Jerome Boateng, Kevin Prince Boateng’s half brother, has been playing diplomat, meeting with Michael Ballack and apologizing on his brother’s behalf.
When Kevin Prince takes the field in the Ghana vs Germany encounter in the World Cup, there will be tension on the field and a good chance that these could translate into extra-curricular activities.
Jerome has already said that his brother deserved a red for his tackle on Ballack. But he defends him in an interview with Bild when asked if it was intentional:
“Many people are certain that this was the case. But this is far-fetched. Kevin-Prince does not have the best reputation. He would like to undo it. “
When asked why they were so different:
“Other brothers are too! We did not grow up together. He also had it harder than me. No matter what happens: He’s my brother! ”
Kevin Prince should be thankful that his brother is his best spokesperson and a visible one at that. When Germans think of the Boateng brothers, the one that they should remember is the sane one.
