Why Ghanaians do not respect a fellow Ghanaian?
Asamoah is highly respected across the world. An excellent player and person.
This story was first written by supersport, sourced to Weekend Globe newspaper, but GSN will NEVER do the right thing by sourcing!
ORIGINAL STORY
Black Stars striker Richmond Boakye Yiadom believes Kwadwo Asamoah is one of the best – if not the best – player on the African continent at the moment. Kwadwo Asamoah has been in blistering form for his club side since he joined them from Udinese at the start of this season.
He made an instant impact at his new club Juventus following his move from Udinese, scoring on his debut against Napoli in the Supercoppa Italiana as they won that title.
“If we talk about the five best players in Africa now I will definitely say Kwadwo is the best and there is no doubt about the talent he possesses,” said the Sassuolo man, who scored a brace on Saturday, of the Juve hotshot.
Asamoah also showed his top-class status as he was among the players who excelled when they held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw in the Champions League last Wednesday. Yiadom, who played most of the pre season games with Asamoah before leaving on loan to Sasuolo described his fellow Ghanaian as the best player in Africa at the moment.
“I know him really well and I can tell you for a fact that he is a player who is very much committed to his football. Ghana is lucky to have a player like Kwadwo and the Black Stars will go places with him,” he told the Weekend Globe newspaper.
Kwadwo Asamoah is amongst a list of 34 short listed players for the African player of the year award.
