During the press conference following the game, Jordan Ayew and Otto Addo addressed the media, revealing that Ayew has been playing in an unfamiliar position for both his club and the national team for quite some time.
In a recent interview after the match, Ayew discussed the difficulties he has faced with his positioning.
“I’ve been playing out of position for quite some time in the national team and also at the club level. But I have always done my duty, put my country first, and never complained because I always give my all.”
He further elaborated on his preferred position: “It’s difficult. It’s not something that I like to talk about, but obviously, my favorite position right from the academy, in France, and in the national team has always been as a number 9.”
Despite the challenges, Ayew emphasized his adaptability: “I understand because I have qualities that allow me to play in the pockets of spaces, and I don’t complain.”
