Striker Asamoah hits out at racist fans in Germany

BERLIN: Germany striker Gerald Asamoah, who faced racist chants from fans at a German Cup match in the eastern city of Rostock last month, said racist supporters had ruined the country’s image abroad. 

“Many people abroad associate Germany with racism,” the 27-year-old Schalke 04 and national player told Kicker soccer magazine. “The World Cup astounded the world that the Germans could be different. Even the people of Ghana were pleased.”
