Black Stars trainer Milovan Rajevac does not expect his charges to have a stroll in the park performance against Sudan on Sunday. The Serbian guided the Stars to snatch a 0-2 win in Khartoum in the corresponding fixture played in June which saw them half the qualifiers unbeaten.
But Rajevac is without two players-Prince Tagoe and Kwadwo Asamoah-who helped in their fluid win. The 55-year-old wants his army to work their socks off for victory as he anticipates a stronger Nile Crocodiles side.
"It is definitely a very important match for us but it is not going to be easy," Rajevac, known affectionately as Milo told the Evening News. "We need to approach it correctly, we are very close to qualifying for the World Cup but we need to put in more effort.
"I want the players to be concentrated on this match and very focused. It is a big stake going to a World Cup. "I don't feel under so much pressure, we just need to think about achieving a good result from this match. That is the only thing I'm thinking about.
"Sudan are bottom of the table but they are a quality team who are going to fight. They have nothing to lose." He added: "They will be motivated because they are playing against Ghana and they still have a chance to qualify for the African Cup of Nations in Angola.
These are the reasons for them to come and try to achieve a good result tomorrow." "Every team that Ghana plays gives something extra. That's normal in football but we must be positive and ready to play."
