2019 AFCON: Let's stay united – Andre Ayew urges teammates

Black Stars skipper Andre Dede Ayew has urged his colleague teammates to remain united and fight on in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Egypt.

In the round of 16, the Black Stars will be playing Tunisia, who have failed to overcome the West African side on seven different occasions at the Afcon, losing six times and drawing once.

Ayew told ClassSports’ Kwame Dwomoh-Agyemang, who is in Egypt covering the tournament that: “The past is the past and in Ismailia, we scored two goals against Benin even though we did not win, and we should focus on the present and the present is doing what we did today (Tuesday, 2 July 2019): playing together tactically, physically going on every ball. Football is about being smart. It is not only about taking the ball and running all over the pitch.

“We need to stay as a team and a unit and once we do that, I have no doubt in my mind that the lads would deliver,” Ayew said after the win over Guinea-Bissau in the final round of Group Games.
