The head coach of the Ugandan national team Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic is wary of the threat Ghana poses despite the absence of a host of key players.
The Black Stars come up against the Cranes of Uganda in an AFCON 2015 qualifier this weekend without the likes of Captain Asamoah Gyan, Kwadwo Asamoah[injury] and Jordan Ayew [suspension].
But Micho is not willing to be drawn into thinking his team will have a much easier task with these absences.
“I can’t say that because we beat Ethiopia, it’s a given that we are going to beat Ghana. The two are different games and the two teams have distinct football philosophies. We have to keep our guard up,” Micho told the Observer.
“After just one lapse in concentration against Togo home and away, we lost 1-0 in each game. Now, I expect the players to have realized that and I have emphasized it in training that we never repeat it. It isn’t important that we even dwell on who Ghana is going to miss or not.”
“Ghana has so many good players that can replace the injured ones in case they are there. But most importantly, we should concentrate on how we can improve and do well.”
