Ghana skipper Asamoah Gyan has claimed he is still one of the best penalty takers in the Black Stars team but will allow Andre Ayew to continue taking them.
The Al Ahli forward was fouled for the penalty which Andre Ayew eventually dispatched for the victory against the Cranes.
“I used to be the first choice for penalties but now there is someone taking it. I can say I am an expert penalty taker. I can take the penalty kicks when its gets to penalty shootouts in the game and I am on the pitch. In 2015 AFCON finals,”
“The coach changed me towards the end of the game but he is the coach and make the decisions. I didn’t asked to be changed , it was the coach that made the change.I heard people say I asked to be changed in order not to be part of the likely penalty shootous but that’s not true.” Asamoah Gyan told the Ghanaian media at the Hotel du Parc in Port-Gentil.
