I don’t gain my bread from wearing Black Stars jersey - Captain Andre Ayew
Andre Ayew
Black Stars captain, Andre Ayew, has stressed that his dedication to representing the national team is driven by a profound sense of patriotism rather than financial gain.
Speaking at a sports psychology lecture at the University of Ghana last Friday, Andre reflected on his career and the importance of playing for Ghana.
“The national team is so important to my life, my family’s life because today a lot of big men in Ghana have come through the huge university here; our life isn’t through university and through school, our life, my family is about the game and from this country not from anywhere else so when we know we have to wear this jersey, for me it’s all about sacrifices," the former West Ham United and Swansea City forward said.
The 34-year-old, currently a free agent following his tenure at Le Havre, highlighted the honour and pride he feels in wearing Ghana's colours.
“I don’t gain my bread, my family’s living wearing the national team colours, I wear these national colours by pride and honour,” the U-20 World Cup winner added.
Despite missing out on recent World Cup qualifier matches against Mali and the Central African Republic, Ayew remains committed to his national duty, underscoring his unwavering dedication to the Black Stars.
