Joel Kojo: "I prayed to God to see Cristiano"

Kyrgyzstan national team footballer Joel Kojo has spoken about his meeting with Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo.

This happened during the first half of the year when the Ghanaian-born forward was playing for Iran's Esteghlal club in the AFC Champions League, Idman.biz reports.

Kojo said on the "Lights Podcast": “I wanted to meet Cristiano Ronaldo. My team was set to play against Al-Nassr in the AFC Champions League. I really wanted to see Cristiano. We met, and it was a beautiful moment. After the game, he gave me his shirt. It was a great pleasure for me.

When I was in Ghana, I used to pray and ask to meet Cristiano and play against him. I asked God with all my heart: ‘I want to see Cristiano.’ And look, I saw him.”
