Ghana coach Stevanovic in Serbia to watch top clash

Published on: 06 April 2011

Coach Goran Stevanovic has arrived in Belgrade to watch Wednesday’s Serbian FA Cup semi final clash with four Ghanaians likely to be in action.

The Black Stars trainer is in his country as he continue to monitor players for the Ghana national team’s future matches.

The clash between the Belgrade arch rivals of Red Star and Partizan on Wednesday is expected to be fiery with a place in the Serbian Cup final is at stake.

The focus is on the four Ghanaians who are eligible to play for the two sides with Prince Tagoe and Dominic Adiyiah for Partizan Belgrade while Lee Addy and Issah Awal play for Red Star.

All the four players are part of the Black Stars apart from Issah.

Ghana coach Stevanovic says he would like to see all the four Ghanaian players in action.

''I would like all our four players in action including Issah, to see them in action the greatest competition in Serbia,” Stevanovic told the local press in Belgrade.

“It is part of my duty as the Ghana coach to monitor our players anywhere in the world and see how they can feature in my future plans.

Partizan, the reigning champions, are going into the second leg with a 2-0 aggregate lead from the first match on their own turf, as Cup defenders Red Star gear themselves up for a mammoth task in the home fixture.

Tagoe is the man to watch by Red Star defenders after scoring both goals in the first leg of the clash.

While their attention will be focused on Tagoe, in-form Adiyiah will be waiting in the wings to pounce as he could also damage the former European champions.

Lee Addy is unlikely to play for Red Stars after a massive falling out with the team over his late arrival from international break but Awal is more likely to feature.
