Ghana has a crisis of confidence as they step onto the field Wednesday in South Africa to face 3 time World Champion Germany in a crucial group stage tie.The crisis does not lie in their opponents ,rather it lies with their coach Milo Rajevac.The coach's utterances after the match with his native Serbia gives us a clue as to what he wants to happen.
He did not celebrate after Ghana's victory as if expecting a different result. He even went as far as snobbing his assistant,Kwasi Appiah when he attempted to congratulate him.His excuse was that he did not celebrate as a sign of respect to Serbia.What would have better was to rejected his pay for the month in sympathy with his country.He should know who pays him and behave professionally.
Already there have been voices complaining about the conflict of interest Milo has engendered.Joe, a 45 year old Ghanaian says his actions speak louder than words. "He obviously wants Serbia to qualify ahead of Ghana. So he would do all in his power to achiweve that. Remember he picks the team"Zaire in 1974 lost 9-0 to Yugoslavia because their Yugoslav coach had a hand in their defeat because of the same conflict of interest.
Ghana's first president ,Kwame Nkrumah who founded the Black Stars would be confounded by our mentality now. Why would the Ghana Football Association[GFA] be prepared to pay Mr. Rajevac $45,000 and his Ghanaian assistant a $3,000 monthly pittance?How do you expect him to respect Africans or Ghanaians?It seems to the GFA favors expatriate coaches over our local coaches not because we lack excellent coaches but for that same mindset that foreign is always better even if they have no credentials to show.Osagyefo taught that we should be self-reliant and use our own resources,which was why Ghana became a beacon of Africa at that time.
If Ghana had recruited a Ghanaian coach she would not be in this crisis.because you can trust your own to do their best for you without being bothered by a possible betrayal.
I think Ghana must part ways with this coach after his contract expires because he does not serve their interest. They should consider how the United States decide to stick with an American,Bradley who has so far done exceptionally well with the material he has.There is nothing like using loyal people.Nigeria must be ruing their dismissal of Amodu Shuaibo who qualified them to the World Cup.
After all is said, our trust should be in God rather than men.
