The Black Stars are desperate to secure a result against the tournament favourites following their opening group defeat to Senegal on Monday.

Ghana, playing under new coach Avram Grant must churn out wins against Algeria and South Africa in order to survive Group C which is widely considered as the toughest group at the tournament.

The situation leaves the Black Stars anxious for a win to get their campaign back on track.

But Ayew wants the team to maintain their composure for their remaining games.

“We just need to stay calm and not start to get angry, put pressure on ourselves,” he told MTNFootball.com.

“Its football, it is true, we’ve lost the fight but we have not lost the battle.”
