Hearts of Oak legend Dong Bortey showers praise on ‘intelligent’ Kotoko star Fabio Gama

Hearts of Oak legend, Bernard Dong Bortey says he would be a happy man if Asante Kotoko midfielder Fabio Gama was a Ghanaian.

The Brazilian import has been a livewire for the Porcupines following his arrival to the club.

Gama signed a two-year deal with the club before the start of the 2020/21 season and has been one of the best players of the club.

In the ongoing season, the 29-year-old has been impactful in his few matches played this season despite injuries.

In Kotoko’s 3-0 win against Elmina Sharks in the matchday 33 games at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday night, Gama was in his element as he played a crucial role.

And according to Bortey, he has seen better players compared to Gama but the Brazilian is an intelligent player.

He added that he is jealous of the playmaker and wishes he [Fabio Gama] is a Ghanaian.

“I have carefully watched Fabio Gama and he is such an intelligent player,” the former Hearts of Oak forward told Kumasi-based Pure FM.

“I have played with players who were better than Fabio Gama but I wish he [Fabio Gama] is a Ghanaian.

“His ball control and finding spaces in the opposite box is something he does with ease,” he added.

It is unknown if Asante Kotoko will extend the contract of Gama at the end of the season.
