The current handler of the national team, Otto Addo disclosed to the media per reports on myjoyonline that, he once called the 29-year-old midfielder and invited him to the national team back in February when they were on the verge of qualifying for the World Cup against Nigeria in a playoff [but] Alfred Duncan declined and he [Otto Addo] had to accept his decision.
Otto Addo’s own words to the media – “The last time I called him was in February, we had a good talk, I wanted to invite him, [but] he told me the reasons he didn’t want to come and I had to accept it. It was hard for me to understand because he had the opportunity to maybe join the team which was going to the World Cup but he has his decisions and I have to accept it“.
