Ghana vrs Uruguay: We're not going for revenge, besides I'm the only surviving player — Dede Ayew

World Cup Ghana vrs Uruguay: We're not going for revenge, besides I'm the only surviving player — Dede Ayew
NOV 30, 2022 LISTEN

Andre Dede Ayew, captain for the Black Stars of Ghana, has spoken about their much-anticipated encounter with Uruguay in the ongoing FIFA World Cup.

Having played in the most contentious 2010 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal match against Uruguay, Dede Ayew still sees it as a normal game.

On whether the Black Stars will go into the game with the mindset of seeking revenge for their 2010 defeat, Dede Ayew believes otherwise.

According to him, he is the only player among the current squad who witnessed that heartbreaking incident where Luiz Suarez hand-picked a ball from the goalposts.

“I'm the only survivor [Ghana 2010], so there's no point in talking too much, it's a game where we will need points to progress to the next round,” he said in an interview.

A repeat of the historic quarterfinal match in South Africa 2010 is about to happen between Ghana and Uruguay. It is a must-win for each side, especially the South Americans, as they only have a point while the Black Stars have three points.

A winner from the match, especially when it is Ghana, stands an automatic chance to advance to the Round of 16, regardless of the results that may come from the Portugal vs. South Korea game on the same date and time.

However, if Uruguay wins, they may have to pray for South Korea to draw or lose against Portugal.

Scheduled for 15:00 GMT, the game will take place at the Al Janoub Sports Stadium on Friday, December 2.
