In an interview with Sammy Yeboah, Abedi Pele stated that his sons attracted the most criticism because they are good at what they do.

"They’ve never gotten it wrong. But what I can say is, [Ghanaians] never left me alone, when I was playing; it was the same so I have nothing wrong with it."

The Ghanaian legend believes the criticism stems from people knowing the brothers have the X factor.

"If you don’t have it, nobody will call your name, if you are determined and you are good, everybody will come to you."

Andre missed Ghana's international friendlies against Mexico and the United States in October but was recalled for the World Cup qualifiers, as reported by Ghana Soccernet.

The Ayew brothers are expected to make the Black Stars squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast next year.
