Ghanaian international football star Asamoah Gyan has finally reacted after Andre Deye Ayew was made captain of the Black Stars by coach Kwesi Appiah.
Black Stars all-time leading goalscorer a few days ago rescinded his decision to retire from international football after a conversation with president Nana Akufo-Addo.
Asamoah Gyan had earlier that he was quitting the national team over head coach Kwasi Appiah’s decision to hand the captaincy of the Black Stars to another player, elevating him to the position of General captain.
Fast forward, Ghana’s incumbent president Akufo-Addo called a meeting with head coach Kwasi Appiah and other members of the technical team on Tuesday, May 22, 2019, to get an understanding of the circumstances that led to Gyan’s abrupt retirement.
Speaking of the whole retirement drama, the spokesperson of Asamoah Gyan, Mr Kweku Obeng in an interview on GBC’s Radio program ‘Behind the News’ said Gyan is happy with Ayew for his new role in the team.
“What I can promise Ghanaians is that Former Captain Asamoah Gyan is very happy and all he wants to say is that, he congratulates André Dede Ayew and Kwadwo Asamoah for taking this position and we are with them. In fact, they have been with us all these years when we were captaining the national team”, Mr Kweku Obeng said in the interview.
“We are pledging our massive support especially in this particular campaign and the objective is that we need to bring the trophy here and that is what we opt for”, Mr Kweku further assured.
Asamoah Gyan had been captain of the national team since 2012, leading the Black Stars to four major international tournaments including the World Cup.
