Ghana ready for Ivory Coast - Andre Ayew
Black Stars midfielder Andre Ayew has assured
Ghana are ready to take on Ivory Coast in the
final of this year's Africa Cup of Nations in
Bata, Equatorial Guinea on Sunday.

It will be a repeat of Senegal ‘92, where the
Elephants won 11-10 on penalties. And with Ivory
Coast’s star-studded side, they are favourites
to win the trophy for the second time in their
history.

But the Marseille talisman disagrees with that
assertion.

“Both teams have a chance of winning the match,
so it will be very important for us to rest and
recuperate before the game," the 24-year-old told
fifa.com.

“We have a day less than Côte d'Ivoire and
would have preferred to have more time to prepare,
but a final is a final and we will be ready. We
will do everything in our power to bring the
trophy. There is no word to describe how much we
want to win the trophy,” Ayew opined.

He added: “People are questioning whether we are
ready to lift the trophy again after so many
years, but if we were not ready, we would not have
beaten Equatorial Guinea in the semi-finals. We
are ready.”
