Kwadwo Asamoah [5] ( / k w ? ? d? o? æ s ? ? m o? . ?ː / , kw?- JOH ass-?- MOH -ah ; [ needs Twi IPA ] born 9 December 1988) [6] is a Ghanaian former professional footballer . [7] Mainly a left midfielder or left-back , he was also occasionally deployed as a central midfielder . [8] [9] Left-footed midfielder, very tactically flexible, his best qualities are dynamism and physical power; these, combined with good basic technique and excellent insertion times, make him a valid player in both phases of the game. Able to combine quality and quantity, he was born as a midfielder and then established himself as a left winger of a 5-piece midfield, during his time with Juventus, under the guidance of Antonio Conte ; his successor on the Juventus bench, Massimiliano Allegri , described him as "one of those horses who stay still for a long time, and as soon as they have the opportunity, they start again at full speed". Nonetheless, an early physical decline combined with a poor adaptability to the role of full-back in a 4-piece defence, heavily undermined his performance in the second part of his career. Widely considered as one of the best Ghanaian midfielders of all time.
