Zambia head coach Dario Bonetti has sent a strong signal to Ghana ahead of the 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifiers by saying he will not take opponents for granted. Zambia are in Group D together with Sudan and 2010 World Cup quarterfinalists Ghana and also await a third opponent from this November�s preliminary round two-legged tie between Burundi and Lesotho. Bonetti said in his first official statement on the draws on Wednesday during a press briefing at Football House in Lusaka that both Sudan and Ghana would prove to worthy opponents. �I am not going to take any of the teams for granted. They are all going to be difficult games and we will treat them all the same,� the Italian said. �The same difficult that Ghana could face with one team we could also suffer with the another team. �Technically and physically all the teams are very organized the difference is how mentally ready the players are to play those games. �The Sudan is good and their club football is strong so it is very competitive group yes a very tough group. I believe one of the toughest.� Meanwhile, Bonetti also revealed that he has recalled veteran midfielder Andrew Sinkala of promoted German Bundesliga side Augsburg for Zambia�s 2012 Africa Cup Group C qualifier away to Comoros on September 4. �Zambia needs players of that caliber that has playing at that level in top football for a long time with experience, discipline and positive attitude,� Bonetti said.
