Andre Ayew, the captain of Ghana, has accepted that discussions will inevitably arise each time a new captain is chosen for the Black Stars.
Andre Ayew gave a talk on sports psychology at the University of Ghana, where he discussed the difficulties and demands that upcoming national team captains will face.
“There will always be a debate sooner or later,” Ayew stated. “The next one who is coming, there will be another debate. The next one who is coming in the next 10 years, there will be another debate. Anybody who, tomorrow, is going to be the leader of our national team should be ready for it. There are things you just need to learn from, prepare, and let it brush off.”
The controversy surrounding Ayew’s captaincy of the Black Stars is nothing new to him. There was a great deal of discussion and controversy when Ayew replaced Asamoah Gyan as captain.
Thomas Partey has taken over as the Black Stars’ captain in lieu of Ayew.
As Ayew alluded to, the team will ultimately select a new captain, carrying on the custom of discussion and close examination that goes along with this esteemed position.
Ghana is aiming to qualify for both the 2026 World Cup and the next Africa Cup of Nations.
