Portsmouth's Ghana midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng is ready for abuse from Germany fans this week.

He has become a key figure in the Ghana midfield following the injury to Chelsea's Michael Essien.

Boateng is ready for a hot reception from the German fans before the match on Wednesday, especially after his experience at the pre-tournament training camp in Frankfurt.

"The German fans took lots of pictures and wanted autographs, and only a few fans insulted me," said Boateng.

"But one child took a picture with me and after the photo he asked for my name. I said 'Kevin-Prince Boateng' and he said 'Oh no!' and ran away."
