No selection headache for Goran Stevanovic

Published on: 03 June 2011

Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic believes he has assembled the best players for Friday's 2012 Nations Cup clash against Congo in Kumasi but will have no difficulties in naming his starting line-up.

The former Partizan Belgrade boss held seven training sessions in Accra and Kumasi since last Thursday.

Stevanovic can boost of an impregnable midfield with players like Kevin-Prince Boateng, Michael Essien, Sulley Muntari and Kwadwo Asamoah.

He must blend a team with youngsters who have the credentials for highly competitive matches.

The Serb has depth in midfield with the availability of Michael Essien, Emmanuel Agyeman-Badu, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Sulley Muntari, Andre Ayew, Anthony Annan, Derek Boateng and Kwadwo Asamoah.

He must also pick a left-back from Lee Addy, Daniel Opare and David Addy.

But the 2006 Fifa World Cup assistant coach for Serbia has his eyes on the ball.

"It's impossible to start with 12 or 15 players. We have a good team and in modern football it's very important to have a good bench too and you will never know every game is a story for us.

"I'm very satisfied and I feel that a positive energy is in motion. I'm sure all Ghanaian people and the fans in Kumasi support us very well."

Stevanovic is yet to lose a match as coach of the 2010 Fifa World Cup quarter-finalists.
