Head Coach of Ghana\u2019s Black Stars, Goran Stevanovic intends to play Sunderland\u2019s marksman, Asamoah Gyan at the top when he begins work on February 1.
\nThe Serbian says systems per se \u201cdo not play football; it is the players that make the systems work\u201d, but insists Gyan is capable of serving Ghana better playing alone in attack.
\nStevanovic loves 4-1-4-1 and 4-5-1 systems which will have the Sunderland striker play as the lone attacker but the coach is hoping Gyan\u2019s efficiency will improve with a compact midfield.\u201cWe have to dominate the midfield and play more attacking while cautious with defending. That way we will be winning the trophies again. The time to win the trophies is now.\u201d
\nThe Coach said he has enough quality in the team to deliver, claiming his only challenge will be motivating the players to believe in themselves again.\u201cAll I have to do is to motivate the players and that is a difficult challenge because the players have achieved so much already. \u201cI will have to make them understand that it is okay to be second, third, fourth or even fifth but truly, we all gather to be first and that is what we must fight for.\u201d
\nStevanovic who is on 30,000 pounds a month salary becomes the third Serbian to manage the Black Stars in six years span.Stevanovic, a Yugoslav international spent most of his playing career at Partizan Belgrade before spells at Clubs in Spain, Portugal and Greece and also coached Partizan Belgrade to the Serbian League title last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
