“Ghanaians can be funny sometimes. When we bring in players to play for us, and they do not play well, we will say, ‘oh, they do not know our culture and stuff’,” Michael Essien asserted.

He then responded to the question with respect to how good Thomas Partey is as compared to him, “between myself and Thomas Partey in our primes, I don’t think I would pick myself. I would go for Partey. He is a fantastic midfielder you know,” Essien said.
