2026 WC: We fell short offensively - Jordan Ayew after loss to Colombia
Jordan Ayew conceded that Ghana lost its defensive shape in the 1-0 defeat to Colombia on Saturday morning, a result that ended their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign at the Round of 32 stage. He stated, "We have a new manager; he just came two months ago, trying to install his style, and people are adjusting. You don't adjust within one month or two months; football doesn't work like that."
The 34-year-old, who has featured in three editions of the tournament, also noted that while Ghana showed defensive improvement, they struggled in the final third. He added, "You could see that defensively, we were better, but we fell short a bit offensively, so we have to find the right balance. The manager needs time; he's a very good manager." Ghana had progressed from the group stage after finishing third in Group L before their campaign ended at the first knockout hurdle. Carlos Queiroz was appointed head coach in April.
