Ghanaians have been unfair to Ayew brothers - Ex-GFA veep George Afriyie

Published on: 17 October 2022

Former Ghana Football Association [GFA] vice president, George Afriyie believes Ghanaians have been unnecessarily hard on the Ayew brothers.

The pair have come under pressure following their uninspiring performance for the Black Stars.

Ghanaians have called on the technical handlers of the national team to drop the Ayew brothers after featuring against Brazil and Nicaragua in the September friendly games ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

But speaking to Untold Stories TV GH, George Afriyie said Ghanaians are unfair to the Ayew brothers.

"We have been unfair to them," he said.

"As footballers, they all have their flaws but trust me if a player is playing in the EPL today, week in we out, what will be the justification for not calling him? It's the same justification I will call for the inclusion of Jeffrey Schlupp."

According to the astute football administrator, the two players are of good quality and a great addition to the Black Stars hence it will be unjust to call for their exclusion from the Black Stars.

"For me, if you call Jordan, you have called a good player from a good league.

"If I am not mistaken, just check the numbers of Andre Ayew. We are just criticizing them unfairly," he added.

The pair however are expected to make Ghana's squad for the Mundial in Qatar later this year.
