“The Russia team is new because only seven of the players that played the Euros are still with the squad. They have a new coach and have played only one game so far under him.
“I watched that game against Turkey and I know they have a good team,” he added.
Ghana played the Amavubi on Saturday before leaving for Russia for the friendly which comes off tonight.
