The former Juventus star has made clear why he stopped wearing the No. 10 jersey at Ghana national team camp.
The 33-year-old used to wear the No.20 but he was handed the No.10 jersey based on the recommendation of former captain Stephen Appiah.
However, the former Juventus midfielder reverted to the No.20 after briefly wearing the No.10. The decision sparked rumours and speculations about a spiritual attack forcing him to abandon the No.10.
After retiring from international football, Asamoah has explained the situation.
“You know I have been hearing this story for a very long time. I don’t know the kind of person who brought out this story because I never had any conversation with anyone that I’ve been having dreams of someone chasing about the jersey. I don’t know where that story came out from.
“I’m making it clear I never had any dreams like that. I just told them that I don’t want the jersey anymore. I want to change it back to my No. 20. So it wasn’t like someone was chasing me,” he said in an interview aired by Kumasi-based Pure FM.
He made 74 appearances and scored 4 times for the Black Stars.
