Ghana captain Andre Ayew has acknowledged that selecting a new captain for the Black Stars will always spark debate.
Speaking during a lecture on sports psychology at the University of Ghana, the veteran forward emphasized that the future captain must be prepared for the inevitable discussions and scrutiny that come with the role.
“There will always be a debate sooner or later. The next one who is coming, there will be another debate.
The next one who is coming in the next 10 years, there will be another debate.
“Anybody who, tomorrow, is going to be the leader of our national team should be ready for it. There are things you just need to learn from, prepare for, and let brush off,” Andre Ayew said.
Andre Ayew is well-acquainted with the controversies surrounding the Black Stars captaincy.
When the captaincy was transferred from Asamoah Gyan to Ayew, it sparked significant debate and controversy.
More recently, in Ayew’s absence, Thomas Partey has taken on the role of captain for the Black Stars.
