Black Stars skipper Andre Dede Ayew has assured fans of the
senior national men’s soccer team that the Black Stars will win their final
game at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations and qualify to the knock-out stage.
Ghana stand a chance of qualifying as one of the three
third-placed teams if they record a win over Comoros on Tuesday, January 18.
The team gave up a 1-0 lead to draw with Gabon in a feisty
game at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaounde on Friday.
But at the post-match press conference, the Al Sadd
midfielder, who was named the Man of the Match, said they will beat the Island
nation and make it to the Round of 16.
“We are Ghana,” he insisted. “We are going to win the last
game and go through.”
The former West Ham and Swansea City player, whose 20-yard
first half strike was cancelled out by Gabon’s Jim Allevinah, expressed
disappointment in the lack of Fair Play displayed by the Panthers in the
build-up to the equaliser.
“We had the ball and we put it out intentionally because our
player was on the floor.
“So what do we do? When the ball is coming, you take the ball,
Gabon, and give it back to Ghana. [It is as] simple as that!
“So, we were waiting for the ball to come back but the ball
was not coming back and they played and that’s how they got their only open
chance of the game. That is, it.
“It is very small of them. I am disappointed in them.”
