Ace Ghanaian sports journalist, Collins Atta Poku, has divulged details of conversations he had with some players and officials of Manchester City during their pre-season tour of the United States of America.<\/p>\n
Atta Poku, who was in the US at the time, noted that journalists were granted access to the teams at their hotel and during pre- and post-match press conferences.<\/p>\n
Atta Poku contrasted the orderliness and respect around those clubs to what pertains to Ghana football.<\/p>\n
He then shed light on his conversations with Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola, and Raheem Sterling, who was on the books of Chelsea then.<\/p>\n
According to him, Pep Guardiola was heavily interested in the state of Ghana football and asked questions about some Ghanaian footballers.<\/p>\n
Atta Poku said Guardiola enquired about the Ghana Premier League and some of the clubs in the country.<\/p>\n
Raheem Sterling, according to Atta Poku, said that through Michael Essien and other Ghanaian football stars, he has learnt a lot about Ghana.<\/p>\n
He believes that the openness of these top clubs to journalists should be a lesson to Ghanaian football administrators, who he reckons treat media people with utter disrespect.<\/p>\n
