Afcon 2019: I played in an 'uncomfortable' position against Cameroon - Kwadwo Asamoah

Ghana deputy captain Kwadwo Asamoah has shed light on his nondescript performance in Saturday's clash with Cameroon at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Egypt, stating he was played out of position.

The Inter Milan utility man was among the most heavily criticised players as the Black Stars were held to a 0-0 draw by the Indomitable Lions at the Ismailia Stadium.

It was his first game at the tournament following his bench role in a 2-2 stalemate with Benin in the group opener.

“It wasn’t the best game for me because I know what I can do when I play my normal position," Asamoah, who had his breakthrough as a central midfielder but has recently been deployed on the left side of defence at club level, told reporters after the match.
