Asamoah Gyan Breaks Silence: Why He Forgives Luis Suarez’s Infamous Handball Despite Personal Heartbreak
“Luis Suarez became a hero in Uruguay because he saved his team. Sometimes, people who don’t understand Suarez hate him for what he did, but looking back now, I don’t blame him for it. He just did what he had to do to save his country from being knocked out.”
“For a while, I was naive, I was thinking about what people were saying about me after my penalty miss, so I hated him for a bit, too. But I’m more mature now. Later, I sat down and understood he did the right thing for his country. He’s a great player who’s had a great career, and has achieved a lot of different things in football.
“Psychologically though, my penalty miss does still pain me. Sometimes, when I’m alone and I look back, I feel that I let Africa down, that I let my country down. After that quarter-final, people were disappointed and pained about my miss.
