Avram Grant defends Ghana striker Jordan Ayew
Coach Avram Grant has come to the defence of
Jordan Ayew following criticisms over the
striker's performances in the AFCON so far.

Ayew's performance in Ghana's opening matches in
Equatorial Guinea has come under public scrutiny.

But the Black Stars head Coach says his young
striker and other players should rather be
encouraged and not judged based on their mistakes
in games.

"You can't stop people from talking.People spoke
about Kwesi Appiah even before he started training
and John Boye but now he is doing well so it's
normal for people to speak about the players",
Grant told Ghanafa.org.

"People can speak about the mistakes they make but
they need to respect the players and not to hang
the players for their mistakes.Because these
players giving everything to the national team."

"Jordan Ayew is a very good player and am sure he
will give alot to the national team in the
future",he added.

Ghana will take on Equatorial Guinea in their
semi-finals match at the Estadio de Malabo on
Thursday.
