“They are technically a very good team and obviously with Portuguese influence and a lot of good technical players so I am in no doubt that they are strong and tough opposition so we have to plan for that as we will do for any opposition.”

“But certainly they have the capabilities and very much aware that they can cause us a lot of problem and we have to be prepared for that.”

The game against Angola  today at the Baba Yara Sport Stadium will be Chris Hughton’s  first as the Black Stars coach.
