Benjamin Asare: I don't worry about people's opinion

Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare has insisted that he remains focused on improving his game and refuses to be distracted by public opinion as he continues to establish himself as Ghana's first-choice shot-stopper.

The Black Stars goalkeeper made the remarks during an exclusive interview with 3Sports, where he reflected on his rapid rise in the national team setup and the mentality that has helped him succeed.

Asare, who earned his debut for Ghana in 2025, has quickly become one of the most trusted goalkeepers in the squad through a series of composed performances. Despite facing scrutiny from sections of supporters, the 33-year-old insists criticism does not affect his confidence.

"So I don't worry about people's opinion. I know we can make mistakes in life, but I don't let that burden me," Asare said. "Today, I can mistake, but tomorrow I can achieve something great. So, I don't let some things worry me that much. My encouragement is that God helps me maintain the level that I am now."

The goalkeeper also addressed perceptions surrounding his emergence with the national team, explaining that his journey has been built on hard work and consistency over the years.

"I'm a committed goalkeeper. Those who don't know me will think I came from nowhere to the Black Stars," he added.

Asare further stressed that selection decisions ultimately rest with the coaching staff. "Player appointment and goalkeeper selection is all the work of the coach," he stated.

The experienced goalkeeper is currently part of Ghana's squad preparing for the upcoming international friendly against Mexico on May 22. He was called up to replace Dreams FC shot-stopper Gidios Aseako.
