The coach of Ghana, Goran Stevanovic, has allayed fears that the Black Stars are not ready to carry the favourites tag as the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations beckons following their performance against South Africa in a test game.
Although the four-time African champions were held to a 1-1 draw against a depleted Bafana Bafana side on Sunday, the Serbian is optimistic that the game was helpful in enabling his side put themselves together ahead of the major game.
“I think that it was a very useful game for us after one week of very, very hard work here,” Plavi, as he is affectionately called, said.
“Some of the details were good. Defence, attack and how we organised the game. The players were tired a little, but I am sure for the game against Botswana, we will be 100 per cent."
Ghana will play their final practice match against South African club Platinum Stars on Wednesday before travelling to Gabon on Friday.
