Black Stars captain Andre Ayew appeared to have enraged some users of social media with his position on the issue of selection criteria for the Black Stars.
In an interview with the Daily Graphic, the Black Stars captain stated that some veteran players in the squad have an advantage in terms of selection into the team.
Dede Ayew said that selection into the team is based solely on merit and that no one is guaranteed a place in the team.
“The newcomers are talented, but we already have a strong team that qualified for the World Cup, so every position is competitive. Apart from senior players who may have an advantage, I believe no one is guaranteed a place in the squad just yet”.
The statement has enraged social media users, who are questioning what they see as a sense of entitlement on the part of some players.
Though Andre Ayew made the statement in his capacity as Black Stars skipper, critics have dragged in his brother, Jordan Ayew, and are slamming them for making a statement that most Black Stars fans know to be true.
The two brothers were in action when Ghana was walloped 3-0 by Brazil in their first pre-World Cup international friendly.
They are also in line to feature for the Black Stars against Nicaragua in another friendly match on Tuesday, September 27, 2022.
