Asamoah Gyan wants to score against Malawi
Striker Asamoah Gyan says he is ready to spearhead Ghana’s attack against Malawi on Saturday.
Gyan-who will be playing his first match for the Black Stars since February-will boost Kwesi Appiah’s attacking options.
The Al Ain striker was absent when Ghana lost 1-0 to Zambia in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Ndola and his return will be a major boost.
“I appreciate that (pressure),” Gyan said. “It’s a teamwork, I work for the team, I make sure I do my job.”
The 25-year-old hopes his teammates will complement his efforts and ensure Malawi are severely beaten at the Accra Sports Stadium in the first leg.
“Football is played by 22 people and I have played for the Black Stars since 2003 and I have done my best for the team.
“If you can go through all these things then you are ready to play at anytime, in front of the crowds and everybody.”
The return leg encounter will be played in Lilongwe on 14 October

25 years my foot thats the problem with african players. you mean gyan is younger than Ronaldo hahahahahaha
Who said you’re going to play? We have Juventus, Porto and Marseille whizzkids waiting in line.
Malawi cn surprise Ghana.it beat Zambia,Ghana’s superior,last 2 months
Who is Zambia or Malawi? Check FIFA and Africa rankings.
With Ghana’s full squad, even Brazil will struggle to beat Ghana. You will understand my point on Saturday. Ghana didn’t play well in our two meetings with Zambia, but not the third time.
Malawi should be happy if they lose three zero, because Ghana is coming after them with a BIG stick on Saturday hot afternoon..
Just don’t forget to take the penalt when ghana is awarded one other wise you will not be a complete player. If you can not take sport kicks any more. Good luck.
@jaja,u have no choice cause he’s the first option!
hope he doesnt take any penalties. just an observation, in january this guy was 26 and in september he is 25. ghana is a strong side but dont underate the flames. you have so much talent but dont play names. i think essien needs more time to gain full fitness and ghana has the talent to replace him at the moment. good luck.
Ghana is not under-estimating Malawi, and would never, never under-estimate any African side AGAIN.
We start with Malawi on Saturday, all their big mouths will be stopped. Zambia should prepare for serious baptism of goals if they finally show up in Ghana. Sudan and Lesotho are our friends not enemies, because they never talk-down on Ghana. They respects us as do we do the same.
Gyan is 26
Ghanaians with their usual boasting,plz come to terms with the fact that ur nt as good as the 2006 squad.u couldn’t compare Appiah to Boateng.plz dnt underate malawi n ask the Nigerians.The malawians re poor travellers bt quite stubborn in front of their vociferous fans
We ll boast because we believed we have the pedigree against some windows like zambia,malawi,Lesotho etc… we ll continue to front our shoulders against these third class and second class teams because they aren’t Brazil,argentina etc but common malawi,common zambia,common Lesotho!!! We boast against them because we know we can them convincingly anytime we want to because when it comes to football we are 25 millions better than them and we have the pedigree,the committment and the talent to beat the likes of zambia,Lesotho ,malawi right from the under 17 to the senior level anyway that we want!!! Despite the fact that Zambia has beaten us twice on a row is nothing because Brazil can once or twice lose to the likes of Paraguay,Bolivia etc but consistency is the key here!! Now can Zambia maintains this consistency or just one of those flash in the pan miracles and i definitely know is just some occasional upsets in football and not any continuous trend period!!!! Every team has its bogey side and Zambia is shaping up to be ghanas Achilles heel and a bogey side but with our eyes now open,we ll definitely confines them to their rightful place and that’s mid-table section!!!!! Viva the revolution!!!
