Cristiano Ronaldo at the mercy of a witch doctor

It has been rumoured that Cristiano Ronaldo’s knee injury that might most likely rule him out of the world cup is the handwork of a very famous witch doctor in Ghana. The witch doctor whose name's are, Nana Kwaku Bonsam predicted earlier this year that the world's greatest footballer would miss the 2014 World Cup in Brazil due to injury. Having waited the best part of four months for the World Cup to come around, Nana Kwaku Bonsam’s prediction suddenly appeared to be a very realistic one after the Portuguese Football Association confirmed that the Real Madrid forward was struggling with two separate injuries.
The reports confirmed that Ronaldo is suffering from tendinosis in his left knee, as well as a muscular problem in his left thigh. Having already missed Portugal’s international friendly against Greece last weekend, he is expected to sit out the first of two World Cup warm-up friendlies against Mexico on Saturday, with his participation in the second fixture against the Republic of Ireland on Tuesday also in doubt.
With Ghana set to meet Portugal in their final Group G fixture on 26 June, Bonsam – whose name translates to the ‘Devil of Wednesday’ – claims to have conjured a special spirit from the gods using four dogs, several leaves and a concoction of powders placed around an image and a caricature of the Champions League winner. Speaking to Kumasi-based radio station Angel FM, Bonsam said: “I know what Cristiano Ronaldo’s injury is about, I’m working on him. “I am very serious about it. Last week, I went around looking for four dogs and I got them to be used in manufacturing a special spirit called Kahwiri Kapam.
 Bonsam serves at the Kofioo Kofi shrine and predicted in February that Ronaldo would be struck down by injury for the showpiece tournament, and he even predicted that the 29-year-old will pick up another injury before the tournament gets underway. He added: “I said it four months ago that I will work on Cristiano Ronaldo seriously and rule him out of the World up or at least prevent him from playing against Ghana and the best thing I can do is to keep him out though injury.”
If Cristiano misses out on this world cup, it might turn out to be a matter of concern to the Portuguese national team who have built everything around him. But Ghana, on the other hand will see it as a blessing and it will be a moral booster when they finally lock horns with Portugal.
