Ex-African best player advise Ghanaian players on how to make it big in Europe.

Former African best player and Kotoko legend Abdul Razak has advised Ghanaian players to double up their training if they want to succeed in Europe.

For the past years, number of Ghanaian footballers such as Samuel Yeboah, Frank Sarfo, Daniel Agyei, Fatau Dauda and among others have all had their respective contracts terminated after failing to meet the standard Europe.

But in the view of Razak, in order for Ghanaian players to make it big in Europe, they should double up their performance so that the aforementioned situation can be averted.

“The foreign clubs have good players and they expect you from another country to be better than what they have. So they know you are in to help them than to equal what they have.
"So you (players) need to double up, that is train when there is no training. Because you are not there to sleep”, he told Starr FM.

Razak coached Kotoko in 2003 to win the Ghana Premier League.

Razak was a member of the Ghana national team that competed at the 1978 African Cup of Nations as hosts of the tournament. He scored two game-winning goals, one against Zambia in the first round, and another one to defeat Tunisia 1–0 in semi-finals. His decisive goal against Tunisia has been referred to as the "Golden Goal". Ghana defeated Uganda in the final, winning their 3rd continental title. In good part due to his effort to help Ghana win the African Cup, Razak was named African Player of the Year months later, becoming the second of three Ghanaian players ever to win the award.

According to a UEFA report, Razak appeared in a total of 70 international matches for Ghana, scoring 25 goals
