• While Asamoah described his teammates as 'cowards,' Muntari gave a very mature response when put on the spot

Former Black Stars midfielder Sulley Muntari has broken his silence following Asamoah Gyan’s controversial remarks about his national team colleagues.

Gyan, widely regarded as one of Ghana’s football icons, sparked debate during an Instagram Live session on January 2, where he voiced his frustrations, particularly in the aftermath of his 2010 World Cup penalty miss.

He went as far as branding his then-teammates as "cowards" for their reaction to the incident.

Instead of taking offence, he reaffirmed his admiration for the legendary forward, making it clear that there was no animosity between them.

The former Inter Milan and AC Milan midfielder went on to celebrate Ghana’s all-time top scorer, shedding light on the influential role he played within the squad.

"Asamoah Gyan was the light of the team when we were playing. When we had pressure going into games, he used to sing and dance a lot, which made us forget about the pressure.

"Maybe he is not happy with something, but I don’t think there was no support. I love Asamoah Gyan," Muntari told 3Sports.

Both players, who honed their craft at the now-defunct Dansoman Liberty Professionals, represented Ghana at the 2006, 2010, and 2014 World Cups.

While Gyan appeared in eight Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, Muntari represented the Black Stars in only two editions—2008 and 2012, according to Transfermarkt.
