Zokora ready for Muntari

Tottenham midfielder Didier Zokora is looking forward to the midfield duel he is expecting with Portsmouth midfielder Sulley Muntari. Muntari has been in outstanding form, and Zokora is ready to take on the challenge.

He said on the club’s official website: “Muntari is a big player. He’s in midfield and in my position. He has a great shot with his left foot.

“It is my job to stop him and I want to win that challenge. If you win the challenge in midfield, you win the game - it’s like a mini-game within the match.”

He added: “The team is confident, we've had good results against Anderlecht and Manchester City and mentally, that’s good news. The players are ready for Portsmouth and we are ready to play again.”
