They say wonders shall never end! South African Premier Soccer League(PSL) TS Galaxy has sacked Ghanaian player Anas Mohammed for carrying bad luck.
According to reports from South Africa, some TS Galaxy players approached the club leadership and pointed out that the Ghanaian striker has bad luck which is affecting the team on the pitch. This influenced the club’s decision to fire the Ghanaian star.
The Ghanaian striker joined Free State Stars and they were relegated before he moved to Polokwane City where they suffered a similar fate. He then made a move to Black Leopards and they were also relegated.
Subsequently, he transferred to TS Galaxy and this has now sparked concerns among the players that they would be relegated if the Ghanaian is not sacked.
According to South Africa’s Citizen News newspaper, the Galaxy players raised their concern about Anas having bad luck and transferring it to the whole team.
“Every team he’s played for here (in South Africa) has either dodged relegation by a whisker or got relegated. He was at Maritzburg and they merely survived relegation that season. He was at Free State Stars when they were relegated and the same happened at Polokwane City
“Last season he was with Black Leopards and the same thing happened. The players were worried that they are trying everything but the results are just not coming. He was quietly released by the club last week,” reported the newspaper.
Anas joined TS Galaxy in August this year from Black Leopards who got relegated at the end of last season. TS Galaxy is currently second from the bottom (15th position) on the PSL table with five points. Rock bottom-placed Gallants has four points.
In 2017, a post-match interview by Anas went viral after he thanked his wife and girlfriend. He, however, denied being unfaithful, saying, “My family knows that I call my daughter my girlfriend. That’s what I was talking about. I don’t have a girlfriend.”
