Opponent watch: Algeria stars say they don't feel AFCON pressure but wary of Ghana threat

Algeria's Afcon 2015 stars say they do not feel pressure and also hint that Ghana will be their toughest challenge in Group C of the tournament.

The 2015 instalment of the African Nations Cup kicks off on January 17 in Equatorial Guinea and Algeria, Ghana, Senegal and South Africa make up the tournament's toughest group.

Algerian right-back Aissa Mandi tells Le Buteur: "We know things won’t be easy in Equatorial Guinea, but we will have to adapt quickly to the conditions of the tournament.

"We are aware that the competition will be tough for the trophy, but we don’t feel any pressure despite our status of favourites. It will even help us to do our job well. We are confident and aware of our potential.”

One of the Algerians who impressed at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, left-back Faouzi Ghoulam, reserved a hint of praise for Ghana.

“We need to prepare well for the Afcon. We will do everything to have a successful Africa Cup. However, we need to be very wary of Ghana in the first round,” Ghoulam says.

Algeria is behaving like Egypt who claimed 100% qualifying record prior to meeting Ghana in the play offs for the world cup, and you all saw what happened! !!!!! Algeria faced weak opponents in the world cup and already they are hyped. The teams I respect are south Africa and Senegal - the passion in the squad no easy

Let the other Nations talk. Ghana has no competitor in this tournament. Not Algeria and definitely not Cameroon, south Africa or Zambia. Let them talk. We'll do the talking on the pitch. When we start with trashing Senegal, they'll start reducing the volume of their noise

Ghana ll beat Algeria as we have done to all north Africa opponents!! We have beaten then than any Africa nation from tuinisa, Libya, morrocco, Algeria and until recently Egypt! All that Ghana has to do, is to hold Algeria for the first 25 mins and from there on, GHANA AUTOMATICALLY REVERT BACK TO IYS TITLE AS HEAVYWEIGHT pushing the game whiles Algeria ll assumed its status as te underdog in the match!!
