Ghana assistant manager Maxwell Konadu says his side are well-prepared to tackle Egypt's non-football tricks when both teams face off in the World Cup final qualifying playoffs. Konadu believes Egypt will be resorting to some delay tactics aiming at wasting time in the first leg, which will take place in Kumasi on October 13, as well as using similar maneuvers in the return leg. "I believe we will be able to account for them here. We know how they are like when playing away from home," Konadu told Hot FM. "They try to delay the game, instigate unnecessary debates with the referees, try to rattle the opposition with their delay tactics and all just to waste time. "But I believe we will be able to beat them here but for me the crucial point will be the away game there. "We have heard stories in the past of how they used to manipulate even the quality of hotels, food and even water for their opposition in away games but that is no more in play in modern football. "We also have ways of putting in such adequate preparations and therefore those tricks will no longer work on us. "The only thing to do is probably set lazer lights on our players during the match but I am sure our officials will deal with that quite adequately." The return leg will take place on October 15-19 in Egypt, as it remains to be seen which venue will be staging the crucial encounter amid the ongoing turmoil in the North African country.
