Inter's Asamoah: The tactical reasons I'm playing in midfield for Black Stars at the Afcon

Ghana international Kwadwo Asamoah says he will be mainly used in midfield at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) which starts on Friday.

The 30-year-old's possible playing role with the Black Stars at the June 21-July 19 championship in Egypt has become a major topic of discussion following his recent return to national duty after a four-year self-imposed sabbatical.

Asamoah, who made his breakthrough as a midfielder with Italian club Udinese and Ghana at the 2010 Africa Cup and Fifa World Cup, has played at left-back for most of the last six years.
