Ghana striker Gyan confident over Malawi success

Ghana's finest striker Asamoah Gyan will be relied on to score goals against Malawi

By Patrick Akoto

Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan is confident the Black Stars will put Malawi to the sword when the two teams clash in the return fixture of the 2013 African Cup of Nations qualifier.

The in-form Al Ain attacker, who already has four goals to his name in the Etisalat Pro League, is expected to be the lead arrowman for the Ghanaians as they seek to grab their ticket to next year’s tournament in South Africa.

There are skeptics who fear The Flames could pose a major threat to the ambitions of the Black Stars, but the Ghanaian super star is positive they can surpass the challenge.

“They are strong side and will not be pushovers. But we want to qualify and the only way to do that is to try to win,” Gyan told GHANAsoccernet.com

“We saw them in the first leg and I don’t think they were a bad side.

“We want the pitch to do the talking and so let’s see how it goes. We respect each other, but we can only hope for the best.”

Ghana will rely on the striking instincts of the 26-year-old to kill off the game in Lilongwe on October 13.

Gyan will hope to continue his goal scoring form for Al Ain when they host Al Dhafrah on Friday.

He will then fly out to Kenya to join his colleagues prepare for the crucial encounter.

iS acCam the player who plays in egypt and has been scoring in buNCHES IN THE EGYPTIAN PRESEASON LEAGUE? THIS GUY IS A BETTER STRIKER THAN WARRIS.
AA ALUGUNTUGUI SHOULD CALL ACCAM, CLOTTEY, GYAN, B.YIADOM TO PLAY AS STRIKERS. USE DEDE AYEW/KWADWO ASAMOAH AS ATTACKING MIDFIELDERS.. INFACT,KWADWO ASAMOAH DEY BORE ME WAAA, SO HE SHOULD BE RELEGATED TO THE BENCH.

NO MORE PENALTY KICKS FOR GYAN!
NO MORE SPOT KICKS FOR THIS GYAN EXCEPT IN A SHOOTOUT SITUATION, YOU KNOW AFTER EXTRA TIME ETC. LET SOMED=BODY ELSE TAKE IT, NOT GYAN.
GYAN SHOULD ONLY BE ALLOWED TO KICK PENALTIES AFTER 90MINUTES PLUS SUDDEN DEATH, NOT DURING THE COURSE OF PLAY. JESUS CHRIST, LOOK AT HIS AWFUL
RECORD… In WC 2006 against Czech, he missed a penalty. In 2010, he missed a penalty. In a friEndly against S. Korea before AFCON 2012, he
missed and the recent one against Zambia. so he shd take a break on penalty kicks.
THE GUY IS CRYING FOR HELP, AND WE KEEP ALLOWING HIM TO HANG HIMSELF…LOL
EVEN IF HE GETS FOULED A MILLION TIMES IN THE BOX, DONT ALLOW HIM TO TAKE THE PENALTY KICK…
GFA U ARE FOOLS! THIS KURASINI GYAN THROWS SOME PAPER MONEY, MAN MADE PAPER MONEY AT YOU N U GIVE HIM THE ARMBAND. U THINK U CAN BUY ROYALTY?
GYAN WILL CONTINUE TO SUCK AS A PLAYER N GH CAPTAIN. U WILL SEE. I MEAN HOW CAN U ALLOW A SAUDI PLAYER TO CAPTAIN GH? IT SHOULDNT BE ABOUT HOW
LONG U HAVE PLAYED FOR GH OR SENIORITY BUT UR DEDICATION TO THE GBSTARS. IF THAT WAS THE CASE THEN ROYALS WILL ALL BE OLD PPL. OR PRESIDENTS
WILL ALL BE OLD PPL, BUT IS DAT THE CASE?…NO!

Gyan should score at every opportunity even half-chances. Astu, Wakaso, Dede and Kwadwo could give Gyan and Warris more assists.
Ghana should win comfortably if we play as a team. I expect a goal from Wakaso though.

RANDOLF, WHEN WILL U REALISE THAN WARRIS PLAYS IN A SOFT SWEDISH LEAGUE? HE IS NOT GBSTAR MATERIAL, IM SORRY. ACCAM OF PETROJET, EGYPT….BOAKYE YIADOM ARE BETTER STRIKERS THAN WARRIS.

  Warris will surprise you. He is going to be one of our best strikers in the near future. Perfect dribbler, speedy, gives a lot of assists, scores with both feet and very intelligent player. Do you know how many clubs looking for his signature? You just wait and see.
  He is currently the African leading goal scorer in the whole of Europe. Do some research on that.

All the blah blah will take us nowhere. Blackstars midfield is wonderful what we need is to build a wonderful attack to go with the midfield. we lost Ballotelli, we lost Welbeck. PLEASE GFA AT LEAST TALK TO MEMPHIS DEPAYYYY LETS SEE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY! THE CHAP GOT STRENGTH, SKILL, INTELIGENCE, VISION AND PACE TO COMPLEMENT JO AYEW.

Gyan and Waris will be the answer against Malawi. Waris is one of the best strikers Ghana has produced through its soccer academy system. I am just praying that the technical staff show confidence and start him against Malawi. I am so glad the coach picked him ahead of Jordan Ayew.

The Swedish league is not flamboyant but it is one of the best in Europe. Sweden almost always qualifies for the World Cup in Europe. It has produced some of the best footballers in Europe.

Waris has pace, he is an excellent dribbler but he does not waste his motions, every move he makes is with focus and geared towards scoring goals. When Coach Appiah snobbed him during AFCON 2012 he got the Coach’s attention by scoring 5 goals for his club. His conversion rate is excellent and Ghana needs him more than ever.

Thank you Coach you made a brave move and now you just have to play the Waris. Show him the same confidence you showed Jordan. Give him the equal amount of minutes you gave Jordan and he will not disappoint.
