With many tipping the Black Stars to excel in Qatar, Gyan who played in 2006, 2010, and 2014 global showpiece has implored Ghanaians to lower their expectations.
According to him, the current Black Stars team is in a building process and should not expect much from them.
“For me, my advice is to lower our expectations for now and then build the new team,” Gyan told Joy Sports.
“We know we are Ghana, and we have done it before, but maybe the players who are not involved are not ready enough, so we should give them time to make sure they get there.
“It is very difficult when you put pressure, so the fans have to be calm,” he added.
Ghana will open its campaign against Portugal before playing South Korea in their second group game.
The Black Stars will wrap up their group phase games against Uruguay.
