Egypt coach Hector Cuper said that his team does not fear Ghana and that his team is ready to face them.
Both teams have been drawn in the same group for the World Cup qualifiers. Congo Brazzaville and Uganda are the other teams in the group.
Egypt was thrashed by Ghana 6-1 in the 2014 World Cup qualifying playoff, and some pundits believe that this can affect the Egyptian team psychologically.
However, the Egypt coach believes that this will not have an impact on his team. He said that he is aware of the past result, but he believes that this will be another game. He said that Egypt fear no one and that they have a single objective which is to qualify for the World Cup. However, he admitted that his team needs to work hard if they want their dream to come true.
Ghana Football Association president, however, believes that the match will not be easy for his team. He said that Egypt has a new team in place and that they also have an experienced coach at the head of the team. He believes that Egypt will be looking for revenge and that they will be motivated for the game.
He believes that Ghana must be ready for a fight if they want to win the game. He admitted that it will not be easy and that they should not expect to win by a significant margin as last time. He wants his team to focus on their game and to make sure that they qualify for the World Cup.
He said that the Ghana Football Association would be providing the team with all the resources for them to prepare so that they can achieve a good qualifying campaign and make it to the World Cup in Russia.
