Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan stated that coach Kwasi Appiah believed Kevin-Prince Boateng had disrespected him on numerous occasions before he was ultimately axed from the Black Stars camp during the 2014 World Cup.
The Ghana all-time top scorer opened up about the incident that occurred at the 2014 World Cup, which saw the coach dismiss Prince and Sulley from the camp before Ghana's final group game against Portugal.
Gyan made these remarks after Prince criticized them for not defending him when he was sacked by the coach for trying to stand up for his teammates.
In response to a tweet criticizing Gyan for not supporting his teammate, he explained that the team had supported Prince behind his back, but the coach was upset because Prince had shown disrespect towards him multiple times and he couldn’t tolerate it any longer.
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.”
