Some Ghanaians on social media are calling for Andre Dede Ayew’s return to the senior national team.<\/p>\n
\n
Many believe the former captain was not the reason the team was underperforming. <\/p>\n
The Le Havre player had previously been tagged as one of the players holding the senior men\u2019s national team back. <\/p>\n
However, after four shambolic matches without a win, Ghanaians want the skipper to return to the Black Stars. <\/p>\n
\u201cDede Ayew was never the problem, bring him back,\u201d <\/em>one user posted on his X page. <\/p>\n Another user also posted a picture of Dede Ayew with the caption: \u201cDede Ayew going back to his Malam to thank him.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n Others who reacted to the post agreed that Dede Ayew be brought back to the team, stating that he was never the problem in the team. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe scapegoat. He wasn’t the problem after all…\u201d and another also said \u201cWhy do we make Dede always look like a bad guy in every situation??? We are just not good enough.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n One person questioned Otto Addo\u2019s decision to leave him out of the squad, stating \u201cWhy will you retire a player by force u too u no Dey force as a coach\u201d <\/p>\n
A user posted a video of Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan singing Obaapa Christy\u2019s gospel song \u201cW\u2019agye Me\u201d with the caption \u201cDede Ayew after realizing Ghanaians can no longer blame him for the performance of #BlackStars.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n Meanwhile, it remains to be seen if Dede Ayew will be called back into the team during the next international break in November. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
