Dujkovic yearn for scoring magic on Saturday

Wurzburg, June 14, GNA - Ratomir Djukovic is yearning for the return of the goal scoring magic that deserted the team during their World Cup opener against Italy last Monday when they come up against Czech Republic of Saturday in their second group E game.

"I'm hoping the boys can find the net like they did against South Korea and others during our build up.


The Black Stars trainer said the team had been rehearsing on how best the midfield could complement the attack to score goals in the game, which the Ghanaians must win to ensure they progress in the competition.


"We are working hard to create fluidity between the midfielders and attackers in order to ensure that all scoring chances created are converted."


The coach maintained the team would make it to the last four but reckoned that the task could only be achieved if the Stars succeeded in beating the Czechs and the United States of America (USA) to advance to the next stage.


Coach Dujkovic said, he would be expecting his charges to put up the a spirited and committed performance as they did against the Azzuris to grab the three points at stake in their next game which he said, would make all the difference.

The Czechs will be without two of their influential players, Milan Baros and Jan Kollar who scored in their opener against the Americans but Djukovic maintained their opponents would be strong even without the duo.


"They have a very strong team that can disturb any team in the world. Our strategy will be to fight them near and far to enable us to win the game".


He said he had great confidence in the Stars and was sure about their chances in the competition.


Coach Doya is expected to parade the same squad he used against Italy against the Czechs baring any last minute hitches.
