Asamoah Gyan is Sad
Wouldn’t you be if thousands of home fans booed you?
The Ghanaian striker found himself the recipient of a cacophony of boos when he was substituted during the second half of Ghana’s match with Namibia. The reason? Bungling several clear cut scoring opportunities against a team that should have given Ghana little trouble.
After one particularly glaring miss, Gyan was so embarrassed that he pulled his shirt over his head to hide his face. Claude LeRoy, partially frustrated and partially sympathetic, replaced him shortly afterwards. At least LeRoy gave him a dreaded vote of confidence.
Says Gyan:
”I’m very sad because Ghanaians know what I can do on the field.The downfall of a man is not the end of his life…I have played 22 games for my country and scored 15 goals at my age. So if thing are not going well, I expect encouragement from the fans, not criticism…I am working on my play and I will find my rhythm. If things go well it will be better for the team and Ghanaians as well.”
Well, if Gyan could spend less time airing his grievances on various radio shows and more time practicing his shooting skills, the fans would be a lot happier with him.
