The Inter Milan defender, Kwodwo Asamoah has been advised by former Heart of Midlothian midfielder, Laryea Kingston to make a potential move by returning to Ghana Premier League because he will make a good addition towards it.
Kingston earlier advised his ex-mate to leave inter Milan and come home to play with GPL. Because he thinks it won’t be a problem if he gets an understanding coach.
“Coming home to play in the Ghana Premier League is not going to be a problem at all. But first of all, he would need a coach that will understand him because of his European mentality and all that.”
“Some of us, we tried it and it did not work because of the mentality and all the experiences we acquired throughout our career in Europe because European clubs or coaches see things differently than how African or Ghanaian coaches see things, ” he added.
According to Laryea, people will be very happy seeing him and watching him play. ”So when he comes down, I think it will be the best for all [judging by] the experiences that he’s acquired in his career and he can also boost the league. People will be happy to see him or go to the stadium or watch him play.
Kingston, who was a teammate with Asamoah at the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), explained to Goal by sharing his thoughts on Kwodwo Asamoah’s return. “Why not [he could consider returning to the GPL]? It’s always good to come home for people to have a feel of you because he has achieved everything – whatever he wanted to achieve in Europe.”
Kingston urged all Ghanaians playing outside the country, especially Europe to come back and play in the league.
“I urge all Ghanaian players playing in Europe to come back here and play in the league at the end of their careers so that the league will be very nice. That will also motivate some of the up-and-coming players. But the most important thing is that they need coaches that will understand them like how European coaches understand players.”
In a season blighted by injuries and consequently a loss of form, Asamoah made only eight appearances for Inter in the 2019-20 Serie A campaign, the last of his outings coming in a 0-0 draw with AS Roma last December.
In 2018, the ex-Udinese star joined Inter from Juventus, with whom he spent six years and won six league titles, four Coppa Italia winner’s medals and three Italian Super Cup golds.
