Asamoah plays down hype

The Udinese midfielder who impressed in his first full season in Serie A scored a wonderful solo goal on his first full start for Ghana and is being hailed by the Ghanaian media as a future star.   Radio talk shows were full of suggestions on Monday that he should be playing in the Black Stars on a more regular basis ahead of Muntari especially but Asamoah says it is too early for such talk.   “You have to give those players the due respect,” Asamoah told KickOffGhana.com. “They have done a lot for the country while I am just a young player trying to make my mark so it will all be about my hard work.”   Asamoah says he feels really proud to have opened his national team goal scoring account on his only his first international start and feels the win clears the path for another world cup appearance by the Black Stars   “This win has really opened a way for us,” he says. “This one has really given us a better chance of qualifying for the World Cup so we just have to work and train hard for Sudan and make sure we get a good result there too.”
