Asamoah first wore the number 10 jersey at the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations on home soil in the absence of then captain Stephen Appiah and it became his preferred number after Appiah announced his retirement from international football in 2010.
”I told them I didn’t want the number 10 shirt because at that moment I wasn’t the one who chose it,” Asamoah told Joy Sports.
”I had my favourite numbers already. I had number 20. I used that number because when I started my career in Europe, that was the number I used and that was the same number that made me who I am today.”
”When I went to Udinese, I chose number[20] and I started playing and people got to know me.”
”I fell in love with that jersey number so when I came to the national team, I opted for it.”
According to Asamoah, it was former Ghana captain Stephen Appiah who made him wear number 10 jersey for the first time in 2008.
