Ayew became Black Stars captain back during March and led Ghana through World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar. The team won both matches to improve their qualification chances. Ghana also competed at the Unity Cup where they lost 2-1 to Nigeria before beating Trinidad and Tobago 4-0 for third place. Akonnor told Graphic Sports that Ayew showed mature leadership on the field. The former Ghana coach believes Ayew sets good examples for younger players on the team. His captaincy helps boost confidence among teammates during matches. Ghana prepares for September World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Mali. The Black Stars currently lead their group and need strong performances to reach the tournament. Ayew will continue leading the team through these crucial qualification games. [/QUOTE]
