Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has gone viral after a video showed him passionately coaching a group of players during a match.
In the video, the Black Stars’ all-time leading scorer encouraged his players to think quickly and make better decisions instead of depending on instructions from the bench.
“If you see your teammate is going for the ball, open up for an option to pass. Sometimes use your brain; it’s not everything that we have to show you,” Gyan told the players.
The 40-year-old also urged the players to identify and make use of open spaces on the pitch, saying smart movement can make a big difference.
“If you see you can exploit a space, you move. If the two of you have a good game, we will win,” he added.
Gyan also called for better build-up play from the back. He asked his team to keep moving and play accurate passes through the opposition’s defensive lines.
“Let’s start the build-up like exactly how you’re moving. I want to see the passes in between the lines,” he instructed.
