Ghana forward Jordan Ayew has responded to recent reports suggesting internal tensions within the Black Stars squad, stating that the players share a strong bond and are like brothers. Ayew, who was recently named the Black Stars captain, stressed that while disagreements may occur, they are common in any close-knit group and do not affect the unity of the team.
In an interview with Joy Sports, Ayew explained that the players’ relationships remain strong despite individual differences. He likened the team to a family, saying, “Just like a family, the fact that you’re closer to your sister doesn’t mean you don’t love your brother. There’s no problem or friction.”
Jordan Ayew’s appointment as captain marks a new chapter for the Black Stars, as he takes over from his older brother, Andre Ayew, who previously captained the team. Both brothers have been key figures in Ghana’s footballing success, with Jordan Ayew earning over 100 senior caps for the national team since his debut in 2010. Andre Ayew holds the record as Ghana’s most-capped player, with 120 appearances.
As the Black Stars prepare for the World Cup qualifiers, Jordan Ayew’s leadership will be crucial. The team will look to build on its strong team spirit and unity as they pursue their goal of qualifying for the tournament.
