Ghanaian International footballer and Al Ain striker Asamoah �Baby Jet� Gyan has finally broken his silence on his indefinite break from the Black Stars. According to him Psychological reasons made him take a break from the national team and not anger or criticisms as being speculated widely. �My confidence level for the Black Stars dropped drastically, something I�ve never experienced in my career after the World Cup and Nations Cup tournament in Gabon-Equatorial Guinea�, he stated. He told Kwami Sefa-Kayi on Peace Fm�s �kokrokoo� programme that his absence was indefinite and could return to the national team at any time. �I was misquoted about me quitting the Black Stars�. Asamoah Gyan shot to prominence after scoring three goals at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, and also missing a crucial penalty kick in the last minute of extra-time in Ghana's quarter-final defeat to Uruguay. On 10 September 2011, it was confirmed on the Sunderland website that Gyan would leave on a season long loan to club Al Ain FC. Amidst speculation of a fee of up to �6m being paid for the loan period, with Gyan receiving up to four times his previous salary, Chairman Niall Quinn emphasized the financial benefits of the deal for both Sunderland and the player. He also did claim that he left Sunderland for money, quoting that the offer he received was "too good to refuse". The Ghanaian finished the season with Al Ain by helping them capture their tenth league title as well as being the top goal scorer in the season with twenty two (22) league goals. He told Peace Fm that the standard of football in Arab is not that bad as compared to the English Premiership where he used to play. He added that the only difference is about the spectators who watch the game at the stadia. �I Have finished with my loan deal at Al Ain and I think I�m interested in their offer. I like the place and my family are also in love with the place." I would love to stay there�, he told Peace Fm.
