Cairo, Oct. 12, GNA - The Hungarian coach, Sandor Egervari says he expects Ghana's Satellites to provide his charges their toughest test yet when both teams meet in an envisaged grueling semi-final duel at the Cairo International Stadium on Tuesday.
The disciplined Hungary side has travelled on the wings of vigour this far and the coach insists "we have prepared scrupulously for this match because we know the quality of Ghana since they have been one of the best teams in the tournament so far."
Hungary will be without their suspended captain, Vladimir Koman and losing the player against the African Champions could further complicate their game plans. Coach Egervari told GNA Sports in Cairo that, "we are really expecting a very tough match and my boys will have to be strong mentally. My players will have to keep their focus during the match and expect them to show their true potential once more."
The coach will watch the match from the stands after he picked a red card in their last game against Italy but insists "I will once again issue instructions to the players through the technical bench and tell my boys to keep possession and create chances for a win."
Ghana, tagged by pundits as an adventurous side must topple their disciplined opponents from Hungary at the Cairo International Stadium to gain any realistic chance of emerging as the first African country to win the competition.
