Ex – Ghanaian international football player Asamoah Gyan has made a poignant statement, expressing his feelings about how Ghanaians see him. In a recent interview, the former striker disclosed that he feels appreciated by Ghanaians only when the senior national team, the Black Stars are playing a match.
Gyan, who is Ghana’s all-time leading goal scorer with 51 goals in 109 appearances for the Black Stars, made it known that most of the time he is overlooked and doesn’t feel appreciated enough despite his contributions to the senior national team. He believes that his achievements and legacy are only celebrated when the Black Stars of Ghana are getting ready for a major tournament or playing a high-profile match.
The former striker, who has had a illustrious career playing for big clubs like Sunderland and Shanghai SIPG, feels that his contributions and commitment to the Black Stars are often forgotten. Gyan’s comments have started a debate among Ghanaians football enthusiasts, with some siding with his sentiments while others also disagree.
Gyan’s statement has also led to a wider conversation about how Ghana treats its football heroes. Some have called for greater recognition and appreciation for Ghana’s football legends, while others have argued that Gyan’s achievements should not be forgotten.
