Avram Grant: 'Ghana are fully motivated for Africa Cup of Nations final'

Ghana coach Avram Grant has insisted that his side does not need any more motivation ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations final against the Ivory Coast.

The Black Stars have written off critics this tournament by pushing into the showpiece's final, where they will be looking to enact footballing revenge against the side who beat them to the 1992 trophy in Dakar.

"They are very motivated, they do not need any speeches because we have come a long way as nobody gave us a chance. They will show this on Sunday," said Grant, according to FIFA.com.

"We have improved with every game. Algeria and Senegal were considered better than us and this was a challenge for us.

"There is one more challenge, the last one in this tournament. They [Ghana] know how to fight and play football."

Ghana's semi-final clash was marred by crowd trouble as Grant's men secured a comfortable 3-0 win over hosts Equatorial Guinea.
