Former Ghana captain, Asamoah Gyan has revealed enjoyed working under Claude Le Roy at the expense of other coaches during his spell with the senior national soccer team, the Black Stars.
The 38-year-old worked with the French tactician, who was the head coach of the Black Stars between 2006 to 2008.
Despite working his several top coaches, the all-time topscorer of the Black Stars says he felt comfortable working with Claude Le Roy.
“We played under many coaches but the coach I felt comfortable around, no disrespect to the others, was Claude Le Roy. He was very open to every player, you feel confident around him. He gave you that,” he told Angel TV.
“Everybody has their style of coaching but what I saw of him was different. Le Roy gives you all the confidence in the all world. He tells you player what you want to play and I am just the coach and will guide you with the tactics,” he added.
Although Gyan enjoyed his time with Le Roy, he admitted he could not repay the gaffer during CAN 2008, when he needed him the most.
“I started well with him, that’s from 2007 but the time that was important, which was CAN 2008, I was not myself. I risked myself to play because there were injuries and I even ended up at the hospital,” he said.
