Asamoah Gyan urges Black Stars to step up against Madagascar

Former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan, has called on the team to give their maximum effort when they face Madagascar on Monday, March 24, 2025, at the Mimoun Al Arsi Stadium in Morocco.

Speaking ahead of the game, Asamoah Gyan who has played in high-stakes matches, while speaking to 3Sports, urged the Black Stars players to give their all and deliver a positive result.

“These kinds of games are a psychological thing. There are some games you don’t need a coach, although the coach will do his job. But sometimes, you have to take the responsibility. Your destiny is in your own hands; you can’t let somebody take something precious from you,” he said.

Gyan who is the national team’s all-time top scorer revealed the players understand the significance of the game and are sufficiently prepared for it.

“Psychologically, the players are ready; they know what’s at stake,” he added.

The Black Stars currently sit first in the standings with 12 points from five games, two above Madagascar, who are in second place.
