André Ayew, the Ghanaian international and Olympique de Marseille player, has expressed a desire to change positions on the field. Ayew, traditionally a trained relay player, has been playing on the left side for the past three seasons and is keen on a change as the new financial year approaches in 2013-2014. However, the report suggests that coach Elie Baup may not be inclined to fulfill Ayew’s wish, possibly considering his current positioning as a viable option. The recruitment of Giannelli Imbula is mentioned as a factor reinforcing Ayew’s role as an attacking midfielder.
Despite Ayew’s personal preferences, it’s highlighted that he is not inclined to go against the coach’s decisions. The player prioritizes the collective aspect of the team and emphasizes the importance of unity, determination, and the desire to surpass oneself. According to Ayew, Olympique de Marseille’s strength in the previous season was rooted in the team’s collective mindset. He notes that the team’s success was not dependent on any single individual, unlike some teams that rely heavily on one player. Instead, Marseille’s success was attributed to the strength of the entire group, fostering a sense of unity and shared responsibility.
