    Ghana coach Milovan Rajevic said he is cautiously optimistic about the chances of the Black Stars as they get set to clash with West African rivals Nigeria in Thursday's semi-final game. He said the game is unpredictable and cannot judge the Nigerians on their performance against Zambia.

    He conceded at a news conference that the Super Eagles side is an experienced one as compared to the Ghanaians.

    "Though they did not play so well in the game against Zambia, it will be a big mistake to conclude that they will repeat the same performance in the next game against Ghana.

    "We have to be cautious in the game and execute our strategy with the needed perfection," Coach Rajevac said.

    He added: “Cote d'Ivoire did not play well against Burkina Faso in their first game but you all saw what they did when we met them in the second game.”

    The 55-year-old said his blend of both young and experience players would yield positive results for his team.

    "The mixture is an excellent one and they are poised to deliver on Thursday. We have just a day to round up our plans for the match and I'm confident victory will be ours.

    "It is not possible to play a competition with one game plan, because every opponent comes with different challenges and you will need to vary your game all the time," he said concerning his formation.

    He revealed that midfielder Anthony Annan is likely to take up a role in the game because he has seen massive improvement after he recovered from his thigh injury.
