Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan, has hit out at critics saying his footballing career is not heading to an end after signing for Al-Ahli Dubai in the UAE.<\/p>\n
He joined the team on Wednesday on a season-long loan from Shanghai SIPG in the Chinese Super League.<\/p>\n
Gyan was close to joining Reading but the deal collapsed at the last minute and some have seen his decision to go back to the UAE as a step downwards and it is the sign of a career that is about to end. The player, however, disagrees.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor about 6 or so months, I have not been very fit but I always say that you cannot judge a player when he is not fit. When I am 100 percent fit and I am not performing, that is when you can judge me,\u201d said Gyan in an interview with Citi Sports shortly after arriving from signing for Al-Ahli Dubai.<\/p>\n
If I am injured and anyone wants to celebrate, wait for a hundred years because I am not done. People can do what they like but I always find a way to win. That is what it is and I am not being arrogant.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI just want to be fit and then, we will see what happens next. I have confidence in myself and I know what I can do when I am fit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gyan admitted that he would have to do more in the UAE because of his previous exploits with Al-Ain in his first spell in the country. \u201cThe expectations will be high because of what I did four years ago.<\/p>\n
It is a big challenge and so, I will make sure I do what I do best.\u201d He also revealed that he would not celebrate if he should score against Al-Ain in the league.<\/p>\n
Gyan\u2019s life as an Al-Ahli Dubai player begins on September 17 when the team plays at home against Emirates at the Al-Rashid Stadium.<\/p>\n
