Ghana not complacent

Football | Ghana

 

Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah insists the Black Stars cannot get complacent, although the first leg against Egypt has all signs of being a sellout.
"It's a big game," the Black Stars coach told www.ghanafa.org. "It's a game which is important to all Ghanaians and every member on my team is aware of that."
Of course they are, with the Black Stars wanting a third straight appearance at the World Cup finals must navigate past Egypt over two-legs to reach Brazil.
Appiah is sure that Ghana can make a World Cup dream real.

"Egypt are seven-time African champions and trying to reach the World Cup for the first time since 1990. That will give them some added boost going into the game."
Egypt are seven-time African champions and the gaffer wants that singular fact the pump his boys to deliver next Tuesday.
"Their record in its sense means that we cannot look down on them. We can't get complacent. We have to prepare well and remain focused," Appiah said.
Apparently, the Ghana boss is less nervous now than he was before the last qualifier against Zambia, which the West Africans won.
"The expectation will always be there whenever the Black Stars have a game.
"I can say I was more anxious during the Zambia game. There's been no panic since the pairing with them[Egypt].
"I have respect for them. They are a good side," concluded the Ghana coach.
The aggregate winner after both legs qualifies for next year's finals in Brazil.
