We want revenge. It\u2019s the Ghanaian motivation. I\u2019ve been in the game for a long time. People outside know what happened. The whole world knows what happened. When the draw was made and they saw Uruguay were in Ghana\u2019s group, the only thing that came to mind was revenge. It\u2019s a normal thing. Ghanaians want revenge,\u201d Gyan told BBC.<\/p>\n \u201cPersonally, I just sat back and I just smiled because I understand how the game goes. Things happen. What happened in 2010 is behind me but maybe there might be another opportunity. When the time comes and I\u2019m part of the team and we play against Uruguay, you might never know what is going to happen. We just have to be ourselves. Obviously, I\u2019m human. I have in the back of my mind that maybe if I get another chance, I can be able to prove myself.\u201d<\/p>\n Ghana face Uruguay in their last group match after meeting Portugal and South Korea.<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FLASHBACK: The sad face of Asamoah Gyan (L) after missing the penalty kick against Uruguay at the 2010 World Cup Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan says Ghanaians want revenge against Uruguay and Luis Suarez in Qatar.
