Andre Ayew cannot be pressured to retire- Agyemang Badu

Former player for the Black Stars of Ghana, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu has cautioned Ghanaians on retiring Andre Ayew from the Black Stars.

Andre Ayew  last featured for the Black Stars of Ghana eight months ago and has not received a call-up since then.

The Le Havre player has been snubbed by Black Stars head coach Otto Addo since he took over the helm of affairs. His former teammate, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu believes Andre Ayew will retire at the right time when he feels he can’t offer anything to the national team.

“if he thinks his body is still responding and the coaches still needs him, we will all support him to be there. If the coach thinks his experience is still needed as captain to help the guys to grow, we will support him 120 percent. If the coaches think otherwise, we will support him as well.” He told Flashscore.

“Andre knows his body more than me and nobody can force him to retire from the national team or from his club side. If he wakes up tomorrow and says thank you Ghana, it is time to focus on club football only, we will say thank you and appreciate his contributions because he has done alone for the Black Stars.” He added.

Andre Ayew has 120 caps for the Black Stars and has scored 24 goals.
