Egypt Coach Bob Bradley has told Ghana Sports that the first leg-tie of their 2014 World Cup play-off will decide whether Ghana or Egypt will qualify to Brazil 2014.
Ghana will host the first leg-tie against seven-time continental champions Egypt tomorrow at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
Bradley disclosed in an interview on Saturday when the Egyptian team arrived at the Kotoka International Airport.
“We’re prepared enough to qualify and it is equally important for Egypt to do something special on Tuesday. First leg, so it’s always important,” Bob Bradley said.
“We have talented players, we know Ghana have a good team and talented players also but Egypt have very good players also,” Bob affirmed.
According to the coach, first leg-tie always sets up everything even though is two leg-tie and that the Pharaohs are upbeat about their chances.
Bob believes Tuesday’s game will be a tough encounter.
“I think we have respect for Ghana and we come here to have a result. We know how our supporters have supported us and this game belongs to them.”
“Ghana knows Egypt have talented players and we will be in Kumasi to have a game. Egypt unrest situation won’t have any impact in the second leg-tie,” Bradley assured.
“My players have experienced the atmosphere in Kumasi, they know how the stadium is like,” he mentioned.
