Ghana legend Abedi Pele Ayew thinks the Black Stars will triumph in their Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash against arch-rivals Nigeria."We have the men who will stand up and be counted on the day - that's where we have the edge," Ayew told BBC Sport.Nigeria take on the hosts in Accra on Sunday with history on their side after a decade of dominance in big events.However, Ayew is not worried: "Nigeria have doubts.They stumbled against Mali and Ivory Coast and they will again."Ayew knows all about the pressure surrounding the clash of these two powerhouses of African football.The three-time African Player of the Year and former captain of Ghana helped his side to an epic victory over the Super Eagles in the semi-finals of the 1992 Nations Cup.An inspirational performance and goal from the man dubbed 'Pele' led the Black Stars to a 2-1 victory after they had gone behind early in the first half.
