I'm the news - Asamoah Gyan reacts to backlash after his World Cup declaration

Asamoah Gyan has been trending since making that statement in his interview with the BBC which has divided opinions among Ghanaians on social media.

“The World Cup is every footballer’s dream. I think I’ve got a bit of energy left in me to prove myself once again. I’ve been out for almost two years now due to injuries but I just need to get my body back in shape. It’s an eight-week programme and according to my physical instructor, I’m improving faster than he thought," Asamoah Gyan said.

He has received some public backlash following his request for a last dance at the World Cup with the Black Stars with many stating that he shouldn't even dream about playing in the national team again.

Reacting to the negative feedbacks, Asamoah Gyan wrote on his Twitter page that he would continue making the news for his critics to talk.

"ONE MAN THOUSAND “I’m the news and go make u keep talking," the all-time top scorer of Africa at the FIFA World Cup tweeted.
