Ghana striker Derek Asamoah is counting on his performance in the friendly with Gabon to win him a place in the final 23-man squad for next year�s Africa Cup of Nations.
The Pohang Steelers� forward came off the bench to snatch a late win for the Black Stars against the Azingo Nationale in Paris on Tuesday and believes his immense contribution should earn him a permanent spot while quieten his critics.
�All I do is take one game at a time. Some people knew me, some did not so it was very important to show people what I am about in that little period in the second half and what I can bring in the tournament,� he told Citi FM.
�I have watched Ghana in previous tournament and I feel I will be an ideal player to make the team stronger.
�Personally I feel I have done well, I did what I can. It�s up to the coach to put together the squad but I think I have done well in the position where I can make an impact.�
Asmoah also insist playing in the South Korean top flight by no means affects the quality he brings to bear on the Ghana national team.
�The Korean league at the moment is the best team in the Asia and the team I am playing for is the most successful in the whole of Asia. It�s a very competitive league and will match a lot of European leagues.
�You only have to look at the Korea national team and you watched Ghana versus Korea and a lot of players play in the Korean league. You need to be very very mattered and very dedicated because Korean people work very very hard,� he added.
