Speaking ahead of Friday's clash with Austria in Vienna, Ayew acknowledged the quality of the opposition but expressed confidence in the team's readiness. "We are going to try to put in our best performance. We are not here for holidays. We are here to work hard, to perform and to get good results. It will not be easy, but it will also be the best chance to be successful tomorrow." Ayew emphasized that despite a few late withdrawals from the squad, the players remain focused on the task ahead. "We want to play for our country; we want to do well for our country. Tomorrow is going to be a tough game; Monday will be a tough game as well. So, we will do our best." The captain also provided a positive update on the team's preparation, noting that the limited training sessions have been used effectively.
