Seema said: "It's a new team and we have a new coach. The expectations are high and we are ready for the war in Gabon.
"We need to do well in the first game to prove to everybody that we are serious about qualifying for the Afcon in Angola and World Cup in South Africa. We are not under pressure because almost everyone is talking about Ghana in our group."
