Andre Ayew has expressed his profound passion for representing the Black Stars, emphasizing that his commitment to the national team is driven by patriotism rather than financial gain.
During a lecture at the University of Ghana, Ayew reflected on his career and the importance of playing for Ghana. “The national team is so important to my life, my family's life,” Ayew emphasized. He contrasted his experience with those who excelled through traditional education, noting, “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.”
He highlighted the immense honor and pride he feels when donning 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.
Despite missing out on the recent call-up, Ayew remains strongly committed to the national team, further demonstrated by his record-breaking 120 appearances and 24 goals for Ghana.
Ayew also discussed his tenure and the circumstances leading to his captaincy of the Black Stars, mentioning that he served as a deputy to former captain Asamoah Gyan for six years before taking on the armband.
Currently, Andre Ayew is a free agent after leaving French Ligue 1 side, Le Havre.
