Former Ghana international Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has insisted that he did not suffer to play in the Italian Serie A due to the experienced he gained at the national level.
The 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup winner has spent most of their playing career in Italy featuring Udinese and Hellas Verona.
In an interview with GHOne TV, the U-20 World Cup winner admitted the Italian Serie A is extremely difficult but said he did not suffer to gain the needed experience to play due to the experienced he gained from compatriots like Asamoah Gyan, Sulley Muntari, Kwadwo Asamoah and Michael Essien at the national level.
“Italian Serie A is very tough but at the time I was leaving Ghana to Europe I was already playing for the Black Stars and playing with players like Sulley Muntari, Michael Essien, John Paintsil, Asamoah Gyan, and other experienced players, I think I was having the experience so I didn’t suffer a lot to gain the experience to play in the Serie A,” he said.
Agyemang Badu is currently unattached after parting ways with the Italian side Hellas Verona last year.
