Ghana’s Andre Ayew: I’m not bickering with any Black Stars player
The midfielder has been accused of picking a quarrel with some senior players by local media, but he has denied it outright
By Kent Mensah
Reports making rounds in some local media have it that the Marseille player is at loggerheads with some key members of the team, but he has shot down the reports.
“This is completely false,” the left-footed player is quoted on KickOffGhana. “The entire squad was united to end Ghana’s trophy wait.”
Ghana finished fourth at the 28th edition of the continental showpiece after losing 2-0 to Mali in the third place playoff. Ayew said they have not given up yet and will make amends in South Africa 2013.
“You go into a competition with a lot of desire and ambition. We really wanted to bring the cup to Ghana, but we did not do what we had to do on the pitch – take our chances,” he said.
"We are very disappointed, but we are going to erase these mistakes and push forward to make the nation proud.”

"But, we came through. Obviously there were a lot of changes so it's good to get the result.
"Belgium are a very, very strong side who are going to be really good in the future. Vincent [Kompany] told me about them and said that they were coming good and I totally agree with him."
"[Gary] Cahill I suppose is slightly more of a concern for me because it is a jaw injury. We're desperately hoping the CT scan doesn't show any fracture and it's just going to be a bruising situation, which will be bad enough, but won't stop him taking part in the tournament. As far as John's [Terry] concerned he felt his hamstring a little bit. Again it wasn't a major thing when he came off but we still need to scan it just to be 100 per cent sure."
Suffice to say, if Cahill has broken his jaw, he won't play any part in the tournament.
