Gyan, who recently retired, who was disappointed with the team like many other Ghanaians took to his Twitter page to criticise the playing body with promising stars like Fatawu Ishahaku and Nordsjaelland golden boy Ernest Nuamah.
”What I saw in this Black Meteors team is some players think they are bigger than the whole team. Small hype and fame? SHM,” the former Sunderland and Al Ain star man posted on his Twitter page.
”Modern football is not about only what you do with the ball. It’s about what you do without the ball. I see players thinking they can play alone. It’s about time we wake up and defend when we lose the ball. SMH,” he added.
