Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan insists the excellent team work in the Black Stars will make them excel in the World Cup despite the absence of key midfielder Michael Essien.
With 17 goals in 32 international appearances, Gyan has one of the best strike rates of the forwards going into the World Cup finals.
The team will have to depend on Gyan heavily if it is going to meet its expectations.
Gyan, however, believes that the team has always found ways to unite behind each other and proved that during the African Cup of Nations where the made the finals without several injured players.
"We have a round team. I'll take you back to Angola [during the African Cup of Nations], we lost some players but the team was able to make the final. As a [healthy] group we are ok but we lost [Essien] so we just have to concentrate on the future."
Gyan believes that his team will surprise many as it will have a great advantage playing behind the support of an entire continent.
The 24-year old forward, who currently plays for Ligue 1 side Rennes, cautions other teams in the World Cup that the loss of one player will not break his team.
"The Ghana team, we are united. We don't put anyone ahead of anyone, we are a team. When we are on the field, we play our [style of] football. For us that is the most important thing. We make sure that we don’t put pressure on [any individual]."
Ghana will play Serbia, Australia and Germany in Group D of the tournament.
