Ghanaians need to be patient with us because we are building a new team” – Jordan Ayew says ahead of Qatar clash.
Crystal Palace forward, Jordan Ayew, is making a passionate appeal to Ghanaians to be patient with their expectations of the Black Stars since they are now putting the shape of the team together.
This call of his comes on the massive uproar by football-loving fans that greeted their abysmal performance against Mali on Friday where the Black Stars lost by three goals to nil (3-0).
Speaking ahead of their second international friendly clash with Qatar this afternoon in Turkey, Jordan Ayew said he believes they are poised to put up a spectacular performance, way better than what they did three days ago.
He added that he knows very well how Ghanaians expect them to be on top of their game but there are new faces in the Black Stars squad who will need adequate time to jell.
“It’s a game where we have to do better. We weren’t good enough in the first game, we all know, we are all professional players and we all know we didn’t` do well against Mali and we need to do better and at least start by having a good solid performance and after, the results will follow.
“But the most important thing is to have a very good performance as a team and obviously the result will follow. But also, let’s have in mind that we are building a new team and it’s going to take a bit of time so we need to be a bit patient.
“We need to make sure that we don’t repeat the mistakes that we did a couple of days ago we make sure we don’t repeat them tomorrow and make sure that we put in a solid performance to redeem ourselves.”
The Black Stars will be facing Qatar this afternoon in a FIFA international friendly match in Antalya Turkey at exactly 15:50 GMT.
