Asamoah Gyan, the all-time leading scorer for Ghana, has revealed that he worked hard behind closed doors in order to get called up to the national team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Gyan, who last represented the Black Stars at the 2019 AFCON, stated that he was determined to play for the Black Stars again at the World Cup in Qatar but was never successful in getting an invitation.
The 38-year-old admitted in an interview that he would have given his all for Ghana’s World Cup team in Qatar.
“That World Cup time, I was working behind the scene. I felt if I was invited I would have conceded it because I was training hard because I wanted to come back to the field. But it’s all part of life,” Gyan told Dan Kwaku Yeboah in an interview.
He added, “So far as I haven’t retired from football, I can still play.”
Although Gyan yearns to rock the green turf once again before hanging his boots, the striker stated, “now that I’m not playing regularly how do you expect me to play.”
Asamoah Gyan is Ghana’s all-time top scorer in the national team and also Africa’s top scorer at the World Cup.
