Former Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac is confident the Black Stars will make it past of the group stage at the 2014 World Cup despite being drawn against Germany, Portugal and the USA.

Ghana is determined to make a stronger impact at its third successive finals later this year in Brazil.

The Black Stars must however first manage to get past a tough Group G where they will be facing Germany, Portugal and USA.

And the Serbian trainer who could be returning to the Black Stars team as a technical advisor believes Ghana has a much better all-round team that is capable of making out of the tough group.

“Ghana were able to beat USA in South Africa and played perhaps their best World Cup game against Germany, despite losing by a goal to nil,” Rajevac said.

“They find themselves in a very though group, but I think they will make it into the next stage of the competition.”

The 60-year-old who led Ghana to an impressive quarter final finish at the last World Cup in South Africa believes the Black Stars team is strong enough to deal with huge threat of Portugal’s game-changer Cristiano Ronaldo.

“Ghana is a better team than Portugal, but they have a big man in Cristiano Ronaldo. The Ghana team plays with much cohesion.”

The former coach of Qatar was in the stands on Wednesday when Ghana lost 1-0 to Montenegro in an international friendly played in Podgorica.
