Head coach of the Black Stars of Ghana, Milovan Rajevac has replied to comments made by South Africa’s Broos that his side will fight to death in a bid to secure a place in Qatar next year.

With just a point separating South Africa and Ghana in the 2022 Qatar World Cup qualifiers, South Africa’s head coach Broos was quizzed about his side’s preparedness in facing Ghana for what will be a potential decider for the group winner.

The head coach replied: “If the situation is what it is now, and we go to Ghana one point ahead, Ghana will have to win the game, they will have no other solution.”

“So maybe we can do something there. With the match against Sudan in mind from some months ago, that can never happen anymore. We will fight until we die, then we will see”.

Broos’ comments however does not faze the head coach of the Black Stars who branded the comments as ‘normal’ in a response on monday.

“This is normal because everybody wants to win so statements are statements and the pitch is a pitch,” Rajevac

“We feel the same motivation and I think we are even hungrier for success so we have strong faith in our capabilities and in our unity and know what is at stake so we will do anything in our power to win these matches and go to the next stage.”

“Now our complete focus is on our next two matches which are very important and as I say, every next match is the most important one.

“These two victories will mean nothing if we don’t deliver a good performance and result in the next match.

“Our focus is completely on those matches and it is going to be a short time in camp but we will prepare well and we are in the process of preparing the camp.

“We have the support from everyone around and we hope everything goes well and achieve our target which is winning the next two matches and qualify for the final round.”

The Black Stars of Ghana play Ethiopia on 11th November 2021  before hosting South Africa in Ghana three days later.
