Without an African Striker i feel like i won\u2019t succeed. My belief about African Strikers started with Benni Mccarthy at FC Porto whereby He scored more than 20 league goals to help me &amp; FC Porto to win the Portuguese League Title . In that same season He scored very important goals for me in the Uefa Champions League that helped our careers to be well known in Europe by winning my first Champions League as a Coach \u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201d From Portugal to Chelsea in England, i find Didier Drogba. He was a great African weapon to win with me an English Premiership. I wanted Benni Mccarthy to join me to partner Didier Drogba up front but at that time He was at Blackburn Rovers and He was the only hit man there. So they refused to give us Benni Mccarthy no matter the Offer i put on the Table \u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201d From Chelsea to inter Milan, there i wanted to win the Uefa Champions League so badly. But I only had two Ghanaian midfielders and that was not enough for me to win Champions League as i was dominating the league only. So I sat down and thought hard about having an African Striker again. I approached FC Barcelona and they willingly sold to me the best signing of my Career Samuel E\u2019too and the same season with Eto\u2019o I won Champions League\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cfrom Inter Milan to Real Madrid. There at Real Madrid I had all talents but the reason I didn\u2019t win the Champions League is because I had no African Striker. I tried Emmanuel Adebayour but it was a loan move so Madrid does not like to use loaned Players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Brazil have Great Strikers, but if you look at them they are of African origin. I always teach new coaches on my coaching facilities that you must always have an African Striker in your team . \u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201cperfect example at Manchester United they don\u2019t believe much in African Strikers, no wonder i didn\u2019t enjoy much success there. Some strikes gives you league titles but African Strikers gives you Champions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
