The Gelsenkirchen club are currently seventh in the Bundesliga, and Asamoah believes that his teammates need to give up their leniency to turn around their season.
"We are too nice to each other," Asamoah said.
"Nobody wants to cause each other pain. We need more a**eholes in the squad to wake us up, otherwise this season will go nowhere.
"Earlier we had an Ebbe Sand, a Jorg Boehme and even an Andy Moeller to kick our backsides. Before the 2005 Cup final against Bayern, Frank Rost kicked me in the shins to shake me up."
The former German international added that the current Schalke team has the right personnel to push the team forward.
"Marcelo Bordon and Fabian Ernst are the right ones to do it now. We must do everything our power to get into the Champions League and the Cup final."
