Ghana striker Jordan Ayew claims playing against Brazil’s central defenders in September’s international friendly made him fearless.
The talented Olympique Marseille forward overly impressed against the experienced Selecao centre-back pair of Lucio and Thiago Silva at the Craven Cottage in a match which he lasted for 70 minutes.
The 20-year-old, who has claimed a permanent starting spot at the Stade Velodrome, claims he can now tread the territories of renowned stoppers.
“Since I played against Thiago Silva nothing scares me again. That is how we are raised as a family. We give our all,” Jordan told Marseille TV.
Ayew has the highest number of appearances this season for Marseille along with Jeremy Morel.
