Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew has described Ghana’s emphatic 4-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago in the Unity Cup as a crucial boost to the team’s confidence and morale, especially after a tough outing in 2024.
Speaking after the match in London, Ayew emphasized the psychological importance of the victory, praising his teammates and the coaching staff for their collective efforts in turning around the team’s form.
It was really important for us to win today. It’s good for our confidence and team spirit,” said the Leicester City forward.
Honestly, I congratulate the boys and the technical staff for their support. We struggled a bit in the course of last year, but it seems we are picking up the pieces this time around and we are all happy about the turn of events.
Ayew acknowledged the team’s journey over the past year, highlighting the value of the Unity Cup not just as a tournament, but as a platform for rebuilding team cohesion and momentum ahead of September’s World Cup qualifiers.
The performance in the two matches helps us build our confidence and mentality going into the next international window, he added.
The Unity Cup saw Ghana bounce back from a narrow loss to Nigeria with a dominant performance against Trinidad and Tobago, with several younger players impressing, a development both Ayew and head coach Otto Addo have praised.
