Inter wing back Kwadwo Asamoah discussed his role in the Nerazzurri squad and his injury troubles in an interview in the Matchday Programme for Inter’s Serie A clash against Bologna today. His words were noted by Italian media outlet FcInterNews.
“A role that I like but also involves a lot of sacrifice. All of us on the team know exactly what to do. Antonio Conte always wants the best from all of us, but above all he prepares us at our best, in the game, but also in training.”
The 31-year-old Ghanaian, who hasn’t made a league appearance since December, then discussed his lack of playing time.
“I miss scoring goals, that yeah. I don’t think about it when I play because my goal is to help the team win games, but I can’t wait to find the joy of scoring. It would be a burst of energy and confidence.”
Asamoah has made 11 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 899 minutes. In that time, he has provided one assist, but has struggled to earn consistent minutes amidst a variety of injuries and a lack of trust placed in him by coach Antonio Conte.
The 31-year-old Ghanaian, who is contracted to the Nerazzurri until 2021, has missed 18 games so far this season due to knee injuries, which forced Conte to look for a replacement in January. Ashley Young joined from Manchester United and has quickly impressed in the role.
