Tighten your belts because it’s not going to be easy, Anas warns corrupt ‘sports’ administrators & politicians

The undercover investigative journalist has hinted that his recent work which is to be premiered in a couple of weeks time will be causing serious troubles than ever

Renowned Ghanaian investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has revealed that throughout his career, his latest work which is expected to be released on June 6 and 7, is one of the most challenging assignments ever carried out by himself and the Tiger Eye crew.

The faceless journalist, who in recent years, has opened the lid on several corrupt and illegal practices going on in the country and across the African continent, is about to premiere his latest work ‘when misconduct and greed become the norm’ targeted at sports and politics in Ghana, according to AshesGyamera‘s sources.

Speaking at 2018 World Press Freedom day’s parallel session on investigative journalism in Accra, on Thursday, Anas gave a hint of what Ghanaians should expect and further advised them to tighten their belts since many of their family members and friends could be in trouble.

“Now, what has been the most challenging piece of work I have done….it’s difficult [to select] because it’s been so many. I think that by now you have seen the billboards and I’m sure but I want to preempt you before you start asking me questions,” Anas said.

“That work [which will be out next month] was challenging. In the next few weeks, it’s not going to be easy at all. Please, tighten your belts and let’s go for another.

“The politicians will have their share of it, the non-politicians [including sports administrators] will also have their share of it and I think that, that [work] was a little challenging for me,” he added.

Anas added that he is not afraid of the risk that his works come with since it is normal in every field.

“I think that journalism is like being in that hot kitchen. The dangers associated with our work are real and not just imaginations. So you ask yourself if you’re really prepared for it or not because we invite harm, death and threat upon ourselves,” he said.

According to AshesGyamera‘s sources, several politicians and others involved in the shameful deeds captured on tape, are contemplating whether to flee the country, commit suicide to avoid the public ridicule and backlash or seek spiritual interventions so that they can be spared.

Thomas Partey wants Arsenal eliminated from Europa League, tight-lipped on move to Premier League

The Ghanaian midfielder is aware of the threat the Gunners possess ahead of the return leg but believes the Spanish giants will make it to the final

By: Evans Gyamera-Antwi

Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Teye Partey says they are determined to eliminate Premier League giants Arsenal and make it to the Uefa Europa League final on Thursday.

Los Rojiblancos picked a vital 1-1 away scoreline in the first leg at Emirates Stadium despite having one man down very early in the game and have an opportunity to make Arsene Wenger’s last season in charge of the visitors something he will always want to forget at Wanda Metropolitano.

“The tie is not over but of course not to sound arrogant we know what we have to do to get to the final,” Partey told The Independent.

“They have their mission to sign off [Arsene] Wenger very well but we also have to continue to ensure that every season we are among the best in Europe and that is where our fire comes from.

“Things can change so fast in football so we don’t have to lower our guard we know we have world class players but Arsenal has also world class players so it will all come down to the determined team so we will be ready for them for another battle,” he added.

Partey, however, is not being carried away with reports linking him to several Premier League clubs and insists he is currently happy and focused in Spain.

“I don’t really read too much into what the media say regarding me moving, I leave that all to my management but of course everybody knows the English game is one of the best in the World,” he ssaid.

“I have played in their stadiums twice already this season at Stamford Bridge and at the Emirates and I know how the atmosphere is but at the minute I am so happy in Madrid.

“I get to train under Simeone and he trusts me so I can not ask more at the minute and I am enjoying my football in every game,” he added.

The winner of the game between Atletico and Arsenal will square it of with the winner from Olympique Marseille and Salzburg’s tie in the final.

Caf rejects Nana Agyemang Badu Park for Caf Confederation Cup group stage

The continent’s football governing body has asked the Ghanaian champions to find a new venue ahead of the Confederation Cup group stage

By: Evans Gyamera-Antwi

Confederation of African Football (CAF) has rejected Aduana Stars’ submission to use Nana Agyemang Badu Park in Dormaa Ahenkro for their home games in the group stage of the Caf Confederation Cup group stage, AshesGyamera understands.

The Fire Club after defeating Fosa Juniors from Madagascar to make it to the group stage, were handed group A of the competition which has Asec Mimosa from Cote d’Ivoire, Raja Casablanca of Algeria and Congolese side AS Vita but their venue lacks electronic scoreboard, adequate media center and floodlights as well as other factors which will aid live telecast since all games will be beamed on TV.

