With Ghana ready to play rivals Uruguay in group H, Gyan hopes to avenge the devastating defeat suffered 12 years ago.
“The whole world knows what happened,” Gyan told the BBC.
“When the draw was made, and they saw Uruguay in Ghana’s group [in Qatar] the only thing that came into mind was revenge. Ghanaians want revenge. “Personally, I just sat back and smiled because I understand how the game goes. What happened in 2010 is behind me [but] maybe there might be another opportunity.” Asamoah Gyan remains Ghana’s all-time leading scorer and holds the record as the African with the most goals at the World Cup.
