Except for a few experienced players who have an advantage, Andre Ayew claims that no player is assured selection for Ghana for the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Five new players have switched nations to play for Ghana at the international level, increasing competition for spots in the Black Stars.
Four of the five players, including Mohammed Salisu, who is also making his Ghana debut, have been invited to the games this month against Brazil and Nicaragua.
“The newcomers are talented, but we already have a strong team that qualified for the World Cup, so every position is competitive,” he told Aljazeera.
“Apart from senior players who may have an advantage, I believe no one is guaranteed a place in the squad just yet. Everyone must prove their quality on the field and everyone has a chance, giving the coach more options and solutions, formations, and I believe it is beneficial to have new players with the right mentality.”
Qualifying for the world cup is an attractive for Ghana and any Ghanaian who wants to play a part in Ghana’s success can show up on condition that the show the same determination they put up in their club, Ayew added.
“The players are good, and qualifying for the World Cup makes you very attractive. Why not let the boys come? The door is open for any Ghanaian who wants to play for and help the country, but you must come with the same determination you put into your club, the same desire, and you cannot expect everything in your European club to be the same in the national team because there is a time for the team to adapt.”
