Alfred Duncan feels wrongly used at the Black Stars

Ghana midfielder Alfred Duncan believes he is underutilized at the senior national team level.

The Black Stars midfielder has been widely criticized for being a shadow of himself when he dons the Ghana jersey, due to his impressive displays at his club side.

But the former Inter Milan academy graduate insists he is wrongly used anytime he shows up for national duty.

"It’s something people have noticed from a distance. When you watch me in my club and see the kind of contribution I make, you’d notice there’s a difference,” he told Citi TV.

"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 added.

Duncan moved from Sassuolo to Fiorentina during the winter transfer window and he is expected to play a key role for the club as the Serie A resumes next weekend.
