Legon Cities head coach, Bashir Hayford, has stated that Asamoah Gyan motivates that team a lot and they listen to him.
Gyan has struggled with injuries since his move to the Royals. However, the former Black Stars captain made a return against Dreams FC last weekend.
“Gyan is gradually coming back and honestly, he was off for one year because during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic he was not playing which has made him slow," Hayford said after the game.
“But you know with Gyan everything about technique and tactics is still there, it is just a matter of getting him fit and we are working on that. We’re managing him for now and he also plays a crucial role in inspiring the boys because he has seen it all and some of the players want to emulate him.
“The players do take instructions from him and you don’t have to joke with a player like that because of his vast experience in football,’’ he noted.
