"In tournaments we don’t look for personal glory," Gyan told pressmen. "When it happens I will be happy but when the team wins I am happier. As captain I need to lead the team to wins, that is the most important thing. After that, if I am lucky to be on the score sheet, I will take it."

"People expect you to score as a striker and that is what I have done over the years. I am still young and I want to win the trophy. It is the reason why we are here," he added.
The Black Stars have to avoid a defeat on Wednesday to win Group D and stay in Port Gentil.
