"It’s possible [Ghana v France in the final]. The Ghanaian team and Ghanaian fans have the ambition of winning the World Cup. When I look at the Ghanaian group, it’s possible that they can qualify [to the next stage]. It is an opportunity for the players and the country to show their quality.
“I see that in Ghana there is a possibility [of reaching the final]. I know that this country has quality players. We see the capabilities of these crop of players. The Black Stars have already made the world cup three times. Definitely the final is a bit complicated.”

David Trezeguet won the World Cup with France in 1998 as a 20-year-old before making it to another final in 2006.

Meanwhile, Ghana have been drawn in Group H alongside Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay in the upcoming World Cup.
