Afcon 2019: 'Hypocrites' didn't allow me to enjoy captaining Ghana - Gyan

Veteran Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan has stated he struck a good relationship with team-mate Andre Ayew during the recent Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Egypt.

This is despite controversially losing his captaincy to the Swansea City attacker just before the tournament. Gyan instead blames other forces in causing a rift between the players.

The West Africans hit a rough patch a month before the continental gathering as coach James Appiah decided to strip Gyan of the armband for Ayew, a decision which caused the 33-year-old to sensationally pull the plug on his international career.
