Sellas Tetteh does not feel revenge must be a motivator when his charges face Egypt again in the final of the African Youth Championships on Saturday afternoon.
.
The two countries have already secured World Cup places already, and the attention is now fixed on continental glory in Algeria. Rabie Yassine is the coach of Egypt's Young Pharoahs.
.
"First of all, we have a lot of respect for Ghana and their football but we are ready to face them on Saturday and l have been working on my team and concentrating on what we need to do to win.
.
"We want to make our own history, we have our destiny in our own hands and I believe we can win this tournament. We are capable, we have what it takes to win," he said.
.
Meanwhile, Ghana are looking to avert a double loss against the same time in as many meetings in this tournament.
.
"It worries me when l hear such talk about being motivated by revenge, and wanting to get back at Egypt for that loss in the first game," Sellas said to Ghana's FA website.
.
"That match is in the past and our approach to the final is not based on a need to even things or any such intention. We are in a final and will play to win, regardless of what has happened before."
.
With three previous titles each, Ghana and Egypt are in for bragging rights too, at this level.
.
"By God's grace we shall see how the final goes but l believe this one is for us, they had theirs in the first game. We have come very far and we are looking forward to this match.
.
"These boys do not need any more motivation than being in the final. That alone is self-motivation enough to have made it this far , so we are going to work very hard to overcome and we are in high spirits, so God willing we shall be victorious."
