Gor Mahia midfielder has finally delved into what it means living in Kenya after his move to the 21-time Kenya Premier League champions in July.
Three months after penning a two-year deal with Gor, the Ghanaian midfielder revealed to Pulse Sports how ‘tough’ his stay has been. The lean deep-lying playmaker said he finds it hard to eat especially before the game, but he will have to adjust.
The visionary player who has been a fresh breath at the middle of the park for K'O Gallo, started in the 3-0 demolition of Rangers in the rain-soaked Kenyatta stadium.
«My stay in Kenya has been tough. It’s difficult for me to eat. Even sometimes before a game, what I take is difficult but I’m trying,» he said before adding «I am a professional footballer, we travel around so I have to adjust». The former player who left his home club as a free agent, said he has a strict schedule and does not go to places after training.
He added that he doesn’t see his friends while also revealing his preference for chapati. «I like chapati,» he said, as he beamed with a smile when pressed on his love for food. «I have not been to a lot of places. I’m always home because after training I don’t see my friends. I’m yet to see the culture,» he added.
The West African has been a revelation for Gor, and his creativity has made K’O Gallo a ruthless team. Gor Mahia have a 100 percent record after two matches and are yet to concede a goal. The KPL defending champions began their title defense in style, putting to the sword Mathare United in the 4-0 win.
Rooney Onyango has been missing in action for Gor Mahia as he was omitted from the team's CAF Champions League squad and missed the opening league fixture against Mathare United.
Last weekend, ‘s charges thumped Posta Rangers 3-0 at the Kenyatta Stadium, Machakos, to underline their title credentials. As he settles in Kenya, Morrison reckons he needs to make and meet new friends as well as familiarize himself with Nairobi City.
«I’m alone and I stay with Geoffrey who has a family. If I have someone who will be taking me out why not,» he quizzed. «Once in a while just go out to visit the town but for now, I’m always in the house». Morrison will hope to make a third start in the league when Gor Mahia takes on KCB on October 23.
