Amid Olympique de Marseille’s recent struggles and defeats, particularly the most recent one against OGC Nice, some supporters have been critical of the young talents in the team, citing their lack of experience in certain competitions. In response to this, André Ayew, an experienced figure within the club, addresses the difficulties the team is facing and calls on supporters to support and encourage the young players rather than putting pressure on them.
Ayew singles out players like Thauvin, Lemina, Imbula, Mendy, and Samba, emphasizing the need to protect and help them. Despite the pressure and scrutiny, Ayew sees these young talents as the future of the club and urges supporters to convey their confidence in these players. He acknowledges that the next two seasons might be challenging for everyone but believes in the potential of the young squad.
Ayew also addresses the case of his brother, Jordan Ayew, who has been struggling with a lack of goal-scoring efficiency. While acknowledging the importance of scoring for an attacker, André Ayew highlights Jordan’s overall contribution to the team, including his activity on the pitch, generosity, and commitment. He expresses disagreement with the supporters who whistle at Jordan, emphasizing the illogical nature of such criticism and urging a more supportive approach.
