Hearts of Oak midfielder Laryea Kingson claims Black Stars striker Asamoah Gyan unlike other footballers cannot withstand pressure.
The 30-year-old believes the Al Ain ace was forced to stand down from the national team after failing to deal with the excessive criticisms.
Kingston told Sunyani-based Storm FM: �I don�t think it was ever his intention to quit the Black Stars in the first place but he was forced to do so realizing the pressure was too much for him.
�But these are some of the things that you must be able to deal with as a footballer.
�You have to get a strong mentality to be able to play football to the highest level because you don�t expect to take praises and avoid criticisms in that stance.�
Gyan, 26, issued a statement stating his decision to take an indefinite break from the Black Stars but has since hinted a comeback very soon.
