Ghana captain Andre Ayew says his side must put their bodies on the line to beat South Africa in their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Cape Coast on Thursday‚ even if it means “we have to die”.

It is a rousing message from the Swansea City star‚ who along with brother Jordan will be the key dangermen for Bafana Bafana in the opening game of their qualification campaign.

Ayew believes they have a tough qualification pool for the next finals‚ but has urged his players to give their all. “We have players who have confidence. We have players who want to prove a point and we have people who just want to die for the nation. We have to realise that we are playing for millions of people.

“It is not going to be easy. I can tell you that this qualification is going to be very difficult‚ but we will go through.”
