Ghanaians who defend me on social media are all hypocrites – Asamoah Gyan [Asempa FM]

Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has descended on Ghanaian fans who defend him on social media, insisting they are all hypocrites who know the right thing but ‘would not do it’.

The former Sunderland and Stade Rennes captain, who turns 37 in November, has gone hard on some Ghanaians for disrespecting him despite his mammoth achievements with the West African powerhouse.

Gyan has been embittered by recent criticisms directed at him after he confirmed his interest to play in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Speaking on a past misrepresented fact regarding him and Cristiano Ronaldo, Gyan says he saw those who were defending him on social media as hypocrites.

“I was on social media and I saw Cristiano Ronaldo score in 9 consecutive tournaments. He didn’t break my record but rather he equalled mine. Because I was the only player who had scored in 9 consecutive tournaments. And, then when Ronaldo scored, they put him there that he was the one who had set that record. Then Ghanaians started attacking the one who posted it. My point is, why didn’t they say it for people to know?”

“In my own country, you see people disrespecting me and creating a lot of stories about me. Which I feel like it is not it. When I see people defending me on social media, I just sit down and say look at these hypocrites,” he said.

The former Sunderland and Stade Rennes forward is Ghana’s all-time top-scorer with 51 goals and the highest appearance maker although current captain Andre Ayew is closing in with just 2 caps left to equal his record.

Furthermore, Gyan scored Ghana’s first goal at the FIFA World Cup and is Africa’s leading scorer at the FIFA World Cup with 6 goals, spanning 3 tournaments – 2006, 2010, and 2014.
