Otto Addo's comments on Andre Ayew shocking and disappointing - Fiifi Tackie

Fiifi Tackie, spokesperson for the Ayew family, criticized Black Stars coach Otto Addo.

Addo recently stated that Andre Ayew has fallen down the selection list. This was during an interview with Joy Sports on March 27. Despite Ayew's good form at Le Havre, he was not called up for recent matches.

Ghana played Chad and Madagascar in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. They won both games without Ayew.

Tackie found Addo's comments shocking and disappointing. He questioned how a player like Ayew could be overlooked.

Ayew is Ghana’s most-capped player and a three-time World Cup veteran. Tackie emphasized that Ayew plays well in the French league.

He argued that Addo's remarks undermine Ayew’s sacrifices for the national team. Tackie noted that Ayew’s legacy and commitment are undeniable.

He highlighted Ayew's experience and leadership in major tournaments. It is puzzling to dismiss a player who consistently delivers for his country.

Tackie also pointed out that Addo failed to qualify Ghana for this year's Africa Cup of Nations. He deemed Addo's comments disrespectful to Ayew and his contributions.

Finally, Tackie described Addo’s remarks as unprofessional for someone in his position.

Ayew last played for the Black Stars during the March 2024 international break against Uganda, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
