The Black Stars skipper has admitted they were utterly poor at the Afcon but believes some of the goals conceded were due to sheer luck
Ghana captain Andre Ayew says they will have to apologise to Ghanaians following the poor display at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations ongoing in Cameroon.
The Black Stars surprisingly lost 3-2 to minnows Comoros on final day of the group stage, a result which condemned Ghana to the bottom of Group C and sent them packing early for the first time since 2006
“We didn’t make them proud and we take responsibilities for that because we didn’t have a good Afcon. We apologise to the nation for not going to the next stage. We’re very disappointed because this is not Ghana,” Ayew said, as quoted by AshesGyamera.com.
“If you check the goals we conceded against Morocco and verses Gabon, you can see that there was no luck. We need to learn from this
“If you guys know me, you will know live to fight another day. We will be back because we’re going to work hard and will be back. We need to swallow the [bitter] pill now because teams won the Afcon and the next tournament they were out from the group stage and an example is Cote D’Ivoire after 2015.
“We need to stay calm and see what went wrong and like I said prepare because something is coming quickly which is the playoff for the World Cup and we have to be ready for that,” he added.
Ghana will prepare for the knockout stage of the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers as Caf is expected to hold a draw in March
