“Well I am devastated and shocked. You cannot win a game with this attitude,” Gyan said on SuperSport, as per Sportsbrief.

“I saw the real Ghana when we were one man down. They try to give everything which was good but it was enough. We didn’t have a sense of urgency throughout the tournament.

“I am a bit upset because why do you have to push when you have ten men on the pitch.”
