World Cup 2010: Ghana coach identifies Germany flaws

Published on: 22 June 2010

Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac claims his side holds the aces to progress from Group D after diagnosing his opponents on Wednesday, Germany, have psychological problems.

Germany must win to guarantee they advance to the next round and a draw will favour Ghana irrespective of the outcome of the other final Group match between Serbia and Australia.

"The only thing I can mention is they (Germany) might have some psychological problems because it is a decisive game for the Germans. It is a final game for Germany. I'll have to see how these weaknesses are reflected on the pitch." Rajevac said at press conference on Tuesday.

Ghana remain Africa's remaining hopes after the elimination of host nation South Africa and giants Cameroon and Nigeria while Ivory Coast and Algeria need a miracle.

"Of course it is good for us. We are happy to be in this position. It also means it is an obligation for us if we have to advance to the next stage, but it does not add any pressure," Rajevac added.

"But we have a real chance and there is a strong sense of belief in this team."

Ghana were the only African representative that qualified to the knock-out stage at the last tournament in Germany four years ago.
