Andre Ayew has apologize as required by the Ghana FA
By Ameenu Shardow
Sola Ayew has rubbished concerns the misconduct of his nephew, Andre, has heightened tensions in the Black Stars.
The Olympique Marseille player reportedly reacted rudely to being substituted in Ghana’s 1-0 win over Malawi in the 2013 Nations Cup qualifier.
The 22-year-old misconducted himself by demanding an explanation for his substitution and refused to shake hands with the rest of the technical team and players on his way to taking his seat on the bench in the October 13 win in Lilongwe.
This led to the issuance of a one-week apology ultimatum by the Ghana FA of which the 2009 U-20 World Cup winning captain has since satisfied.
But there are emerging concerns Ayew’s behaviour in the whole episode has increased tensions in the Black Stars team.
But the player’s uncle, Sola an ex Hearts of Oak player himself insists tensions are part and parcel of any football side of which the technical handlers must deal with.
“In every national team there is tension. It is so everywhere,” he told Accra-based Radio XYZ.
“That us why we no longer have coaches but managers.
“Former (Ghana) captain Kwasi Appiah is now a manager so he should be able to deal with that.
“Players are coming from Manchester United, coming from Juventus and they all feel like winners.
“So there will be tension but the manager should handle it.”
Andre Ayew’s apology has since been accepted in good faith by head coach Akwasi Appiah who warned any future act of indiscipline will not be tolerated.
The 2 times Ghana went to the world cup, there were no tensions in blacj stars.
But when Abedi was captain, there was tension, that was the reason why upon winning Africa best for 3 consecutive years, we couldn’t qualify. Because Abedi thought he can qualify Ghana all by himself, forgeting that winning is not by individuals ability, but team work and corporation and understanding.
Like father like son.
We thank god that dede have apologise and is good hear that the coach have accepted it in good faith, my advice to Andrea ayew is that he the capt of the future black star so he sholud keep away from such behaviour, as a leader you must appreciate anything your coach says becos , AA saw that if he do not take care the flames were going to hurt his key players that is why he did those changes and what matters most is that we won the match, please dede we love you and the entire black star team so let fight together as a team than individual stars,and Ghana will go places and win medals.
Ghanaians need to fucken grow up and open yall eyes… like I said this before, the whole staff need to go. First of all the players do not respect the staff or the coach… the coach had not accomplish anything what So ever for these players to either admire or respect or even listen to their advise.. these players are in tough leagues around the world representing top clubs with solid good staff… these players are around club staff that they respect and dream to become in the future… how is somebody going to coach players that play in eufa champs league if he himself had never played in that league it even went that far.. THE ONLY PERSON WHO I BELIEVE THE PLAYERS WILL LISTEN IS MARCEL DESAILY… HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED ALMOST EVERYTHING AND HAD PLAYED ON EVERY HIGH LEVEL THERE IS.. HE HAS WON EVERY CUP INCLUDING FIFA WORLD CUP, UEFA.., ITALIAN LEAGUE 1, AND HAD BEEN WELL RESPECTED IN THE FOOTBALL ORGANIZATION .. A VERY WELL KNOWN RESPECTED PERSON BY BOTH WORLD LEGENDS AND COACHES AROUND THE WORLD.. WHO THE FUCK IS KWESI APPEAR… NOBODY KNOWS HIM AND HE HADN’T ACCOMPLISHED SHIT BUT ONLY PLAYED FOR THE BLACK STARS THAT WON THE AFRICAN CUP OF NATION.. WHAT??? SERIOUSLY.. THE AFCON?.. COME ON NOW… SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE IF IS NOT CORRUPTION THAT IS DRIVEN THIS WHAT ELSE… IS CLEAR CHOICE BETWEEN TWO GHANAIANS WHO HAVE BOTH EXPERIENCE IN FOOTBALL .. ONE WON THE AFFINITY THE OTHER WON THE FIFA, UEFA, LEAGUE 1, PREMIER LEAGUE.. AND WON NUMEROUS OF METALS…. FUCKEN GHANAIANS MAKE ME SICK.. AND WHEN THE PLAYERS DON’T LISTEN TO THE COACHES, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND? THEY SEE THE SAME SAME I SEE… ANDRE AYEW WILL NEVER BE MAD AT MARVEL DESAILY, AND.KEVIN.PRINCE BOATENG WILL NEVER HIDE FROM THE COACH IN ITALY, ASAMOAH GYAN WILL KNOW.EXACTLY WHAT HIS ROLE IS OFF THE FUCKEN BENCH… I CAN DO A BETTER JOB… WITH A DEGREE IN SPORTS MANAGEMENT FROM Virginia state university, I believe in this kinda of style.. until then we will.never receive the respect we deserve on the.international view… you people are in Ghana doing anything … while proud hard working Ghanaians with credentials that can do the Job are in abroad watching this mess… please I need the opportunity
@ghanaboy-Your name tell it all GHANA—BOY.When you become a man you will write with some logic.
There is no way anybobody can verify your so called sports degree so that is no brainer.
Moreso your persistent use of the F-WORD without any provocation is mind buggling,a clear indication of someone suffering from PSCHIZOID DISORDER SYNDROM.
Your whole analysis is flawed with folly.
You talk of MARCEL as somebody the players will respect?mmmmmmmmm
These black Stars players have seen better ex-players than MARCEL so don’t use your myopic perception to make a general childish conclusion.
Marcel is only a PUNDIT who is so scared to venture into coaching.If he is any good,he would be coaching by now.
Not wasting time on you,l will conclude that your bashing of local Ghanaians as incompetent is unfortunate,remember nobody has asked any Ghanaian to live outside.It is a choice.
I know you will return with insult but as it said,facts are sacred and comments are free,a fool will always be a fool.
@caruthers: @genuwine: Good comments…thank u my brothers. The team needs simple understanding and strong team wrk nt individual display. Every player is a subject to substitution depending on the situation of the day. GO BLACK STARS!
AS WE PREPARE TO GO TO AFCON, I THINK GFA SHOULD OFFER PLAYERS WHO SCORE MORE BONUSES. IF YOU SCORE, U GET MORE CASH. AFTERALL, RESULTS = MONEY.
IF APPIAH CALLS ESSIEN, THE BAND MUST BE GIVEN TO ESSIEN
@ghanaboy camon man we hav alot better cyber coaches dan you,jux cut crap cos u dnt even knw hw to spell the coachs name. you complaining abt you guys in abroad workin hard tinkin we are here relaxin al day.after all we didnt force u to go to da white mans land to bath old ladies n brush donkeys teeth.nigger give us a break
MUAHAHAHAAAAA, HOW MANY TIMES WAS THE WORD “ALLEGED” USED IN DEDE’S APOLOGY?
Andre explains it perfectly, if he wasnt passionate he would not get angry, he did not get angry because he wanted to run more, get injured etc, he reacted because he believed he could give more. the technical team should see that as a + rather than a –
from the sound of it, he did not do anything outragious. i am pleased he is this passionate, now drop this issue and lets watch some good football
I think Dede did well by rendering his apology to the entire team. My little advice to him is to be more careful with those who are encouraging him in a wrong way. Who knows in the future?
