Despite being confident, Otto believes his side will not be in for revenge against the South American, who painfully eliminated Ghana in the quarter-final of the 2010 World Cup.
Speaking after his side's 3-2 win against South Korea, he said he does not think about revenge.
“It will be very difficult, but I am confident to know that we can win this game. I’m not a guy that thinks much of revenge," he said at the post-match.

The German-trained gaffer said he instinctively feels Ghana will win and need not complete it by thinking of revenge.
“It was a really, really long time ago that this incident happened and I am a strong believer that if you don’t seek too much revenge on this kind of thing sometimes you get the blessings.”
Otto Addo became the first Ghanaian coach to win a match at the World Cup after yesterday’s game.