Aduana will travel to Abidjan for the first game against Asec on May 6 before they host Raja on May 16 at a new venue which will be communicated later as they are the only club to have their home ground rejected.

According to AshesGyamera’s sources, Aduana will either choose the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, Len Clay Sports Stadium in Obuasi or Cape Coast Sports Stadium.

Chelsea decided to sell Mo Salah not me, says Mourinho

 

The Red Devils manager has hits out on critics who claim he decided to sell the Egyptian to the Serie A club in 2016

Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho has revealed that it was never his decision to sell Egyptian international Mohamed Salah to Roma in 2016.

The Portuguese manager has been blamed for Chelsea losing such an important player especially after the 25-year-old has been in a blistering form this season with Liverpool, after scoring 41 goals so far in all competitions.

“People say that I was the one that sold Salah and it is the opposite. I bought Salah. I was the one that told Chelsea to buy Salah. It was with me in charge that Salah came to Chelsea. But he came as a young kid, physically he was not ready, mentally he was not ready, socially and culturally he was lost and everything was tough for him,” Mourinho told ESPN.

“We decided to put him on loan and he asked for that as well. He wanted to play more minutes, to mature, he wanted to go and we sent him on loan to Fiorentina, and at Fiorentina he started to mature.

‘Chelsea decided to sell him, OK? And when they say that I was the one that sold him it is a lie. I bought him. I agreed to send him on loan, I thought it was necessary, I thought that Chelsea had wingers. Some of them are still there like Willian, Eden Hazard and all those players already in a different level.

“Effectively I did buy Salah, I didn’t sell Salah, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is that he is a fantastic player, and I am really happy for everything that is happening for him and especially because he scores against everyone and he didn’t score against us in two games,” he added.

Salah joined Liverpool in 2017 for a club-record fee of £36.5m. He has however been linked with a move to Real Madrid

Kwesi Nyantakyi must contest in 2019 GFA elections, says Caf president Ahmad

The African football chief wants his deputy to rescind his decision not to contest for the general elections next year

Caf president Ahmad Ahmad believes it will be wrong for Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi not to contest in the 2019 FA general elections in a bid to seek another tenure in office.

Nyantakyi on countless occasions revealed that he won’t be in office again when his current term elapses, leading to his former vice president George Afriyie declaring his intentions to succeed him.

However, Nyantakyi’s recent actions and decisions including the sacking of Afriyie as the vice-president because of his declaration and aspirations, have suggested otherwise.

“If the government and people ask him to continue, then why must he stop? The people need him, the stakeholders need him so why must he not contest again,” Ahmad told Starr FM.

“We are here to serve our nation and service to your country comes first and so I will advise him to seek re-election in 2019,” he added.

Ahmad who arrived in the country on Monday to receive an honorary doctorate degree from the University of Professional Studied Accra, will leave on Thursday morning to continue his role at Caf, including helping Morocco to win the 2026 Fifa World Cup bid as they come against United States, Canada and Mexico as co-hosts.

Mohamed Salah is the best player in the world currently, says Caf president Ahmad

By: Evans Gyamera-Antwi

Caf president Ahmad Ahmad believes Egypt international and Liverpool superstar Mohammed Salah is currently the best player in the world.

Salah has been in a blistering form for club and country helping Egypt to qualify to the 2018 Fifa World Cup for the first time in 30 years.

Again, he has scored 41 goals in all competitions and has helped Liverpool to set up a semifinal clash against Roma in the Uefa Champions League.

“Myself, I think if Liverpool win the Uefa Champions League, he maybe in the [final] best three players in the world because the performance of his club and national team are all important for him to make the list,” Ahmad told AshesGyamera.com, after visiting the King of Asante Kingdom in Kumasi.

“Honestly, he’s the best now. Not even Messi [or Ronaldo] are the current best players in the world but Salah,” he added.

Ahmad also insisted that Salah’s performance in Europe has vindicated the technical team of Caf, following their decision to name him as the reigning best player on the continent.

“When Africans chose the best Player of the Year, Salah was the best so it’s an evidence that Caf did a very good job,” he said.

“People criticized us the technical team but they chose the best and I’m very happy for that and for the team that selected him.”

Salah has been voted as the 2018 PFA Player of the Year.
