Swaziland not worried about star-studded Ghana

Published on: 06 August 2010

Following Ghana’s move to announce a star - studded squad that is likely to face Swaziland’s in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Qualifier next month, interim head coach, Musa ‘Magic’ Zwane says he is not worried at all. The South Africa 2010 FIFA World Cup quarterfinalists, Ghana, have retained some of the key players that hoisted both the Ghanaian and African flags high in the recently concluded global showpiece.

Ghana will play South’s Africa’s Bafana Bafana on Wednesday in preparation of the epic clash against Sihlangu on September 5 at Somhlolo Stadium. Zwane said he was more concerned about transforming the national team into a well-oiled machine than the opponents. “Ghana is not an issue for now. My full focus is on my team. I wouldn’t like to comment on the Ghanaian squad,” Zwane said. Unlike his coach, Sihlangu captain, Mxolisi ‘Stopper’ Mtsetfwa was willing to comment about their opponents. “I think we’ll do well against the Black Stars of Ghana. The pressure will be on them as we will go into the match as underdogs. We’re a closed book to the Ghanaian side, so we ought to have to use that to our advantage,” the soft-spoken Mtsetfwa said. Swaziland national team known as, Sihlangu, is currently on camp at Mhlume Country Club in the Lubombo Region in preparation for their crunch game against Ghana to fight for a place in the 2012 AFCON to be co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
