Former Zambia and Cote d’Ivoire coach, Herve Renard has revealed that Former Ghana Blackstars captain, Asamoah Gyan could have been a better player if he trained harder.
When Ghana hosted African cup in 2008, 51-year-old Herve was Ghana’s physical coach so he once worked with Gyan.
Herve RenardHe noted that all Asamoah Gyan cared about was playing matches and not too much about training.
“The quality of Asamoah Gyan was amazing. I was always impressed with his timing of headers,” the Saudi Arabia coach said in an interview with TV3.
“He was a very good goalscorer, fantastic player, amazing player.
“But I have something to tell him. He was supposed to have a better career, but he was lazy,” Renard said while laughing.
“In training, he was lazy. He only likes the games. But he was the most important player but I know him and he didn’t like the training, he only likes the competition, the games,” he concluded.
Gyan is Ghana’s all-time top scorer and has been to two AFCON finals in 2010 and 2015 and played at three world cups, becoming Africa’s highest goalscorer at the global competition with 6 goals.
