In his first statement since his two
sons were excluded from the Black Stars squad for the 2013 Africa Cup of
Nations, Abedi Pele says he is disappointed in Ghana coach Kwesi
Appiah.
Andre and Jordan Ayew called time on their international
career last month following their exclusion from the Black Stars squad
for the tournament in South Africa.
Jordan was excluded from
Ghana’s squad when it was named while Andre failed to report in time for
the team’s camping in Abu Dhabi which resulted in his exclusion.
The
Marseille duo’s iconic father, Abedi Pele in a new twist, without
giving details, now says coach Akwasi Appiah has been a disappointment.
“I am friends with everyone including Akwasi Appiah,” he said. “But if
you have a friend who has disappointed you, what do you do? You stay
behind your kids.”
Opinions have been sharply divided since news
broke of the temporal retirement of the Ayews. The Ghana FA has since
made overtures to have the Marseille duo rescind their decision in order
to feature for the Black Stars.Despite the Ayew brothers ruling
themselves out of an immediate return, the GFA insists their response
have been favourable.
Andre and Jordan Ayew have ruled themselves
out of Ghana’s crucial 2014 World Cup qualifier against Sudan with
their return still not known.
While Andre says he needs more time
to recover from an ‘emotional and psychological’ setback following some
problems with the Black Stars management, Jordan assured he will
certainly return soon but will not be available for the March 24 game in
Kumasi. |
