Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan presumably took a dig at Ghana’s sports minister on twitter just a few minutes before the social networking site blew up with news of the forward’s failed Reading medical.
Nii Lante Vanderpuye has been the subject of much controversy ever since he took over the role, and his recent indecipherable action involved witholding airfare for the foreign based Black Stars players, claiming that since the team had already qualified, their upcoming qualifier against Rwanda was needless, and government could put that money to better use.
That led to deputy skipper Andre Ayew offering to pay air fare for the players who cannot afford it, an effort the Ghana captain is reportedly also contributing to.
With numerous bonus controversies in the past that have called into question the commitment of these Black Stars, it seems the gesture is giving them the leverage to claim unbridled patriotism.
Gyan posted on twitter earlier, accompanied by a Ghana flag, that “Am proud of my Country, No one can stop me from serving my country.. Ghana made me who I am today…”
That also seems to indicate that the likes of Nii Lante cannot stop them from coming down to appear in games for the Stars.
Check tweet out below….oh, and in case you hadn’t heard, GYAN FAILED HIS READING MEDICALS…
