Accepted Answer

Nana Kwaku Bonsam has claimed responsibility for Cristiano Ronaldo’s knee injury and for trying to stop Harry Kane from scoring

Nana Kwaku Bonsam, a self-proclaimed witch doctor, has made past football superstition claims including saying he used supernatural powers to cause Cristiano Ronaldo’s troublesome knee injury. He also claimed that he was “working on” Harry Kane to stop the England captain from scoring ahead of a Ghana match.
He claimed he could derail Harry Kane before Ghana played England
Ahead of the World Cup clash between Ghana and England, Bonsam vowed he was “working on” Harry Kane to stop him from scoring. After the match ended 0-0 and Kane failed to find the net, social media jokes centred on his pre-match boast.
He previously claimed supernatural powers caused Cristiano Ronaldo’s knee injury
Before Ghana’s 2014 World Cup meeting with Portugal, Bonsam claimed responsibility for Cristiano Ronaldo’s knee injury. He said he had used supernatural powers to derail the Portuguese star and to rule him out of the World Cup, or at least prevent him.
His claims link his “predictions” to real match outcomes
Bonsam described himself as “very famous for” predictions and said he knew what he needed to do to neutralise Kane without wishing him serious injury. The framing of his claims has repeatedly tied supernatural intervention to specific players in high-profile tournament matches.
His name is tied to “Devil of Wednesday”
Bonsam’s name translates to “Devil of Wednesday,” a detail that has been repeated alongside his superstition claims. The same name appeared in coverage of both his Kane boast and his earlier Ronaldo injury claim.
