‘We Weren’t Good Enough’ – Jordan Ayew Admits After AFCON 2021 Exit
Black Stars striker, Jordan Ayew has admitted that the team wasn’t good enough after they exited AFCON 2021 at the group stages.
Jordan was part of a blunt Ghana frontline that only scored one goal in their first two games of the competition against Morocco and Gabon.
The 10-man Black Stars team did manage to score twice in their final match against Comoros but their defence let in three more which sealed their unfortunate fate.
Speaking after the game, Jordan Ayew, who leaves Cameroon without a single goal said the group stage exit was a wake-up call for the young squad and an experience they must learn from.
“We were not good enough, we have a young squad, it’s a wake-up call for everyone and if we don’t learn from this then I don’t know,” he is quoted as having said by GTV Sports.
This was the first time the Stars have crashed out of an AFCON without a single win and the first time they’ve exited at the group stage since 2006.
