Tony Yeboah wants Ghana to be serious with England

Ex-Ghana striker Anthony believes the quest of the new generation of English players to impress manager Fabio Capello could prove disastrous for Ghana ahead of tonight’s friendly.

The Italian manager has made wholesome changes to the squad that will battle the Black Stars at Wembley on Tuesday night.

Chelsea trio John Terry, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole have been released to join their club while hot-stop Wayne Rooney and Michael Dawson have teamed up with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur to prepare adequately for next week’s Uefa Champions League quarter-final fixtures.

The former Leeds United striker claims Capello’s troops could be full of surprises.

“It’s even more dangerous if we play with such names because they’ll be keen to impress the coach and get a place in the team and that for me is very worrying,” Yeboah said.

“The likes of Rooney and co know their positions in the team are guaranteed and so player who get the chance to replace them will give more than 100% and that’s where we have to be very careful not to be deceived.”

Capello has claimed in the past days he is willing to disrupt England’s momentum from the win in Cardiff, as well as frustrating the sell-out crowd who have paid to see their country’s stars, because he doesn’t want key players injured at a crucial time for their clubs.
