When Gyan missed the penalty and we went to the shootout, he came up to me and asked, 'Stephen, can you take the first penalty?'

I told him, 'No, I wonโ€™t take it. Stay confident. I know youโ€™ll score, so go and take it.'

But after that, people twisted it and said I was warning him.

At that point, with all that pressure, he was really low. That wasnโ€™t the time for me to warn him.

I would never do that."

Stephen Appiah speaking on that famous moment with Asamoah Gyan after Ghanaโ€™s 2010 World Cup quarterfinal against Uruguay.
