A lot of sore losers seem to be emerging after the award of this year’s African Player of the Year.
Yaya Toure, who has won this award four times, has already cried his river, and it is now the turn of Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan.
The Shanghai SIPG striker is furious teammate Andre Ayew was snubbed for the award, which went to Borussia Dortmund’s Gabonese striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Using that opportunity to air his own grievances, he mentioned that the same has been done to him twice, and that he has lost all respect for the award.
Online sports portal Ghanasoccernet quotes the Ghana captain as saying….
“Aubameyang doesn’t deserve the African Footballer of the Year award. He is a very very good striker and has did well for his club last year. But he did very little at the Africa Cup of Nations.
“I think Andre Ayew did very well at the Africa Cup of Nations and he also excelled with his two clubs so it is very disastrous not to name such a person.
“This has happened to me twice – one in 2010 and 2014. I don’t value the award again.
“CAF should tell us that the award is meant for players playing big clubs in Europe. National team & AFCON don’t matter again.
“Even though CAF snubbed me in 2011 & 2014, I still believe that I’ve won two African Best. They’re killing African Football”
