SKOR.id - Gelandang senior asal Ghana, Michael Essien, mengaku nyaman tinggal di kota Baku, Azerbaijan.

Meski usianya sudah menginjak 37 tahun, Michael Essien masih tetap aktif sebagai pesepak bola profesional.

Saat ini, Essien memilih untuk melanjutkan karier di Azerbaijan bersama klub kasta teratas Sabail FK sejak tahun 2019.

Selama kurang lebih satu tahun berada di Azerbaijan, eks-gelandang Chelsea itu merasa nyaman tinggal di sana. Pemain berjuluk Si Bison itu menyebut bahwa kota Baku bebas kemacetan jika dibandingkan dengan Indonesia.

"Ketika saya memberi tahu teman-teman soal Baku, mereka bahkan tidak tahu kota itu berada di mana. Tetapi itu tidak menghalangi saya untuk pergi ke Azerbaijan," kata Essien kepada program TV Rusia, Match TV.

"Tidak ada kemacetan lalu lintas di Baku sama sekali dan saya punya perbandingannya. Beberapa tahun yang lalu saya sempat bermain di Indonesia, situasi lalu lintas di sana 20 kali lebih buruk," ucap Essien.

Lebih lanjut, Essien juga mengatakan bahwa makanan di Azerbaijan juga lebih enak.

"Masakan Azerbaijan sangat enak, tetapi tinggi kalori," kata eks-pemain Real Madrid itu.

Essien sempat berkarier di Indonesia pada tahun 2017.

Hingga akhirnya, Michael Essien hengkang dari Persib Bandung pada awal musim 2018.
