Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew has called on Ghanaians to exercise patience as the national team goes through a challenging transition.
“International football has periods, and we are in a period of transition. The head coach [Otto Addo] has also come in with different ideas, so it will take time,” Ayew stated, emphasizing the need for fans to manage expectations.
The Leicester City forward compared Ghana’s struggles to Manchester City’s dip in form, suggesting that rebuilding takes time.
“Look at Man City and their struggles this season, for example. It is the end of an era, and it’ll take time for them to build again,” he noted.
Ghana’s recent performances have been underwhelming, with back-to-back group-stage eliminations at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon and Ivory Coast.
The Black Stars have only managed two wins in 10 matches in 2024, and their failure to qualify for the 2025 AFCON has further dampened hopes.
Despite the setbacks, Ayew remains confident in the team’s potential. “I think we need patience because I’m convinced we have the players to turn things around,” he assured.
