Goal scoring is a learned skill, not luck or spiritual gift - Asamoah Gyan
Asamoah Gyan stressed that goal scoring is a craft that must be developed through consistent practice. He told Citi Sports, "Because goal scoring is an art. It's not about any pastor praying for you or going anywhere to do. No, no, no, no. It's an act."
Gyan, Ghana's all-time leading scorer and the highest-scoring African player in FIFA World Cup history, dismissed the belief that goal scoring depends on luck or spiritual intervention. He enjoyed a prolific career that yielded 228 senior goals. Gyan emphasized the need to nurture young strikers through structured training and repetition rather than relying on superstition. He added, "So we have to just groom the young ones, teach them how to score goals. That is how we came out with the act of goal scoring. You know, this is an act."
Gyan underscored that elite finishing is built through continuous practice, not external influences. He said, "Goal scoring is an act. Okay. It's not about anything. You have to just practice it."
