Skipper of the Ghana Black Stars Asamoah Gyan has stated that he works with spiritual fortitude, admitting that he consults Mallams as well as Pastors when playing football matches.
Speaking to Radio and Television show host Deloris Frimpong Manso on her entertainment programme ‘The Delay Show’, Asamoah Gyan indicated that the public has demonized the use of ‘Mallams’ in sports. He added that football is a ‘spiritual work’.
He noted that 'Mallams' are just like pastors but in the Islamic religion and as such there was nothing wrong with consulting them to pray for an individual.
“You can’t just rise up and say you’re going to play football because it is a spiritual exercise. You will need spiritual fortitude before you get into play and it’s not just for football but every other work”, Gyan told Delay.
He admitted that he has a spiritual father who fortifies and prays for him before he sets off to play a football game. There have been continuous debates about whether or not African sportsmen use voodoo to ply their trade.

Did he say he consults Mallams? FO0OLISH JOURNALISM!! He just explained what it mean to be a mallam and a pastor.
Asamoah DIDN'T SAY he personally consults Mallams. Listen to the interview before jumping on the guy. Why are Ghanaians so pull him down minded? Aaaah!

Football is a devil's game if you people dont know.players have sold their souls just for fame.i am not surprised he is saying this.gyan deals with high ranking spirits.anytime gyan gets an issue,trust me he will shine the next minute.have u guys noticed that? Please dont let football get into you...those who kill themselves or do nasty things to themselves if their team loses a match should be mindful,if u die because of football u will burn in héll...stop making footballers and football your idol...a word to the wise is enough.thank you
Oh Ghana play with your tactics and strength and win cups and stop fortification and others. I will not follow fuutball anymore if the captain is just too small to be a leader.
the spiritual fortification always comes at a cost so no wonder you are always embroiled in one controversy or the other
