Ghana’s all time top scorer Asamoah Gyan feels he wasn’t celebrated enough by the masses in Ghana despite his illustrious playing career with the senior national team.
The former Ghana captain says he had not been celebrated enough because there were lots of disrespect and he felt he was one of those guys who put Ghana on the map.
He became a global icon after his stellar display at the 2010 FIFA World Cup tournament in South Africa when he carried Ghana to the quarter-final of the competition.
“Before, I’d say I had not been celebrated enough, because there were lots of disrespect and I feel like I am one of those guys who put Ghana on the map, the masses can confirm that but seeing what went on in Parliament, I am now beginning to understand, I’m beginning to feel appreciated by Ghanaians,” Gyan said, as quoted by Myjoyonline.
“I don’t really care about what people say but Parliament has confirmed and I’m sure the masses also know in their heart that I should be celebrated. I always say the numbers don’t lie.”
Gyan is Ghana’s all time top scorer with 51 goals in 109 appearances at the senior level including six goals at the FIFA World Cup.
