Former German international Gerald Asamoah has urged Ghanaians to forget about Kevin-Prince Boateng and continue to encourage other players with similar backgrounds to represent the country.

Asamoah played in the 2002 World Cup for Germany after he was ignored for the Black Stars having arrived for a game against Mozambique in 1998.


He says he has no doubt he would have represented Ghana now given the vast improvement in the administration of the game. AC Milan's Boateng chose to represent Ghana and Asamoah told TV3's TalkSports program that while he is a good player, there is no reason for Ghana to lose sleep over his international retirement.


"You have to forget about Kevin. He is a good player but not an easy player and with that I don't think would have been picked by Germany," the former Saint Pauli player said.

"He played very well for Ghana at the World Cup and I was happy to see him but now he doesn't want to play again.


“Ghana has a lot of quality young players so I think if Kevin doesn't want to play again no problem."
