I lament not taking penalty during 2015 AFCON last-Asamoah Gyan

 

Asamoah Gyan has uncovered that swearing off taking a punishment during the 2015 AFCON last against Ivory Coast remains his greatest lament as Black Stars chief.

 

Regardless of taking a two-objective lead during the punishment shootout, Ghana wasted the benefit as the Elephants won 9-8 on punishments.

 

 

At that point, Gyan had pardoned himself from taking more time for the public group following his expensive misses against Uruguay in the 2010 World Cup and Zambia in the 2012 AFCON.

 

To this end, when the 2015 AFCON last extended into additional time, Gyan requested to be subbed before the following punishment shootout.

 

"As skipper, I'll say it was in 2015 [AFCON] when I requested to be subbed against Ivory Coast in the last," he said on Peace FM.

 

"I feel like in the event that I was not subbed, I might have helped in the punishment shootout. Yet, because of certain things that were going on, I believed I expected to allow the opportunity to another player.

 

"This was on the grounds that I had pardoned myself from taking punishments. Be that as it may, there were a ton of things going on which prompted me requesting to be subbed. So I say that was probably my greatest lament as a skipper."

 

Gyan hasn't played for the Black Stars since the 2019 AFCON, albeit the striker demands he isn't yet resigned from football.
