Dede Andre Ayew with Asamoah Gyan cools off during Ghana team training at Kasarani-David Ndolo
Midfielder Andre Ayew has sent a congratulatory message to newly-appointed Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan.
Olympique Marseille talisman has been friends with Gyan since joining the Black Stars in 2008.
The duo are expected to play key roles for Ghana at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.
Ayew, 22, posted on his official Twitter account on Wednesday: ?”Congratulations to the new captain of black stars Ghana Asamoah Gyan.”
Gyan was confirmed substantive captain on Monday by head coach Kwesi Appiah who decided to elevate John Mensah as General captain.
Well done Dede. You yourself will be a great captain in the near future. Good luck to you.
GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP MATURITY AT IT BEST
Hwe na nim s3 ab3 wotw3 nkwan! Lol
Dede shd study leadership frm Gyan nd stop that unneccessary bust-up nowadays. Good luck to you Gyan we r all behind you nd the all the players. GO BLACK STARS!
where from this comment?
do you have any issues you are finding difficult to address?
quick to criticize yet slow to acknowledge thy neighbour’s achievements.
be a real patriot and not a brown-noser !
godfather, you are getting Paul wrong why must we always be like this. we all learn from our leaders, u can be a leader somewhere but when all are together u will realize that there are types of leadership so dnt misquote the person
Well Dede that is a start, congratulating Gyan, your new captain, now go ahead and finish the process. Hand over the #10 jersey to your captain. Stephen Appiah was captain and wore the #10 and Gyan is captain and should wear #10. Not every captain should wear #10 but Gyan deserves the #10 jersey.
You took the #10 from Kwadwo Asamoah prematurely and therefore you should hand it over to a more deserving player. I know you will hand it over and still support your senior brother Gyan whom you will continue to love and support. We need team unity within the Black Stars to remain successful!
you are indeed a coconut man… ha ha ha…. linking jersey number to captaincy? why didnt u advise john mensah to wear #10? why didnt u advise pascal feinduno to wear #10? why didnt u advise olele to wear #10. u r such an imbecile.
listen bro.asamoah gyan always wear the no.3 shirt so i believe he may not want the no.10 shirt ok
Way to go man..keep da team spirit alive.ur tym go com
Gyan being captain means the position has drawn nearer to Dede. Good gesture there and looking forward to your turn in the nearest future.
How can Dede Learn Gud leadership frm GYAN?- some of u amazes me.
What leadership quality das he posses dat isn’t in Dede?
I knw where u r coming frm… But ur hate for Dede can’t overshadow his awesomity. Hav u ever listened or watched both grant interviews? Do u notice the differences, interms of Maturity in their Answers?
Dede may b young but his maturity in brushing off hypes and also handling thought provoking Questions frm the media puts him miles ahead of ur Gyan.
Dede grew wit Critics and pressure… But can the same b said abt Gyan. In 2008 he packed his luggages out of the camp…n recently he temp-retired only to b beged-back wit the promise of appointing him as captain. Dede wld neva do that though he seems to have more enemies in the country dan Gyan. Talk abt Dede’s work Ethics on and off the field. He is a fighter who sacrifices nomata where he plays- u can neva doubt his commitment even wen injured. His Willingness to do more sometimes makes him get emotional… but u can neva doubt his passion & luv for the game.
It is common knwledge dat Messi & Ronaldo r the kimpins of their teams but have any1 heard em say their the Best? Never! Pple may say it but not their own Mouths. They always attribute every glory to their team mates and not emselves…. BUT it iz dis same Gyan who in interviews prior to the Gabon Afcon claim ”he is the Best Striker in Africa and the Gr8test ever in Gh”… Dat he is the spine of the team, the BS plays around him n can’t function widout him, the more reason he came to the Tourny though not 100% Fit.” Wen he scored dat freekick at the afcon he said ” they had a couple of freekicks but it was squandered by his mates so wen he had dat, he decided to stick to the show which he beautifully scored.. showing the type of striker he is” but Wen Dede scored dat winner against Tunishia , he said ”it’s not abt me but the collective Effort of his team mates”. Wen asked whether him wearing the captain band motivated him… He simple said ”it doesn’t matter”
Now Tell me who sld b the LEARNER!
@Delight. Honestly l like your comments. I followed with keen interest when Dede’s issue came up and l’ve also read every comment after he apologised, sometimes l wonder why some Ghanaians lack appreciation. I watched the maestro Abedi Pele throughout his playing days. Yes, like every human he made mistakes but trust me he gave 100 percent everytime he wore the national jersey. He has retired now his dear son Dede has adopted his father’s attributes. At his tender age he has captained Ghana to win Wafu, Africa U-20 and World U-20, something we could not achieve from time immemorial. At the 2010 World Cup, the boy was simply unstoppable not to talk about Angola. Why then are we so critical of this family? Guys, every house that is divided will not stand, so let us continue to live in the past.
Luv Andre Ayew or hate him,he,s still the same.The multi talented player i,ve ever known.Boy! the sky is ur limit ok.To hell with all his enemies.
