Africa-Press<\/a> – Ghana<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Black Stars boss shared his thoughts on the Bafana coach’s comments about their desire to qualify ahead of the Black stars Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac believes the pitch will be the ultimate decider on who qualifies between the Black Stars and Hugo Broos\u2019 South Africa for the next round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.<\/p>\n

The two teams are in a fierce battle for the sole qualifying ticket from Group G, with South Africa currently sitting one point above the Black Stars at the top of the table with 10 points.<\/p>\n

Next month, the group heads to its final moments with Bafana and the Black Stars set for a final matchday showdown in Ghana, a game that will most likely decide the group.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is normal because everybody wants to win so statements are statements and the pitch is a pitch,\u201d Rajevac said on Monday in response to a recent remark of Broos highlighting South Africa\u2019s eagerness to \u201cfight until death\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before their final day showdown, Ghana will take on third-placed Ethiopia on the penultimate matchday next month, the same day South Africa welcomes rock-bottom Zimbabwe for an encounter in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese two victories will mean nothing if we don\u2019t deliver a good performance and result in the next match.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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.\u201d The Ghana coach then referred to Bafana Bafana’s victories against Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were monitoring the situation [of the other group games] of course but we were thinking primarily of ourselves because everything was in our hands and we depended on ourselves, so the moment we win successfully, we don\u2019t focus on the other team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rajevac was appointed Ghana coach last month, replacing CK Akonnor after the Black Stars lost 1-0 away to South Africa in their matchday two meeting in June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
