Ghana Coach Milovan Rajevac: I Will Not Take It Easy On Serbia
The Black Stars’ Serbian coach does not see why he should put his job on the line for his own country…
Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac has rubbished reports in the media stating that he is going to take it easy on Serbia in their World Cup group match in the summer.
"Some media in Ghana have sunk into complete euphoria after we qualified for the World Cup and suggest that I may not be fully committed to beating Serbia when we clash.
"That is complete nonsense, I can understand their passion but they should think again because I am not going there to give away matches, we want to at least emulate the 2006 success when Ghana reached the last 16 under fellow Serb Ratomir Dujkovic,” the 55-year-old told Reuters.
The two countries lock horns in Pretoria, South Africa on June 13 and the outcome might decide the top-two finish in a tight group that includes Germany and Australia.
"Of course I wish Serbia all the best and I will be a very happy man if both teams go through to the knockout rounds and reach the final, which is also theoretically possible.
"It is going to be tough for both teams to get past the group stage though, because Germany are the favourites while Australia are no pushovers either."
The Serbian manager made history by qualifying the West African side to South Africa 2010 without conceding a goal.
