The Ghana FA say "doing well" is fine, but Asamoah Gyan wants more from Afcon 2015.
Newly appointed coach, Avram Grant, has been told that winning the trophy would be unrealistic, but the Black Stars skipper is still bullish.
"We are going to Equatorial Guinea to win the trophy. It is the attitude we go to every tournament with," Gyan says.
Going into his second African Cup as captain, the Al Ain striker knows plenty will rely on himself and teammates; and not just the new boss.
"A lot will depend on us, the players, and hopefully we can make things easy for the new coach. Our main focus is to lift the cup. It is not all about me but it is all about the team."
"Even if I don't get the tournament I want and Ghana wins the cup I will be proud. That is what we are preparing for."
Group C toughness
With an in-form Bafana Bafana, a rising Senegal and standout favorites Algeria, the captain understands the enormity of the job.
"All three countries in our group are in very good form," he added in the same interview to the BBC.
"South Africa did not lose a single game and Algeria have been very, very good. They are all looking great and that will make the tournament very difficult for us but we are confident."
Ghana is waiting for a first trophy in 33 years.
