Ghana striker Jordan Ayew believes they stand a chance of beating Cameroon in their semi final clash at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.
The Black Stars will take on the indomitable Lions on Thursday evening at the Stade de Franceville in the second semi final.
This is the second time in recent years the two countries are meeting at this stage after their 2008 encounter which Cameroon won 1-0 when the tourney was hosted in Ghana.
Striker Jordan Ayew admits it will be tough but insists they are favourites to go through.
“We have a very big game against Cameroon. It is a very tough game but we have to keep on going and do what we know how to do best which is to win games. Even if it is difficult, we still stick together, work hard and that is why we get rewarded at the end,” pointed out Ayew in an interview with Supersport.
Jordan Ayew who has signed a deal with Swansea City in the Premier League says he would love to continue his goalscoring form when the Black Stars face Cameroon in the AFCON semis.
“As a striker, you always want to score but sometimes you score some goals that are really, really important and you see your teammates so happy.”
“You see the bench so happy, the supporters so happy, you see the country so happy so when you see all these things, they make you so emotional. As a kid, I always dreamt of scoring in the big games so I thank God for that.”
