Head coach for the Black Stars, Milovan Rajevac has lamented over the world’s football governing body, FIFA’s decision to allow clubs for not releasing the African players for the upcoming AFCON.
The coach is worried about how his foreign-based players were delayed for arrival during their preparations in Qatar for the tournament and still Ajax are yet to release Kudus Mohammed.
Speaking after their 3-0 defeat to Algeria in a test game the Serbian tactician lamented, “Unfortunately this decision from FIFA to allow players to stay in their clubs in this period affected our plans for the preparation since most of the time we didn’t have many players to work with. Many training sessions we had 7 or 8 players and 3 goalkeepers so it’s very difficult to do some tactical work to prepare the team the way we planned in the beginning.”
Milovan is aiming to end Ghana’s 40-years trophy drought as they go in for a fifthly AFCON title.
The team will start the journey against Morocco on coming Monday in the group opener.
