Ghana Under Pressure: Ayew Calls for Calm Before Algeria Clash 🇩🇿
AFCON 2015 – Group C
Ghana, considered one of the top contenders at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, finds itself under intense pressure after a heartbreaking 2–1 loss to Senegal, sealed by Moussa Sow’s winner in the 93rd minute.
Now facing an in-form Algeria side, André Ayew and the Black Stars must win to stay alive in the tournament. A second straight loss would eliminate Ghana, a scenario the players are determined to avoid.
🎙️ André Ayew Urges Composure
Ahead of Friday’s pivotal match, vice-captain André Ayew addressed the media with a message of calm and focus:
“We just need to remain calm and not start getting angry or putting pressure on ourselves,” said the Olympique de Marseille midfielder.
“It’s football. Yes, we lost the fight, but we haven’t lost the battle.”
Ayew’s rallying cry reflects the mood in the Ghanaian camp — cautious, but still confident. With Asamoah Gyan returning from illness, the Black Stars hope to rediscover their form against a strong Algerian side that began their campaign with a 3–1 win over South Africa.
