Ghanaian international Razak Abalora played in a champions league game for his club FC Sheriff against Maribor yesterday. Goalkeeper Razak Abalora started the game for his club and lasted the entire duration. The match was UEFA Champions League Second Qualifying Round.
Before yesterday’s game, Razak Abalora had been an integral member for FC Sheriff after joining them Ghana Premier League champions Asante Kotoko. He started the season with Asante Kotoko but left after the completion of a transfer deal between Asante Kotoko and FC Sheriff.
He has kept lots of clean sheets for FC Sheriff and replicated that in yesterday’s UEFA Champions League qualifying fixture.
Razak Abalora has been in stupendous shape and could only hope for a national team call up. A consistent performance coupled with the ability of his team to make it to the UEFA Champions League group stage can write a huge statement on his behalf, with emphasis on his inclusion into the Senior National team Black Stars of Ghana.
A clean sheet in a Champions League game makes an impression but same performance in the return fixture cannot be described.
Coach Otto Addo and his henchmen are preparing to name players for upcoming international assignments and his inclusion, which is based on merit, will hinge on how well he copes at club side.
