Fiorentina midfielder Alfred Duncan has opened up on his battle to establish himself at Black Stars and his fight to prove himself to all Ghanaians.
The 27-year-old has been criticised for below-par performances when on international duty as compared to his impressive performances at club level.
Duncan was deployed wide on his last appearance for the Black Stars, culminating in an underwhelming showing in a 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa in November last year.
"It’s something people have noticed from a distance," he told Citi TV.
"When you watch me in my club and see the kind of contribution I make, you’d notice there’s a difference.
"I’ve been made to understand that I must be able to adapt to any role required in order to help the team.
“But sometimes it’s very frustrating when you’re asked to play a role you’re not used to. You don’t get to enjoy the game in the way you want.
"I’m a player who loves to get a lot of touches on the ball, so it becomes problematic when I’m deployed in a role that doesn’t allow me to do that."
He was left on the bench as the Black Stars faced Sao Tome and Principe four days later due to underwhelming performance against South Africa.
He has made nine appearances and scored one goal for the Black Stars.
