Ghana face surprise package Zambia in the semi-final of this year’s African Cup of Nations. The Black Stars have literally stormed their way past opponents and are just a step away from playing the final.
Though all the Ghanaian players have impressed, Olympique de Marseille winger, Andre Ayew has been arguably the best player for his side. The youngster played a big role in helping his side eliminate a defensively sound Tunisian team in the quarterfinals.
With weight of expectations hanging on his and his teammates’ shoulders, Ayew knows that the team needs to take responsibility and show how far the side has come in recent years.
Head coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Goran-c15135 Stevanovic has made Ayew the captain of the national side, something that the youngster finds overwhelming due to his age. The 22-year-old feels that he has to act as a bridge between a young and old generation of the Ghanaian side.
Ayew’s experience of playing at the top level would be tested a lot when his side faces Zambia who have surprised everyone by reaching this far in the tournament.
“Ghana is one of the best teams in Africa, if not the best. It has the mind and the players to stay on top. We must take responsibility and show that this group has gone far. I am the bridge between old and young now and I am trying to adapt to this new
role. It’s not easy, especially since I did not expect it to happen,” says Ayew who is eager to do well for his side.
If Ghana manage to defeat http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ghana-c2905 and especially for Ayew as he will become one of the youngest captains ever to guide a national
team to a major trophy.
