Diminutive Asante enjoying time with Black Stars
By ameenu Shardow
Solomon Asante says he is not getting carried away with the flurry of praises coming his way at the Black Stars’ training sessions.
The Berekum Chelsea winger has been one of the most impressive players since the team commenced non-residential preparations towards the 2014 World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Zambia.
Asante who was handed a late call to replace injured Albert Adomah was one of three local players to get on the score sheet when the Black Stars beat third tier side Prampram United in a trial game on Wednesday.
He is already being touted as a sure bet to make the final cut for the games against Lesotho and Zambia on June 1 and June 9 respectively following his impressive performances.
But the two-time Burkina Faso Premier League Goal King says he is just taking the praises in his stride and is only looking to give off his best whenever called upon.
“I am very happy playing in the Black Stars team and the senior players and the coaches have been encouraging me a lot,” he told GHANAsoccernet.com.
“I am not swollen headed because this is just my maiden call and I only hope it is the beginning of bigger things.
“It depends on the coaches, if they think my performance is good enough I will make the cut but if not then there are other opportunities in future.”

I knew he had the quality. Some people where here insulting this boy when he claimed Burkina made him an offer to play for their national team.
yes i remember…
How old is he?
@Bra Kwame, I now remember this guy. You are right about that. People were criticizing him to play for the Burkina and some even said that, he is not a Black Star material. Now, those same people are praising him. Ghana for you.
We have so many uncut diamonds here. But our mental slavery will let us go for white man’s plastic. Untill we emancipate ourselves from mental slavery, we should forget about any silverware!!!!!! Egypt hardly uses any foreign stars, and this explains why their clubs are the all-time greats on the continent, no Ghanaian club can match up to the standard in North Africa, how much more Europe. If our players stay here, they will be great! What disturbs me is this guys will leave here and go amd warm benches outside Ghana. mental slavery is what is making a whole FA beg KP Boateng.
KT is easier said than done, they ghanaians who can invest in teams dont wanna do it but they sure do wanna see these boys play soccer on a daily basis, look at some of the facilities and what not, find out the salaries of the premier league and div 1 players and then you will come back with the mental slavery stuff……go and find out how much the egyptians invest in their league!! until we invest in the league buy paying better wages, developing better facilities for all teams, the exodus will continue… owners, management, agents, etc, all take advantage of theese poor players, and i bet some of them are not even paid, they prolly get food and shelter thats it, but they will shut up and do their job, dreaming that they will make it big one day, and not make it big in the ghana league but abroad somewhere, with better wages, and facilities, so that they can have a clear mind to play the game they love with all their heart, strength, etc….
Find out from gfa how many players are seeking their floating status cus their team refuse to pay their wages or some other issues like dat…it is very common, unless we see the game as a major investment so therefore more investment is needed, these players will do what they gotta do and get a better life and for their families and love ones. is only a handful of players who are getting OK wages playing in Ghana. One of my homies was playing for hassacas so i know what i’m talking bout…he had to get his floating status 2 years ago cus hassacas were not paying wages on time or at all…..50 new cedis a week or a month, i forgot what it was……look at that, who can live of that???? so y not take any chances of going abroad to play for a better wage and life!!!
