Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah

Ghanaian footballer Kwadwo Asamoah was not considered a special talent in his youth, but in the end he managed to break into the best club in Italy and stay there for a long time. However, we can not say that he is a gambler or star - but he does his job well. Kwadwo Asamoah still has two years of contract with Juventus, and it is not yet known what awaits him further, especially given the team's focus on great achievements. In the meantime, it is worth paying attention to how the career of this midfielder was built.

Carier start

Kwadwo Asamoah was born on December 9, 1988 in Ghana, where he spent all his childhood. He played football on an amateur level until he was seventeen when he was found by the scouts of the local club "Kaazerman", where he stayed for the next year. Then he moved to another gan club "Liberty Professionalism", with which he signed a professional contract. In 2007, scouts from Europe began to watch him, and the small Swiss club Bellinzona, as a result, in December offered him to move to a more serious championship. So Kwadwo Asamoah was in Europe, where already within a month showed serious abilities. Already in January 2008 he was leased to the Italian "Turin", where for half a year he proved himself quite well. In the summer of 2008, Asamoah was again leased, this time in Udinese.

The transition to "Udinese"

The lease agreement was designed for one year, and during this year Asamoah Kwadwo came on the field in 28 games, scoring two goals. The Italian club really liked the young Ghanaian, so it was decided to purchase it for one million euros of compensation. So Asamoah settled in Serie A, where he began to develop rather quickly and show a good game. For the four seasons he spent in Udinese, Kwadwo played 134 games, scoring eight goals. In 2012, the 24-year-old midfielder has already noticed many major clubs, but the most attractive, naturally, was the offer from Turin's Juventus. "Udinese" received for the player an impressive amount - 18 million euros, and Asamoah himself became a member of the strongest club in Italy.

Career in Juventus

Kwadwo Asamoah is a midfielder who can play both on the left flank and in the center, so his versatility was very useful to the "old lady". Already from the first season, the Ghanaian began to often appear at the heart of the club, having played 83 matches in two years, scoring 5 goals. However, over time, "Juventus" began to rise to a qualitatively new level, so Asamoah began to increasingly stay on the bench. Over the next two seasons, due to the presence of stronger players, and also due to frequent injuries, Kwadwo played only 23 games, not scoring a single goal. In the current season Asamoah appears on the field quite often - he has already played in five games, but has not distinguished himself by any effective action. At the moment, the player is injured again and is recovering without participating in the team's games.

National team appearances

In the national team of Ghana, Asamoah plays a very important role and is one of the leaders. He made his debut in the distant 2009 in the February friendly match against the Egyptian national team. In 2010, he was included in the application for the African Nations Cup, where he spent all five matches at the base, giving two assists. After that, he went with Ghana and the 2010 World Cup, where he again played all five matches in the base. At the African Cup in 2012, Kwadwo missed only the first match, and the other five took part, leaving the starting lineup every time. In the Cup of Africa in 2013, he was also a major player in all matches, as he was at the 2014 World Cup, where he mastered the new role of the left-back. The last match for the team Asamoah held in October 2014 against the Guinean national team in the qualifications for the Cup of African Nations.
