Asamoah Gyan has candidly admitted to a long-standing misunderstanding with former Ghana teammate Prince Tagoe, revealing that they “did not see eye to eye” for years due to external influences.
Speaking during an Instagram Live session on Thursday, the former Black Stars captain explained the origins of their rift, attributing it to misinformation. “Prince Tagoe was brainwashed. People said bad things about me to him. I didn’t see eye to eye with him,” Gyan confessed.
Their tension came to public attention in 2018 when Tagoe openly criticized Gyan’s captaincy following Stephen Appiah’s tenure. Gyan responded by accusing Tagoe of using his name to garner attention.
Despite their troubled past, Gyan expressed admiration for Tagoe’s character and shared that their relationship has significantly improved. “He has a good heart, and he’s a good person.
I now have a great relationship with him,” Gyan said, adding that a recent phone conversation had strengthened their bond. Demonstrating his support, Gyan attended the funeral of Tagoe’s mother, a gesture that further solidified their reconciliation.
The former teammates’ renewed friendship serves as a testament to the power of reconciliation and mutual respect in overcoming past misunderstandings.
