“I was born and raised in Italy, but I do not forget my Ghanaian heritage. I know the language of my parents, I have something of African behavior. My parents used to tell me: “Even if you were born in Italy, you should never forget what blood runs in your veins!”. From the Ghanaians, I picked up the respect for elders and also for any person you meet, and from the Italians, the accent when they speak the language, the way of life. I’m an Afro-Italian mix,” Godberg Cooper said.

“Dad told me a lot about Hagi, he was his fan. Indeed, from what I saw on YouTube, Hagi was one of the most important footballers in the world.”

“I feel good with my colleagues, the staff, the Romanians are friendly. I love sarmale and pretzels. We don’t find them in Italy (…) “The roads in Romania are killing me. Sometimes it’s very stressful, not just difficult. When we went to play at UTA, we sat on the bus all day. But that’s life, there’s no excuses, you have to ride a lot of hours, then be fresh and then recover quickly,” Godberg Cooper said.
