Jordan Ayew displeased by Nigerian journalists

With this knowledge and the fact that the Black Stars were booted out of the last edition of AFCON in the group stage, a Nigerian journalist at the Black Stars' pre-match press conference sought the opinion of Jordan Ayew.

According to the Daily Graphic, the Nigerian journalist had asked a hypothetical question:

"If by adventure you fail to win tomorrow and crash out of the group again, will you consider your generation of players as having failed Ghana?"

But Jordan, who did not want to hear anything defeatist, pointed to the journalist that he was not going to talk about elimination when that had not happened yet.

"Are we disqualified yet? Wait after that happens, then you can talk," the Crystal Palace forward is quoted as saying.
