We didn’t show much desire against Congo- Gyan

September 3, 2017 9:06 PM

The skipper of the Black Stars believes the inability of the Black Stars to beat the Red Devils of Congo should be blamed on lack of desire on the part of the playing body.

Asamoah Gyan says the Black Stars fell short mentally and tactically when they faced off against Congo on Friday in Kumasi.

Ghana are in danger of not qualifying for the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 2002, after they were held to a 1-1 draw by their Congolese counterparts on Friday.

The Black Stars after the draw are rocked bottom of group E and Gyan has shared his thought on what went wrong for the team.

''It's difficult, honestly, it's very difficult. Things didn't go well as expected and we didn't play the way we expected to play like tactically and mentally. I don't know what went wrong but I will say the desire wasn't there today,'' Gyan said in a post-match interview as quoted by Ghanaweb.

''It's one of those days that things do not happen. Nobody is to be blamed but it's one of those days. I don't know what went wrong but I think it's one of those days.''

Ghana will play Congo in Brazzaville on Tuesday in the return leg clash.
