“You become a criminal or you play football, so I choose to play football,” the former Barcelona and AC Milan star said.
“I was always special from the first moment and I knew it. I was my biggest rival all the time. There’s no one else who can be my rival.
“Because no one is like me, no one thinks like me, no one has emotions like me. It’s just me and myself. I had to learn that as well, talent is nothing without hard work.”
He eventually played for some of the top clubs in Europe, including Tottenham Hotspur, Borussia Dortmund, and AC Milan, despite coming from a modest background.
Prior to making one final appearance for Hertha Berlin, he was also on the rosters of AC Milan, Schalke O4, Barcelona, Fiorentina, and Monza.
Boateng also had a career filled with victories, taking home the Serie A, Coppa Italia, Supercoppa Italiana, DFB Pokal, and La Liga trophies.
