‘I don’t gain my bread wearing Black Stars jersey’ – Andre Ayew

Ghana skipper Andre Ayew insists that playing for the Black Stars is driven by patriotism, not money.

Ayew spoke at a University of Ghana lecture, reflecting on his career and the importance of representing Ghana.

“The national team is so important to my life, my family’s life,” Ayew underlined.

He contrasted his experience with those who excelled through traditional education.

The former Marseille star stated, “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 34-year-old free agent, following his stint with Le Havre, highlighted the immense honour and pride he feels when wearing Ghana’s jersey.

“I don’t gain my bread, my family’s living wearing the national team colours,” Ayew declared.

“I wear these national colours with pride and honour,” added the U-20 World Cup winner.

Ayew, who missed out on the recent call-up, remains strongly committed to the national team.

This dedication is further solidified by his record-breaking 120 appearances and 24 goals for Ghana.
