Gyan: “Anything can happen” in Cairo

Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has said the Black Stars must eschew complacency in Cairo and focus on a win, despite being at a pole position for Brazil 2014.

Gyan, who bagged a double in the 6-1 first-leg drubbing of Egypt in Kumasi, said the four-time African champions are anxious to register a third World Cup appearance.


“We’re desperate to get back to the World Cup, but we have to make sure we do things in the right way in the second leg,” the Al Ain striker told Fifa.com. “It’s football, so anything can happen.”

He added: “We’re in a comfortable position right now, but we need to totally focus on our job and make sure we do what we have to do to reach Brazil. We have to do things the right way in Cairo.”
