Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan has explained why the team didn’t defend teammate Kevin-Prince Boateng when he was sacked from the camp at the 2014 World Cup.
Prince was dismissed from the camp after an altercation with the Coach together with Sulley Muntari before Ghana‘s final group game against Portugal.
Reacting to a tweet criticizing Gyan for not standing up for his teammate, he said the team had defended Prince behind his back, but the coach was angry because Prince had disrespected him several times and couldn’t take it anymore.
Asamoah Gyan wrote on Twitter, “Kevin’s case happened at the training grounds between him and the coach in front of everybody.
“So that was the coach’s decision because the coach felt Kevin disrespected him several times with his choice of words. One thing Kevin didn’t know is we defended him behind the scenes several times.
“But on that day, the coach couldn’t take it anymore and reacted. That was the first time I saw Kwesi Appiah get angry and reacted.
“So Kevin’s case was the coach’s call. That’s the truth as the captain of the team.”
