Old boys Ghana start favourites
DAKAR, Senegal. Jan 25 : It will be African soccer's veterans against the new boys in Sunday's final of the African nations cup at the Amltle Stadium, reports AP.
For Ghana, tt Is seventh final appearance in the continent's showpiece, while the Ivory Coast will be playing in their first-ever final. The match also promises a stark contrast in style, pitting the aggression and physical play of Ghana's Black Stars against the cautious build-ups and technical sophistication of the Elephants of the Ivory Coast.
The whole event, though. Is clouded by the absence of African footballer-of-the-year. Abedl "Pele" Ayew. whose caution in Thursday's semifinal against Nigeria automatically rules him out of the game. It was the second yellow card of the tournament for Pele, and despite an official appeal by the Ghanaian Football Association. he will have to watch his country's bid for a record fifth African title from the sidelines.
Ayew had been the inspiration behind the youthful Ghanaian team, turning around their fortunes in the 2 1 semi final win over Nigeria and also scoring three goals tn the competition to be the joint leading striker with Rachidi Yeklni of Nigeria
Ghana's German coach Otto Pfister said: "We have a young and ambitious squad and we shall approach the final without any complexes about Pele's absence. The players will be determined to win for their own sakes and. of course, for Pele's."
"Obviously, we have suffered a severe blow in losing Pele. But we are not going to panic, we have a young team and they are capable of winning."
"We have been trying to provide a spectacle with our football not just for Africa, but for the rest of the world who are watching us on television. We need to show that African football is progressing, year by year, all the time."
Ghana, winners of the title In 1963. 1965. 1978 and 1982. have a reputation as The Brazil" of African soccer because of their individual skills. Improvisational play and attacking attitude.
In Pele's absence, greater responsibility is likely to fall on the shoulders of 17-year-old Anderlechtt forward Nil Lam-ptey. who has grown in authority throughout the tournament
Lamptey has been a pale shadow of his potential at this tournament, but Sunday's final presents the perfect stage to display his extraordinary ability There will be ample backing from German-based Anthony Yeboah and Tony Baffoc and prince Polley Opoku, whose scored the winning goal In the semifinals.
For the Ivorians, who triumphed In a post-match penalty shootout over Cameroon, there is a race against time to have both captain Saint Joseph Gadji-Cell and star striker Youssouf Fofana fit for the final. Both missed Thursday’s semifinal victory and are still doubtful for the final.
With Fofana. the Elephants complete one of the more potent forward line-ups in the competition, also comprising Joel Tiehi, of French 1st Division Club le Havre, and domestic-based Abdoulaye Traore. It was these three who demolished reigning African champions Algeria in their opening match in Zlgulnchor last week, but the Ivory Coast have been disappointing ever since.
For the future of African football, the match also carries enormous importance. It will be shown on television stations across Europe. South America. Asia and Australia, giving the continent the perfect opportunity to display its charismatic appeal to the rest of the world.
