Jordan Ayew insists he is not a troublemaker

Ghana and Marseille striker Jordan Ayew says that he does not see himself as a bad apple and points out that Mario Balotelli does far worse thing than him.

The son of legend Abedi Pele has promised to change his ways urging his critics to observe the changes in him henceforth.

The 21-year-old has been in the news for all the wrong reasons after Marseille assistant coach Frank Passi openly criticized him for an altercation with Paris Saint-Germain midfielder David Beckham last week.

But the third son of Ghana legend Abedi Pele has defended his reputation and insists he is not a mischief-maker like Mario Balotelli.

“My dad (Abedi Pele) is the first one to ask me not to stir things up,” he told L’Equipe.

“But he was a footballer, he knows what happens on the pitch.

“I think it’s a bit too much. In Paris, because it was Beckham, the affair took on impossible proportions. If it had been [PSG's Clement] Chantome or whoever else, it wouldn’t have been talked about.

“It p****s me off. People take the mickey. What do I honestly do? Not half of what Balotelli does, for example.

“In reality, I do nothing. Now, I’m going to shut up, you’ll see, to the end of the season.”

Ayew recently retired temporarily from the Ghanaian national team last week after he was dropped from the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

IF YOU’LL SHUT UP THE BETTER IT’LL BE 4 YOU

Jordan is gradually becoming unbecoming. Now he thinks Balloteli is worse off than he is. Either way, it tells you he knows he’s a trouble maker.

Jordan, you better focus on your game cos you haven’t achieved anything yet.AA has made a mistake for not selecting Dede but you shouldn’t complain anything cos there were some complete player like Waris and abeyie who were also dropped from the team.

look at this fool…..you are comparing yourself to Mario Balotelli? you don’t come near Super Mario in anyway or form so don’t you average striker Jordan Ayew even mention his name when dealing your own situation. Mario Balotelli has enough on his plate…he does not need yours!

Now instead of this silly boy accepting the advice in mind faith,he rather has bring an innocent person into his personal problems!!! This little boy thinks he is all that but he hasn’t win anything in football and he has the impudence to tell ghanaians that he has reigned from the national team!!!! Damn,if dede says he wants to resigned we ll bear with him because he is a real genius and achiever unlike his little bit who walks around the pitch with a surging pants and he does these things only at bs!!! I seen pictures of him in Marseille jerseys,he has tucked in with his pants all the way upwards!!! He needs to grow up and he should stop his nonsense of so call retiring because he is not all that important!!! Viva the revolutionciooooooooo!!! Is only in Ghana that this kwaseability ll be tolerated!!!!! Viva the revolutionciooooooo

Now people know why Jordan Ayew was dropped from the Blackstars.

Dede, do not allow the pain of your brother being left out of the Blackstars affect the love you have for the Blackstars. We need you. Please help your little brother to mature
