Ghana coach, Otto Addo is confident his side can beat any African opposition if they get their right rhythm.
Addo, who has been reappointed as the head coach of the senior national team on a 34-month deal made these remarks ahead of his side's one of the two friendly games against Nigeria.
The Black Stars, who can brag of quality and energetic players have been poor and uninspiring in recent games. The team came under massive scrutiny and criticism after they suffered a second consecutive Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) phase elimination.
However, the 43-year-old speaking in an interview said there are no more minors but remains optimistic that when they are well prepared with the right strength, the Black Stars can beat any African side with the quality they have.
"No, I think this is the reality that the countries have moved closer together," he told the Ghana FA website.
"There is no so-called lower team that you win by five or six goals to zero. All the teams have adapted to a high level and for that, we need to be better prepared and aware of their strength and if we can find solutions to their style of play then I know that with the quality that we have coupled with the young players, we will be hard to beat.
"Once that is done, in Africa we can beat anyone," he added.
The game against Nigeria has scheduled to kick off at 16:00GMT at the Stade de Marrakesh. The Black Stars will wrap up their games against the Cranes of Uganda on March 26.
