Ghana striker Jordan Ayew ready for boo chants

Striker Jordan Ayew ready with brother Andre
By Ameenu Shardow
Ghana striker Jordan Ayew says he is not afraid of intense criticisms to come his way if he fails to deliver against Malawi on Saturday.
The Black Stars need a massive win over the Flames in the first leg of the ultimate 2013 Nations Cup qualifier at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The resounding win is needed to ensure Ghana’s trip to Blantyre for the second leg encounter next month is made a mere formality.
The appetite for a big win on Saturday could however put the team under intense pressure especially in Accra where the fans are perceived to be unfriendly to the Black Stars when the going gets tough.
Such a situation could lead to hasty play on the path of the Black Stars which could result in several missed opportunities in front of goal against Malawi – which will invariably ignite boo chants.
But striker Jordan Ayew says as a professional player, he should be able to come to terms when met with such hostility.
“In football there are ups and downs, so maybe on Saturday I will not have a good game but the team is going to win and for me that is more important,” he said.
“They can say anything they want to say but I know what I am capable of doing, this is football.
“Even Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi get insults every now and then so there is no problem about that at all.”

Why this unnecessary pressure on the players? Its time we psyche mental toughness in our players and build their confidence and stop these negative mentalities. Why do we expect fans to boo players instead of the opposite?
Gud talk my Boy! Wit dis in mind, u wld neva threaten to quit camp in the middle of a tournament, like samone did at Afcon 2008 or pompously retire just to b begged for a return- It is not PATRIOTISM!! There are some of ur colleagues who thinks they r too important to b criticised wit claims of them being the life-line to the BS. The game is all abt Opiniön n it is basic knwlege to every footballer dat CRITICISM, TOLERANCE n HARDWORK r the elements in achieving Success. David Beckam never threatened to quit wen he was Jeered 4 missing his famous penalty in Euros 2004. Neither did Lampard in 2004-06 , wen he was heavily critized for not replicating his form for the BLUES in the ‘Three-LION’ Jersey. Victoria Beckam has to rush off a shopping Mall to avoid fans frm embarassing her. Shevshenko children hav to vacate schooling to home-skul b’cos of his penalty miss against Liverpool in the Champions League FINAL. RUD Gullit, Ronaldinho n Mido hav to disguise’ emselves in security clothes just to escape the wrath of angry fans wen they were playing for Ac Milan, PSG n AJAX respectively. Ibramovic, Messi, Ronaldo n etc all suffers fans wrath. But i’ve neva heard em call their fans ‘UNGRATEFUL’ despite their achievements. Who cld still believe John Terry wld still b eager to play 4 england despite the villifications n treatments frm the English FA? Despite him being vindicated in d racial case, england fans still BOO him wen playing. They see it as a Big Honour to don a Nation Jersey. n as ZENEDIN ZIDAN once said… ” Fans develop rage for underforming, BUT one moment of brilliance is powerful enough to subdue the anger in em into an unbelievable amount of JOY. It amazing to see an angry fan who wants to attack u pre to a game due to a previous loss rush his way in xcitement just to hag u or seek ur authograph- In One moment, u r cursed.. N in d next moment, Blessed! They r like the chameleon! I love dis bcos it motivates me to play best- i alwayz want to win dier Hearts… Critics created me!”
