FIGHTING TALK FROM THE 'BRAZILIAN AFRICANS' AHEAD OF BRAZIL CLASH
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 23 - 06 - 2006


IF YOU THINK NOBODY FANCIES GHANA AGAINST
BRAZIL THEN YOU SHOULD TALK TO THE GHANIANS. "THEY ARE THE WORLD CUP
HOLDERS BUT IT IS 11 AGAINST 11 AND WE HAVE AS MUCH CHANCE OF WINNING
AS THEM," SAYS GHANA FORWARD ASAMOAH GYAN, DPA REPORTED.
AND GHANA COACH RATOMIR DUJKOVIC IS EQUALLY UPBEAT WHEN HE SAYS:
"WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD BUT GHANA HAVE
ALREADY SHOWN THAT WE ARE THE TEAM MOST LIKE BRAZIL IN THIS WORLD
CUP.
"WE PLAY THE SAME WAY AND WE MUST NOT FORGET THAT IT IS 11 AGAINST
11 WITH ONE BALL BETWEEN US. IF WE WIN THEY WILL STILL BE TALKING
ABOUT GHANA. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT IS BRAZIL WHO SUFFER.
"THEY ARE A GREAT SIDE BUT WE ARE NOT THAT FAR BEHIND THEM AND WE
ARE PLAYING WITH NO PRESSURE BECAUSE NO-ONE EXPECTS US TO WIN."
RAZAK PIMPONG WHO WAS FOULED FOR THE PENALTY THAT STEPHEN APPIAH
CONVERTED TO SEND GHANA INTO THE LAST 16 ADDS: "IT IS OUR FIRST WORLD
CUP AND WE HAVE QUALIFIED FOR THE SECOND ROUND. WE ARE SATISFIED BUT
WE CAN DO MORE - WE CAN BEAT BRAZIL.", HE WAS QUOTED BY DPA.
