Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo has heaped praise on Ghana striker Jordan Ayew for his dedication to the national team.
According to him, the forward is not just disciplined but is always available and ready to give his best to the Black Stars.
“All the players have a very good opinion of him [Jordan Ayew]. He’s always disciplined, always shows up very, very dedicated to the national team and that's his job,” Coach Otto Addo said.
The coach was speaking in an interview with FIFA.
Coach Otto Addo added, “Sometimes, and maybe people don’t see this as I know they expect strikers to score, when he doesn’t score he does a good job and especially good defensive work; closing down gaps, winning duels, running and pressing. Even if he doesn’t score, I think, for me and other coaches, we see the benefits of him. I was happy for him that he scored.”
Jordan Ayew, 32, is expected to be part of the Ghana squad that will face off with Angola and Niger in September in the qualifiers for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
