Asamoah, an instant idol at Juventus Stadium

(juventus.com)--Let there be no more talk about Juventus not buying a top player. We have signed one and his name is Kwadwo Asamoah. The Ghanaian midfielder has already established himself as a key member of Conte's new team. After his wonder goal in the Super Cup against Napoli he put in another fine performance against Parma, delivering a great ball for Lichtsteiner to open the scoring. Add in his gutsy presence in midfield and the occasional flash of flair and it's no surprise that he was named man of the match.

Tonight was his first appearance at Juventus Stadium (he didn't feature when Udinese visited Turin last term). Just 90 minutes and he's already an idol for the Bianconeri faithful.

"I'm not the only one out there, we play as a team. We all help each other on the field and that makes everything so much easier. I'm pleased with this win. The first match is always important and we've got off to a good start with these three points. Our passing wasn't so slick in the first half but we played really well after the interval. Conte has spent a lot of time explaining things to me since I arrived. He's encouraged me to try and go past my man more in training and he wants me to do the same in matches."
