Ghana winger, Solomon Asante, says he wants to leave a legacy at Phoenix Rising and the USL championship.
The former TP Mazembe midfielder achieved a milestone on Sunday with his 100th appearance for the club.
Asante captained Phoenix Rising in that 1-0 win over San Diego Loyal.
Speaking in an interview on Wamputu Sports with Joe Debrah, Asante revealed that he didn’t know he had played his 100th game until his coach told him in the dressing room.
“I didn’t know I had played 100 games until the coach told me it was a special game for me. So he told me to lead the team and win the game which was a bit of a surprise to me because we treat every game seriously”.
“It was a difficult game against San Diego. We were determined to win the game to stretch the lead on top of the table”.
“I wasn’t expecting anything so after the game, the coach told me he wanted to see me and the players. It was until when he told me that as a captain I had made my 100th appearance for the club”.
