Ghanaians still love the Black Stars – Andre Ayew

Back Stars captain, Andre Ayew, has revealed he believes  Ghanaians still have a love for the senior national team and thinks all the team needs to do is put together good performances to rekindle the love.

Following the 2014 World Cup debacle, Ghanaians have demonstrated gross apathy towards the Senior National team.

But, the former Swansea and West Ham midfielder believes that the love is still there and the team will work towards regaining the hearts of Ghanaians.

“I believe deep inside me that every single Ghanaian loves the Black Stars,” Ayew told Joy FM

“You can love your wife and be angry, and I think that is the relationship between the Black Stars and the Ghanaians. The feeling I am having is that they are waiting for us to give them something to spark. I feel it is starting to come.”

“We will need the support from our nation. We cannot sit here and tell them we will win or they should bet we will win [the Afcon] but we need to feel they are behind us,” Ayew continued.

“That is something we have to earn, and I believe we have started on the right track by qualifying for the Afcon and if we give them a good run in the World Cup qualifiers, the belief and confidence will be higher than it is currently,” he concluded.
