Nairobi — Kenya's head coach Bennni McCarthy has warned that the team will not be an easy opponent, and is beaming with confidence that the team will be ready to compete with the rest of the continent at the Africa Nations Championship (CHAN), which starts in under three weeks.
The Harambee Stars have been drawn in a tough pool that also consists of two-time champions Morocco and DR Congo, as well as Angola and Zambia.
Speaking exclusively to Telecomasia.net, McCarthy believes that despite being in a tough pool, his players will show their worth.
"To win anything, you always have to beat the best. When you want to get to the top, you must always encounter these top teams. We are in a competitive group, and I am confident because we have gathered a squad that is hungry and wants success, and is ready to do exceptionally well," McCarthy told Telecomasia.
He added, "This will be a massive challenge and a good test for the boys, and I can very confidently say that by the time CHAN comes, we will have built a team that is not fearful of anyone."
Kenya opens its campaign against the DR Congo on August 3 at the Moi Sports Centre, Kasarani, and will look to sign in on a positive note in their debut at the competition.
