Ghana coach, Claude Le Roy says his team has come to the difficult part of the African Cup of Nations campaign as the Black Stars remain one game away from the finals.

The semi-final is the difficult curve that Le Roy and his charges would be trying to navigate past smoothly on Thursday when Ghana meet Cameroon at the Ohene Djan Stadium.

Twenty years ago, Le Roy went through this passage, guiding his opponents for tomorrow’s game to the final and even claiming the title.

On Thursday, Claude Le Roy will attempt reaching another final as he did years back with his “heroes”.

"In every big competition, the hardest part is always the semi-final," the Ghana coach told reporters after the Black Stars' training session in Accra.

"Remember the 1988 Nations Cup: Morocco, who hosted the tournament, lost to Cameroon in the semis and at the last World Cup, (hosts) Germany thought they had done the hardest part but eventually lost in semi-final," Le Roy added.

"The semi-final is always the most difficult step to climb."

And as his Black Stars team plays Cameroon, a team that brought Le Roy his first Nations Cup success in 1988, he says there would be no room for feelings during tomorrow’s game.

"I will put my feelings aside during the 90 minutes. I've had great times with Cameroon but I am now the Ghana coach," he said.

"Feelings will be for before and after the match."

Ghana play Cameroon at Ohene Djan stadium on Thursday in the first semi-final game of the tournament. The game kicks off at 1700 GMT.
