England saviour keeps her piano close at hand

England saviour keeps her piano close at hand

Michelle Agyemang, aged 19, saved England at the World Cup by equalising in the last two minutes of normal time.

To keep a level head, she plays piano. Michelle tells the FA website: ‘I have my piano here, and I’ve been having a great time on that. The kitman brought it over in a van. It’s calm and relaxing.’

Elsewhere she says: ‘On game days, I probably spend about two hours just playing and enjoying myself.’

The Mail reports: ‘Agyemang listens to gospel music before every match to calm her mind. Indeed, her church background has led to one of her beloved hobbies, playing the piano, and she has even had her one transported out to Switzerland …. When she’s not playing, she’s got her head in the books for a business management course at King’s College London.’

‘Agyemang’ is a Ghanaian Akan name meaning ‘saviour of the nation’.
