesy of Goal.com &#8211; the world&#8217;s largest football website.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Comments:<\/strong><br \/>\nThis article has no comments yet, be the first to comment\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 35 updated by: 35 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Players Abroad of Wednesday, 6 December 2017 Source: Goal.com 2017-12-06 Richmond Boakye Yiadom Ghana striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom has shed light on his return to top form after years out of the limelight.
