Ghana captain, Andre Ayew, has said he feels lucky to have Black Stars teammates who trust and have confidence in him.
The Al Sadd forward assumed the national team captaincy in 2019, replacing the all-time African top scorer at the World Cup, Asamoah Gyan ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON].
The 32-year-old is expected to lead the side against Brazil and Nicaragua later this month.
“I’m very lucky to be with players who give me that leadership role, who have confidence in me, who give me a lot of responsibilities and I think I have senior players around me to help,” he told Radio Gold.
“You can’t do it alone, you always need those around and I think we are doing a good job.
“It wasn’t easy since I became a captain, there have been a lot of changes, a lot of coaches but globally it’s not bad.
“We need to keep pushing and we will be rewarded by God’s grace,” he added.
Ghana plays Brazil at the Stade Oceane in Le Havre on September 23 and against Nicaragua in the South-eastern Spanish city of Lorca four days later.
The Black Stars are paired in Group H alongside Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea for the global football showpiece that starts in November.
