You were scoring soft and cheap penalties during your days with Ghana – Charles Taylor slams Asamoah Gyan
Hearts of Oak legend, Charles Taylor has taken a swipe at Asamoah Gyan for claiming Ghana’s penalty against South Africa was soft.
The Black Stars booked a place in the playoffs of the 2022 World Cup playoffs with a win over Bafana Bafana.
Gyan, expressing his opinion on the penalty incident in an interview with Asempa FM said the decision by the Senegalese referee Ndiaye Maguette to award the West African country a penalty was soft.
The ex-footballer turned pundit said on Angel TV that, the former Ghana captain should have considered his role with the senior national team before talking.
“If I were in Asamoah Gyan’s shoes, I’d not comment on this South Africa penalty saga. His comment was unfair to Ghana as a legend. He shouldn’t have made that comment knowing he is a former captain and a huge figure. Sometimes you don’t have to have an opinion on everything especially when you know your status,” Taylor said.
“Someone will also argue that he Gyan was awarded some soft penalties when he played. But he didn’t say they were soft so he will reject them. He scored and celebrated. Why didn’t he say he was honest and reject them then.”
The game is currently being reviewed by the Disciplinary Committee of football’s world governing body, FIFA.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Football Association is waiting on FIFA’s review as well as their opponents for the play-offs.
Ghana missed the 2018 World Cup in Russia and want to make a return by qualifying for the 2022 edition in Qatar.
