Appiah: Black Stars should be full of confidence
Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah wants his Black Stars to
play without any inhibitions of the past when they
arrive at the 2014 World Cup finals.

Four years ago in South Africa, the Black Stars
looked almost invincible until they were undone by
Uruguay on penalties in the quarter-finals.

But the Black Stars will have another opportunity
to have a go again when they arrive in Brazil and
Appiah expects his players to be full of
confidence.

“Now we’re looking forward to Brazil. All of
my players are at very good clubs so there’s no
reason to be cautious. We’re going there full of
confidence,” Appiah told FIFA Weekly.

After ending their campaign in the quarters the
last time, Appiah is striving to make the Black
Stars go beyond that.

“I want us to be the best team in the World,”
said the Black Stars coach.

“At the World Cup in Brazil, we can go further
than we did in South Africa four years ago. We can
become greater than the sum of our parts and reach
the semi-final or the final.”

Ghana will be begin the campaign in a tough Group
G which compromises of Germany, USA and Portugal.
