The top African scorer in World Cup history had previously written to the technical team of the senior national team, the Black Stars, to be excluded from the tentative list of players selected to represent Ghana at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations Tournament. He had chosen to retire after being removed from his position as captain of the Black Stars team.

However, a phone call from the president, according to the player, led him to cancel his decision to leave international football. He stated that his eternal love for Ghana and the call of the President of the Republic were the main reasons he had canceled his decision.

However, coach Opeele supports Gyan to help the team succeed at the next tournament, saying the player's commitment to the national cause can not be underestimated.

"Asamoah made himself available, he spoke to Kwesi Appiah and everything was set up. I know that he is a humble person. If he does, he will talk calmly with the other players. Asamoah is not arrogant, "he said in an interview with ABC News Ghana.

Opeele went one step further by congratulating the Black Stars coach for his team selection, saying it was exactly what the country needed to stand out at the AFCON 2019 tournament.

"Kwesi Appiah did well to choose Heart of Oak's Ghanaian football defense commissioner, Mohammed Alhbadan, and Kotoko goalkeeper Felix Annan, which will at least encourage local supporters to provide additional support to the team. team to win the cup, "he said.
