Ghana winger Christian Atsu insists the Black Stars are not intimidated by Algeria’s fine form at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Black Stars must beat the current Group C leaders, who beat South Africa in their opener, to revive their campaign.

Ghana were outplayed by Senegal on Monday as they let in a late goal to lose 2-1 in Mongomo.

Atsu believes his side will come good against Les Fennecs.

“Algeria are a very good team. We know that they have very good individuals who are playing in great clubs, but it doesn’t mean anything,” the on-loan Everton player told lebuteur.com

“They managed to beat South Africa which means that they are a strong side even if they showed some weaknesses that make us feel that they are within our reach.

“After their opening victory, they have a psychological advantage, but I don’t think the game will be easy for the Algerians. I am convinced that they are afraid of us. We are Ghana.

“It is going to be a tough battle against a great Algerian side who took an option for the qualification. It is clear that we are going to face a team who are doing well with strong individuals. But we don’t fear Algeria.

“We will fight to the end because we must win, we have no other choice if we want to qualify.”
