Ghana legend Dan Owusu has rubbished media reports of saying Andre and Jordan Ayew performance are below belt and has therefore called on the public to treat it with the needed contempt it deserves.
The former Ghana Premier League goal king winner is reported to have expressed displeasure about the performance of the duo ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
But in an interview with Footballghana.com, Dan Owusu, who enjoyed a tremendous career for both club and country rubbished such report, saying he was misquoted.
“I never said the Ayew brothers’ performance is below belt, I was misquoted. I will entreat the public to treat it with the needed contempt it deserves.”
“My field is goal scoring and that is where I am keen about. I was of the opinion that, if the strikers are able to score goals, Ghana will go far in the tournament, I didn’t single out the Ayew brothers”
“I only urged them to die for the country because they are also strikers. I just want them to score goals for us because that is the most important thing. Those who did that want to get more engagement on their websites”
“Recently, we had a walk and all legends have declared support for the national team, so why will I spew negative comment about the team” he said.
Ghana has been housed in Group H at the mundial against Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea.
The Black Stars will open their World Cup account against Portugal on November 24 before taking on Uruguay and South Korea respectively.
The biggest soccer mundial has been scheduled for November and December this year, with 32 countries set to battle it out for the covetous trophy in Qatar.
