The former Marseille capo has insisted that the Ghana international is not up to the talent of the �Maestro�. Former Olympique Marseille president Bernard Tapie has stated that Ghana international Andre Ayew is miles below his father's football talent and it will be a big mistake for anyone to compare the two. �I do not know if Andre Ayew can compare himself to the talent his father had, not at all,� Tapie told Marseille's official website. �To me they are miles apart. Abedi was the most technically gifted player I had even before Enzo Francescoli, Dede is good but not to the level of Abedi. Obviously, his father is more gifted.� Tapie, a businessman, was at the helm of affairs for Marseille from 1986 to 1994 and he helped them to win various titles, but in 1993 he was accused of match-fixing with Valenciennes which made the team suffer a force relegation to Ligue 2.
