Aduana Stars coach Yusif Abubakar says his players are in top shape for their CAF Champions League opener against Libyan side Al Tahaddy.
The Ghanaian champions travel to Egypt-where the match will be played-on Thursday.
''They are ever ready and you look at their motivation and some of the actions of the players- their emotional aspect of it, they are well prepared, they are ready,'' he said in a TV interview.
''And they have self motivation that I could see from the body language that they eager to give off their best.
''The only problem I have with them concerning their readiness is that the expectation at this point too high.
''All Ghanaians want us to go far because of the problems we (Ghana) use to have in such competitions.''
