Ghana goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey has conceded that being in between the posts for the pre-tournament favourites at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations comes with a great deal of pressure.
The 24-year-old Norway-based shot-stopper is making his Nations Cup debut and was not tested much in their opening game against Botswana on Tuesday.
After having kept a clean sheet so far, the Black Stars keeper believes pressure will continue to mount as Ghana is highly tipped to end their 30-year drought without a continental trophy at senior level.
�There is always pressure in football and especially when you play for a great nation like Ghana,� Kwarasey said to reporters.
�Of course, there is pressure but that's what we do. We live with pressures and we have to handle it.�
The young goalkeeper will face his second test at the continental showpiece this Saturday as Ghana face Mali.
