Ghana General Captain Asamoah Gyan says he never enjoyed his time as skipper of Ghana’s senior national team – Black Stars.
Gyan, was handed the Black Stars captaincy in 2013 replacing John Mensah.
The former Sunderland striker was however stripped off the captaincy and was elevated to General Captain after being replaced by Andre Ayew ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
The decision led him to the striker’s premature retirement from the National team but the intervention of President Nana Addo saw him rescind his words.
Gyan, who is Ghana’s leading all time top scorer with 51 goals insists he never enjoyed his position during his seven-year reign.
“I didn’t enjoy my captaincy. Partly, I will also blame the media for what happened,” he mentioned on Accra-based Asempa FM.
“Many captains have come and gone, and so why only me? I did not have my peace of mind during my seven-year reign.
“Too many agendas by some journalists accounted for a lot of the things that happened.
“People manufactured several stories against me simply because I was made the captain of the team.
“We are not honest. We say things and when they see you they pretend they don’t like you.”
