Ghanaian striker Felix Afena-Gyan has openly acknowledged that his recent season with Cremonese was particularly challenging for him.
After a successful debut season with AS Roma, where he won the Europa Conference League, Afena-Gyan secured a transfer to Cremonese.
The club reportedly invested 6 million euros in the promising attacker, but unfortunately, he struggled to make a significant impact, leaving fans disappointed.
During an interview with Sports Obama TV, Afena-Gyan honestly shared his evaluation of the difficulties he faced throughout the campaign.
“It was a very tough season for me because I couldn’t meet my target,” he admitted, his tone reflective.
“How I planned to fix it, I couldn’t get it that way so yeah, it was a very tough one. “Everyone has his goals for the season and mine was to be part of the top scorers in the team, to get some number of goals but unfortunately, it couldn’t happen that way so it was very tough for me”
Despite the hardships encountered, the 20-year-old striker views this season as a test of character and does not attribute his struggles solely to the transfer from AS Roma.
“Well, I wouldn’t say that (moving from Roma) though, but you know in life, things happen like this, so I guess it’s one of them.”
In the past season, Afena-Gyan made 28 appearances across various competitions and managed to score two goals. Unfortunately, his inconsistent form resulted in him missing out on a place in Ghana’s World Cup squad for the upcoming tournament in Qatar.
However, Afena-Gyan remains determined to learn from this challenging experience and bounce back stronger in the future. He recognizes the need to reflect on his performances, work on his weaknesses, and regain his confidence.
