Ayew wants no room for errors against Swaziland

Andre Dede Ayew says Ghana must win at all cost against Swaziland on Friday to ensure there is no hindrance to their 2012 Nationa Cup ambitions.
The Black Stars are locked in a neck to neck race with Sudan for the sole ticket available in Group I and separated only by goal difference. But with a potentially crucial decider to come against Sudan in Omdurman in October, Ayew insist Ghana cannot afford any slip ups.
"We have to win and win well against Swaziland; it is as simple as that", Ayew told KickOffGhana.com. "We have to remember that there is a game to play against Sudan away from home so if we win here we go there with one foot at the Nations Cup, with an early advantage."
Ayew admits to being obssesed about the Nations Cup and has argued consistently that it is the country's realistic prospect for a major trophy after close to 30 years without for the Black Stars.
"No one remembers that we were in the finals of the 2010 Nations Cup and it hurts. We all know that we have to win it at some point but first we must qualify and to do that we must play with the same attitude we would use in the competition itself against Swaziland on Friday."
