The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 striker has failed to make a cut in Ghana’s provisional squad for the upcoming African Cup of Nations, but the player sees this as an opportunity to cement his place in the starting eleven in the absence of his brother,
Andre Ayew
Andre Ayew will be away on the international duty in January and his younger brother, Jordan Ayew, is expected to fill the gap. And the Ghanaian is confident that he can fill the void that will be created by the absence of his elder brother.
While talking to reporters, the 21-year-old stated that he is ready to play on the flanks in the absence of Andre Ayew and it’s up to coach, Elie Baup, to decide whether to play him on the wings or hand him a more central role.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-Ayew-c19098 said that he is not the type of player who makes fuss about such things. Wherever the coach would want him to play, the 21-year-old will play in that position without any hesitation. The Ghanaian added that he gives his best every time he is
on the pitch and the coach will decide how to utilise his abilities.
“I never complain I am not the type to say I want to play here or there. While I’m on the pitch, I am fine. Whether it is anywhere, I will give my best. I am available to the coach, so it’s up to him. I’ll be there in January, we’ll see.”
The 21-year-old added that it’s true that he prefers playing in more central role and feels comfortable in that position. However, the player can also play on the flanks quite well and has stressed that he will play wherever the coach would want him to.
“It is clear that I begin to feel better (playing more central). This is the position I prefer, but I can also play on the side. That’s the coach who sees, we are players to play in any system, and this is the coach who decides.”
African Cup of Nations will kick-start in the first month of 2013, and Ligue 1 teams would be hoping to cope with the absence of their http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/African-Stars-c38232.
