Asamoah Gyan claims younger Black Stars players were 'brainwashed' to disrespect him

Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan revealed the challenges he faced leading the Black Stars, claiming certain individuals undermined his authority.

In an Instagram Live session, Gyan discussed how internal divisions affected his leadership, saying he was often isolated and that younger players were brainwashed to disrespect him.

He expressed frustration at being criticized for placing his image on the captain’s armband instead of celebrating his 50th goal.

Gyan, Ghana’s all-time top scorer with 51 goals, led the team from 2012 to 2019, a period marked by both success and internal friction. His comments shed light on ongoing issues within the national team.
