The Swansea City forward speaking to Newsghana.com.gh after the Ghana/Comoros last elevator qualifying game to the group stages of the Russia 2018 accepted that their opponent gave them a real battle on the day but the Black Stars won nonetheless.
“We knew they were going to be very difficult to crack so we also prepared very well ahead of the game, but I wish to tell my colleagues that we have to stay humble and calm because we have another journey to embark on which is the group stages,” he said.
Andre Ayew, 25, has been nominated in the BBC African Best Player Award and the African Best Player Award believes that his performance for both club and country is enough testimony for him to win the two awards.
“I’ll be very excited if I’m chosen as the African Best Player but I am not the only one, there are other players in there as well but looking at my performance in the year under review, I think I deserve the award,” he noted.
Andre Ayew has stolen the headlines since he left Ligue 1 side Olympique Marseille to the English Premiership this season, winning the EPL Best Player for the month of August.
