Black Queens won't be intimidated by hostile crowd against Cameroon
Black Queens midfielder Priscilla Okyere expects a
hostile and partisan crowd when they take on
Cameroon in Tuesday's Africa Women Cup of Nations
semi-final but confident they will withstand.

The Indomitable Lionesses are counting on the
massive home support to beat the Queens to reach
the final.

Cameroon have beaten Ghana once in their six
meetings and go into the match on the back of
three wins at the Group stage.

OKyere, who beat Cameroon at the youth level, is
positive her teammates can overcome the
challenges.

"For sure their fans will turn up in their numbers
not just to support their team but also to make us
feel intimidated. That will be a failed ploy
because we are used to pkaying infront of huge
crowds,'' she said.

"All that matters when we get to the pitch is 11
players against 11 players on the other side.
Psychologically, coach has told us to tune our
minds off to the crowd.

''Our only concern is to have fair officiating and
even that we will play to tge referee's whistle as
we don't want to be distracted in any way.

"Being confident of victory is not underrating
the Camerounians, but at this moment, the pressure
is on them to deliver victory to their home fans."
