He added that no team member or Coach Kwesi Appiah should be attacked over the unfortunate loss, but rather, he should be blamed for everything.
“As a Ghanaian and as a leader no player is to be held responsible for this; I take all the responsibility and we are going to work hard and come back stronger," he disclosed.
“If we have been kicked out at this stage it means we had a bad tournament and since we couldn’t achieve the mission we came here for, I will say we failed,” Ayew added.
