Ferrín: Ready to entertain

Angola manager Gustavo Ferrín insists that he is not concerned that his side may be on the receiving end of some harsh refereeing decisions when they face hosts South Africa in an Africa Cup of Nations Group A clash on Wednesday.

With Bafana Bafana in desperate need of a win and a partisan home crowd expected to fill the Moses Mabhida Stadium, there have been suggestions from some corners that referee Koman Coulibaly may be under pressure to err on the side of blowing in favour of the South Africans.

The experienced official from Mali is no stranger to pressure and Ferrín believes that the game will not be tainted by bad decisions.

"I don't believe South Africa will receive protection," said the Argentinean.

"Because it is a game, it is a party, we are here to entertain. It is only a match and nothing beyond that.

"We are ready for an entertaining match and I believe South Africa are ready too."
