Inter Milan legend Beppe Bergomi lavishes praises on Kwadwo Asamoah after his all action display against Chelsea

Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah has earned plaudits from Inter Milan legend Guissepe Bergomi following his impressive performance for the side in their loss against Chelsea in the International Champions Cup on Saturday.

The 29-year-old joined the Nerazurri on a free transfer from Juventus this month, having spent most of his time in Turin playing at left-back or left wing-back.

On Saturday against Chelsea he played in midfield, and impressed the former Nerazzurro with his performance.

Speaking after the match, Bergomi says he was surprised by the Ghanaian input in the middle of the park.

“He has great personality and individual technique,” Bergomi said on Sky.

“He knows how to protect the ball too and the play starts with him. He was a surprise even for me, in a role he hasn’t played for some time now.”

He is expected to keep his place in midfield when they engage French giants Olympique Lyon in a friendly encounter on Saturday.
