In giving an disdainful talk to FIFA.com, Ghana captain Eric Ayiah suggested that he and his team-mates have any goal of conquering a universe come Saturday 28 Oct – a date of a final during a FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017. 

“We’ve got some-more than one design here,” pronounced a Black Starlets skipper. “We’ve achieved a initial and now we’re going after a rest. We need to make it to a final and try and win a title.”

Lucky number
While ‘9’ and ’10’ are customarily a numbers of choice for free-scoring forwards, Ayiah opted for a No6 jersey for one unequivocally good reason: “It comes as a warn to everyone, though we like a series given it’s a sign of dual dates that are critical to me: my birthday (6 Mar 2000) and my country’s autonomy day (which also happens to be 6 March). I’ve desired a series given we was a child and I’ve never ragged any other. I’ve kept it wherever I’ve played.”

Ayiah scored dual of his side’s 4 goals in a feat over hosts India in a organisation phase, a outcome that helped them tip Group A brazen of Colombia and USA. “We set ourselves a few objectives after we qualified, a initial of that was to finish initial in a section. We’re going to be focused and ease as we go about achieving a rest of a goals. We have what it takes to do what we came here to do.”

Ayiah excelled during this year’s CAF U-17 Africa Cup of Nations, assisting himself to 4 goals to finish a foe as a second top scorer. “As a forward, it’s my pursuit to measure goals,” he said. “And I’m happy when we do it, generally if my group wins and creates swell in a competition.”

Familiar foes
Next adult for Ghana are Niger, a group they crossed swords with in a semi-finals of a U-17 Africa Cup of Nations. The Ghanaians prevailed on that occasion, winning 6-5 on penalties after a diversion had finished goalless in normal time. Will we be saying a repeat on Wednesday? “No,” replied Ayiah. “We consider we’re going to perform good and win a game. We wish to measure and we consider we’re able of winning it before a shoot-out. We’ll be doing all we can to keep a run going.”

Ayiah in his possess words
“I haven’t seen any of a matches from when Ghana won a pretension in 1991 and 1995, though we have review about them. We wish to recover a prize and lift a country’s dwindle high.”

“All a players dream of personification in Europe. We need to uncover a intensity and work as a team, so that we can any get a rewards we deserve.”

“I’m a Cristiano Ronaldo fan. He’s a finish package and he works unequivocally tough in training to urge his game. He does some extraordinary things in matches. we wish we can follow in his footsteps.”

“I started personification football when we was unequivocally young, on mud pitches. Then we assimilated Charity Stars. we played for a club’s girl teams from a age of 10 and I’m now in a girl team. We play in a second division.”
