Kamal Sowah feels at home at AZ, which the attacker (22) from Ghana took over from Club Brugge during the winter break on a rental basis. The mercenary arrived at the Belgian top club last summer and worked intensively for several months with, among others, Noa Lang. Sowah knows that the attacker is sometimes negatively in the news, but according to the AZ player, the image that exists about Lang is not entirely correct.
“A fantastic player and teammate”, as Lang is described by Sowah in an extensive interview with Football International† “Before I came to Bruges, I had read a lot of stories about him. That he would be a special boy and all that. The reality is completely different. Noa is a very nice and social boy. He made me feel at home quickly, we We immediately clicked. We are still in contact with each other. So you can see that image and reality are not always the same,” emphasizes the midfielder rented out by Bruges.
Sowah is not blind to the football world anyway. The attacker is socially involved, especially when it comes to matters that take place in his native Ghana. In that context, he likes to mirror Memphis Depay. “Memphis Depay’s good work in Ghana is inspiring to me. He helps deaf and blind children and in that way gives valuable things back to his father’s country,” said Sowah, who really sees the Barcelona and the Dutch attacker as a role model. sees for the youth in the African country.
“His career and that of African footballers in Europe are also important for the youth in Ghana. They need role models, who can show them that everything is possible in life. Also for them. Memphis talks about his lion heart and recognizes him as an African I do. It is what drives us to be successful and never give up,” said Sowah, who has now played five games in the AZ shirt.
