Play Nigeria like wounded lions – Asamoah Gyan issues rallying call to Black Stars

Former Ghanaian captain, Asamoah Gyan has urged the Black Stars to go all out in their crucial World Cup playoff against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

The Black Stars all-time top scorer said the team has to come out and play like wounded lions in order to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar.

In a rallying tweet, Asamoah Gyan said the nation is fully behind the team and they should go on and make the nation proud.

Earlier in the week, Asamoah Gyan blasted the Ghana Football Association for excluding Anderlect midfielder Majeed Ashimeru from the squad.

The 36-year-old believes only Thomas Partey is better than Ashimeru and the latter should’ve been included in the squad.

Whiles regular names such as Thomas Partey, Mohammed Kudus and Daniel Kofi Kyere were in the squad, Ashimeru was conspicuously missing.

The Anderlecht midfielder has been one of Ghana’s most consistent players in Europe this season, contributing three goals and two assists for the Belgian giants.

However, the likes of Edmund Addo, Baba Iddrisu and debutant Elisha Owusu were preferred ahead of the former WAFA star.

Reacting to this, Gyan slammed the technical handlers of the Black Stars over Ashimeru’s omission, insisting he is only second to Partey.
