James Kwesi Appiah, Head Coach of the senior national team, the Black Stars, has said his side will give Cameroon a good challenge as they seek to record their first win in the second game of Group F, at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), at the Ismailia Stadium on Saturday, June 29.
According to coach Appiah, Ghana would approach the game with all the needed seriousness and aggression in a bid to secure a vital win to cushion the Stars into the final group game against Guinea-Bissau on July 2, at Suez Stadium.
Cameroon tops group F with three points after beating Guinea-Bissau 2-0 in the group opener as Ghana played a 2:2 draw game against Benin.
In a post-match press conference after the game, Coach Appiah noted that, he had so much confidence in his team heading into the next games.
"I have enough confidence in my team, despite our draw in the opening game.
"Ghana for some years does not get a good start in competitions, but like I said, any team playing with 10 men in any game and competition is really difficult.
"We are done with the first game and have to put that behind us and prepare for Cameroon.
"We are going to give Cameroon a really good game come Saturday and i am sure we will end victors," he concluded.
The former Asante Kotoko and Black Stars defender noted that in modern football, there are no minnows or underdogs, hence he does not underrate any team ahead of a game.
"There are no minnows in football again because each country that has qualified for the continental showpiece deserve it so i don’t underrate any team going into a tournament, because any team that has qualified means the team is really strong".

AKWASI LET YOUR GUYS APPROACH THE GAME WITH ALL THE SERIOUSNESS THERE IS. THEY SHOULD AVOID THE MISTAKES OF CONCEDING A FIRST GOAL IN THE EARLY MINUTES-IT DAMPENED OUR SPIRITS.IT HAPPENED WITH USA DURING THE WC AND IT REPEATED DURING THE RECENT GANE WITH BENIN.ITS BAD FOR OUR NATIONAL TEAM. ALL IN ALL WE PRAY FOR A DIE HARD WIN ON SATURDAY. GOOD LUCK MY MAN FROM THE 80S( SOUTH-SUNTRESO i.e OSEI KOJO BUDDY )
Kwesi Appiah ,hear this, there is a soothsayer in Ghana who wants 66 doves, 1 female camel and 19 sheep to perform some rituals to enable Ghana lift the cup,tell your players to contribute 1,000.00 dollars each from the 23,000.00 dollars advance given them to be handed over this mallam and lets see the results, if i had enough money i will get all these animals requested just to see if mallams and pastors,some even call themselves angels are truthful to Ghanaians, so Kennedy Agyapong, Osei Kwame Despite, Mcdan, Global Haulage company, Da ri Salaam group of companies, please come to Ghana's aid and let's test this Mallam, this is a good time for the test
Please if you play a bad game and still win ,we want it,not necessarily a good game,tell your players to get ready to refund the 23,000.00 dollars each if cameroon beats them,we need money for other important things, if you fail this time we will try, Moahammed Polo,Mohammed Odoom, Addae Kyenkyenhene, Opoku Nti,Ernest Appau,Hesse Odamtten, John Bannerman, Yaya Kassim,Mohammed Choo, Abukari Damba,Opoku Afriyie,George Alhassan,Papa Arko, Opeele Aboagye, Ibrahim Meriga, Ahmed Dauda, Stanley Vanderpuye,etc, after all there is no age limit for the senior national team,who knows these squad can bring us the cup
We need a result, I mean to win the match any means possible, not just a good game
One of Kwesi Appiah's major problem is that he still doesn't have a first eleven and as such still experimenting.
So the Black Stars did not approach the match with Benin the seriousness and aggression it deserved ? We won even before the play ? There are minnows in today's football. What's the guarantee that we will win even against Guinea-Bissau ?
Are you going to win or to give Cameroon a good game? Please, sack nana addo if he will be at your camp.
