Kwadwo Asamoah: Former Juventus and Inter Milan ace responds to Ghanaian Premier League comeback calls

“In the future, I won’t mind going there [to Ghana] and play football, but now is not the right time for me to do it, ”Asamoah told BBC Sport Africa.

“I have quite a few years ahead of me to play in Europe before considering such a decision.

“For me that would mean going back and supporting Ghanaian football, encouraging young people, sharing my experiences in Europe with them and giving them something in return.

“I know they would watch a player like me and be eager to learn; I could help them with my experience, show them what is needed and encourage them.

“It might also inspire other actors who are currently in Europe to come back and help. We could be role models for them. ”

Asamoah last played for Ghana at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, where the team left the competition in the round of 16.

It was his fourth unsuccessful attempt to help the Black Stars end their search for a first continental title since 1982.

“We were so close to winning the Africa Cup of Nations many times and never have,” said Asamoah.

“We’ve been doing this for 30 years now; we got to the final three times, but we never managed to win it.

“I know you have to come to terms with these things, you can’t win it all, but it’s something that I really would have liked to bring home to my country.”

Asamoah played for Liberty Professionals during his time in the Ghana Premier League.

Internationally, he also represented Ghana at the 2010 and 2014 World Cup tournaments.
