Ghana midfielder Mohammed Kudus has backed Andre Ayew despite Ghanaians blaming the captain for Black Stars exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Uruguay beat the Black Stars 2-0 on Friday at Al Janoub Stadium after Andre Ayew penalty was saved by goalkeeper Sergio Rochet
The defeat implies the 2010 quarter-finalists’ campaign was over. The win was also not enough to see the La Celeste also make it to the knockout phase.
Speaking after the game, Kudus said it will be a cheapest thing to do to blame Andre Ayew.
“The easiest thing we can do is to blame one person [for the elimination] or whichever,” Kudus said.
“In the second half, I also got chances that I could have scored; some could be qualified as a penalty also, so we all had chances to have an effect in the game.”
“I don’t really think the penalty has an effect on the whole performance. Andre is a great leader and a great captain.”
“After the penalty miss, he was still in the game, and stood up for the whole team like everyone did, but the result went the other way, so we learned from it and stay positive.”
