Former Ghana international Alfred Duncan has shed light on his decision to step away from the Black Stars, citing a lack of respect and recognition during his time with the national team.
Speaking in an interview with SportyFM, the 32-year-old Venezia midfielder explained that he felt undervalued and believed it was best to make way for younger players deemed more suitable for the squad.
With the national team, it’s kind of complicated… because I wasn’t getting the respect I think I deserved. Duncan revealed. “It was best to part ways in order for the younger ones or the ones they think were right for the team to get the chance to play.”
Duncan has spent most of his career in Italy, featuring for clubs such as Inter Milan, Sassuolo, Fiorentina, and, most recently, Venezia. Despite his early exit from international football, he remains one of Ghana’s most accomplished midfielders in European football.
