Herve Renard, a former assistant coach of the Black Stars in a recent interview says Asamoah Gyan could not rise to become one of the greatest footballers because of laziness.
Herve Renard without mincing words told host Juliet Bawuah on an Accra-based TV3 Network that the Black Stars skipper could have achieved more than what he has now in football.
He, however, admitted that Gyan was a very good goal scorer, a fantastic player, an amazing player.
“The quality of Asamoah Gyan was amazing. I was always impressed with his timing of headers. He was a very good goal scorer, a fantastic player, an 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 games. Simply 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.
Herve Renard was Ghana’s assistant coach at the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations tournament hosted in Ghana
