Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has advised the media to stop talking about issues that tend to create an unhealthy rivalry between Asamoah Gyan and Andre Ayew.

Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II believes there is no rivalry between Andre Ayew and Asamoah Gyan, so the media should stay away from reports of that nature.

The Black Stars ahead of their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations clash against Ethiopia in Kumasi on Sunday paid a courtesy call on Otumfuo Osei Tutu for his blessing.

He took advantage of the Black Stars visit to advise the players to be united and also urged to win massively.

I once read from one of the newspapers that there is a bad blood between Abedi Ayew (referring to Andre) and Asamoah Gyan, but from what I am seeing now they are enjoying a healthy relationship chatting and smiling together,” he said at the Manhyia Palace.

“The media should refrain from trying .to create tension between players of the Black Stars. However, I am advising you (the players) that no one should seek personal glory instead of the team glory. No one should have it in mind that he won’t pass to a colleague because the person would score and take the glory.

“In the end it is the team that would win and everybody would share in the glory of the team’s success.”
