Ghanaian forward Jordan Ayew has revealed what his father used to tell him when he was growing up as a young footballer.
According to him, his father always told him that football doesn’t lie and that If you are not good good everyone will see that you are not good.
“I grew up [being known as Abedi’s son] so it didn’t really affect me,” Jordan told Crystal Palace’s official website.
“My dad always said: ‘The football doesn’t lie. If you are not good, everyone will see you are not good. You just need to prove people wrong on the pitch.’
“That is what I have been trying to do since I was a child, to show I have my own qualities and I can be an important person to the country and the community”, he added.
Two seasons ago, the son of Abedi Pele was named Player-Of-The-Year at English Premier League side Crystal Palace FC after a stellar seasons at the club.
