Zambia coach Renard Herve has warned his side not to underrate Ghana who will miss talisman Andre Ayew in next month’s 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier.
The Olympique Marseille ace has been ruled out of action due to a shoulder operation he underwent last month.
The 22-year-old gave goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene problems during February’s 2012 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final clash in which the Chipolopolo won 1-0.
But Herve-who was assistant Ghana coach in 2008-says the absence of the mercurial will not take anything away from the Black Stars who are eyeing revenge.
“This is a good thing for us but they (Ghana) have a lot of talent apart from Ayew. It will be a difficult game because they will also need points just like us,” he said.

First rule of war, give your opponent respect and that’s exactly what he is doing. He is doing the right thing.

@ chu. u need to watch the zambia ghana match again ad watch the saves kennedy made that day.
Thanx pals am going to watch that again
Ghanaians!!! this is how you were talking before Zambia beat you. wait. it seems you dont know Zambia. anyway Ghana is a good team.
This is a minds game the Zambian coach is playing on our minds. The only thing the Black Stars have to do is to remain focused and treat that match as a cup final.
Ghana v Zambia.no comment til then.
zambia are really ready to beat ghana,for constructing new stadium.pls ghana africa football is not about foreign base player.fight spiritiur battle with spirit.and physical battle physically.i see zambia beating ghana,becos africa football is for homebase players with little expirence foreign base player.look at egypt,libya,niger,tunisia,zambia.dat is why nigeria is building strong homebase players dat will include little foreign base.zambia will beat ghana except ghana include some homebase player like clottey and others.players like chris katongo is an expirence man,leading most zambia players dat plays for TP mazembe.
I CAN SEE A SHAKY GHANA IN THE FIRST HALF. AND IF ZAMBIA FAILS TO SCORE WITHIN THAT HALF THEN THEY ARE IN FOR TROUBLE
a qualifier is different 4rm a tornament.
Renard, Renard, Renard. Whether it is mind game or foot game you are playing with us, “wobedi wo Maame tw3″ this time around.
I think Christian Atsu Ernest Asante And Dennis Lartey all nee to be included in that squad for Ghana to beat Zambia.GO GHANA GO, GO BLACK STARS GO……
What is important is for Zambia to get prepared.
