adminGhana captain Asamoah Gyan has assured fans there will be no bonus rows as happened during the World Cup.
His assurance comes days after the president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) revealed the playing body has approved $5,000 bonus package for the players of the Black Stars.
There were earlier reports that the players were dissatisfied with the amount but Gyan has dismissed all those claims and assured fans they are ready to die for the nation.
“We’re happy everything has been resolved. We’re not thinking about any money issues now. What we’re thinking about is the African Cup of Nations,” he said.
Ghana’s participation in the 2014 World Cup tournament in Brazil was fraught with near-player revolt due to the non-payment of bonuses due to the players.
This forced the government to airlift about $4 million to the Black Stars to ensure their continuous participation in the tournament.
There were misunderstandings between the players and some officials of the GFA which resulted in the suspension of two players.
Many football fans in Ghana and across the globe were disappointed by the happenings at the World Cup, a situation which caused the team the needed support during their Nations Cup qualifications at home.
Nonetheless, the Black Stars captain says the players are ready to prove to Ghanaians and the world that “it is not about the money. We’re just here to die for the nation because we’re Ghanaians.”
He said the players are determined not to allow money issues to interfere with their work, “we’re just playing with our hearts and then make sure we die for the nation.”
Asamoah Gyan was certain that the players “are happy with the money issues and everything has been resolved.”- Supersport.
