Fighting spirit will give Ghana win over Egypt - Avram Grant Ghana coach Avram Grant says a strong fighting
spirit by the Black Stars is what will guarantee
his side the win over Egypt in the crucial World
Cup qualifier this afternoon.
The Black Stars take on the Pharaohs at the Borg
El-Arab Stadium in Alexandria needing a result to
keep alive their hopes of qualifying.
Grant says they need a tough fighting spirit
against the home side who will be backed by over
80,000 fans in Alexandria to be able to defeat
them.
"If we play like a team, we can achieve a good
result, we need to show a fighting spirit as a
team," Grant said.
“We can get a good result. It will not be easy,
I don’t want to say that Ghanaians are afraid
but they are worried and they have the right to be
so."
Seven-time African champions Egypt, who are
currently second of their group following Uganda's
1-0 win over Congo, would go five points clear of
Ghana with a win as they bid for their first World
Cup appearance since 1990.
Egypt, who earned a 2-1 comeback victory over
Congo in their opening game, are second in the
group with three points, two ahead of Ghana who
were held to a surprise 0-0 draw at home to Uganda
last month.
Uganda, who earned a vital point after drawing
away with Ghana in the first round, temporarily
lead Group E on four points.
That is because the Cranes defeated Congo 1-0 in
the group's second round of matches on Saturday. Source - Soccernet
