Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Ghanaian winger Kamaldeen Sulemana has revealed that he will no longer perform his famous backflip celebration, admitting that his parents have always warned him against it.<\/p>\n

The Atalanta star said his parents\u2019 concerns came rushing back after his acrobatic celebration against Juventus.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy backflip celebration? My parents told me not to do it because it\u2019s dangerous. But against Juventus, it was an adrenaline rush: I didn\u2019t think about it, it came spontaneously. I won\u2019t do it again. I\u2019ll find another celebration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kamaldeen explained that his gymnastics skills, which made the celebration possible, were developed during his early years at Ghana\u2019s Right to Dream Academy \u2014 a school known not only for nurturing football talent but also for encouraging all-round physical and academic development.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned it at the Right to Dream Academy, where, in addition to football, I also did gymnastics,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Despite his flair and reputation as one of the fastest players in world football, Kamaldeen insists he values team play over personal glory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI prefer an assist,\u201d he added with a smile.<\/p>\n
