Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah has expressed his desire to play in a more advanced position for the Black Stars.<\/p>\n
The Juventus player who has been used mainly at left wing-back for the Italian champions started at left-back in Ghana\u2019s World Cup defeat to USA on Monday.<\/p>\n
Despite an impressive game which saw him create three chances and complete 91% of his passes, Asamoah maintains that he would prefer to play higher up the field.<\/p>\n
The player told Ghanaian radio station Happy FM: \u201cI am a player who likes to take on opponents, playing at the back makes it more difficult for me, I want to play up front.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asamoah has however maintained his readiness to play in any position he is assigned to.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll lies with the decision of the coach,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The Black Stars next face Germany on Saturday and then take on\u00a0 Cristiano Ronaldo\u2019s Portugal five days later.<\/p>\n
