Legendary African football player Abedi Pele asserted that because his sons, Jordan and Andre Ayew, are talented players, Ghanaians criticize them.
Pele claims that the reason for his boys’ unceasing criticism is their brilliance and the knowledge that Ghanaians are capable of doing better.
Pele claimed that because his sons have what it takes to achieve, they receive the same criticism that he had when he was a player.
Never once have they made a mistake. They’ve never abandoned me, that much I can say. There’s nothing wrong with it; it was the same when I was playing. They approach you since they are aware that you possess it and are capable of completing the task. According to Ghanaweb, he said to Sammy Yeboah, “If you don’t have it, nobody will call your name.”
Some have criticized Jordan and Andre Ayew for playing with the Black Stars, claiming that they should be replaced by younger players because they are past their prime. Coach Chris Hughton of the Black Stars, however, continues to have faith in them and views them as crucial to his ambitions for the 2023 Africa Cup of nation
