Let me play in Brazil even for just 5 minutes - Laryea Kingston

The clubless midfielder Laryea
Kingston feels his resume is
incomplete without a World Cup
appearance. The 33-year-old is
still determined to play for Ghana
at the 2014 World Cup even if it’s
for just five minutes.
“It is the dream of every player to
be in the national team and
everyone knows I have given a lot
to the national team but have
never played at the World Cup.
“So if I get the opportunity again,
why not. Even just five minutes at
the World Cup will do.
“Even being with the squad for
the World Cup, if even it is for just
five minutes, I will be a complete
man.”
The ex Heart of Midlothian
midfielder was once an integral
member of the Black Stars –
forming a feared midfield
partnership with Stephen Appiah,
Michael Essien and Sulley Muntari.
But Kingston missed an
opportunity to play at the 2006
World Cup due to a ban having
helped the Black Stars throughout
the qualification series.
“I was a key player in the national
team. I helped the team
throughout two World Cup
qualifiers.
“But I have never gotten the
opportunity to play there and that
is why I am so determined to
make it there.
He was again dropped from the
final squad for the 2010 World
Cup in South Africa.
The former Lokomotiv Moscow
man fees his career is never
fulfilled by the deficit of not
playing in football’s biggest event
and now wants to give everything
to realise his dream even if it last
the shortest possible time.
“Personally I have my target in
football, trust me, if I had played
in the World Cup before, I
wouldn’t even think about playing
again for the national team,” he
told GHANAsoccernet. com.
“But I feel in my career that is the
only thing I need to complete my
CV. So it is something that really
worries me, I have to be very
honest.
“I am still active; I am still playing
so if I get the opportunity to play
for the national team again, why
not", he said.
