A grateful Asamoah Gyan has heaped praises on his big brother Baffour Gyan as he describes him as his second God and guardian angel as well.
The pair have both enjoyed successful football careers where they had the opportunity to play for both Dansoman Liberty Professionals as well as the Black Stars of Ghana.
In an interview with Max TV last weekend, Asamoah Gyan has indicated that Baffour Gyan is his everything.
The former Sunderland goal poacher said, “We all serve the living God but I will say, he is my second god because he has done everything for me”.
Explaining further, Asamoah Gyan opened up on how Baffour Gyan advised him against repeating mistakes he did in the past that caused him opportunities with the national teams.
“The mistakes he made in life, he made sure I didn’t go through them. He is like a guardian angel till now.
“He went to Adisadel College and I wanted to follow his footsteps when I completed JHS and I had to choose Adisadel College, so I chose all the Cape Coast schools.
“Baffour said no. All my friends that were in Accra that I played with I saw them playing in the U-17 national team and I was at school, Gyan explained.
He added, “My brother [Baffour Gyan] should have been in that team at that time, so he advised me not to go that far, I should be in Accra, so that was how I chose Accra Academy. My grade was okay so they spoke to the headmaster and he said okay because obviously I was a football player. So, he was the one guiding me in all these things and it really worked”.
The two brothers up till now are very close with Baffour Gyan acting as a representative for his junior brother.
