Settle bonus to avoid Brazil experience - Grant

Ghana coach Avram Grant has charged officials to deal with the bonus row within his team to avoid the recurrence of episodes that led to the sides slump at the 2014 World Cup.

The Black Stars players remain uncertain of the financial benefits they stand to gain in the 2018 World Cup qualifier against Comoros following moves by the Sports Ministry to slash their winning bonus.

Officials of the Sports Ministry and the Ghana FA are slated to hold a meeting with the playing body before the team emplanes for Moroni on Wednesday night to trash out all these outstanding issues.

And even though Avram Grant appears comfortable now with the undoubted commitment of his players, the former Chelsea boss is eager to have this issue resolves so as not to invoke the appalling experiences from the 2014 World Cup.

The word worried is not the right word but I came here to set new standards after what happened at the World Cup, he told reporters after Wednesdays final training session at the Accra Sports Stadium.

All I want is to prepare the team like any normal country but I dont think this has happened now.

It again reminds me of what happened at the World Cup, remember that in the African Cup I cannot say the organization was 100% but the players focused on the football like any normal country.

I didnt come here to say this is his fault because I know the national team in Ghana is to point the finger to say this is his fault. I want to find a solution.

My way is to find a solution and not to blame anybody so I hope they find a solution because one of the thing everybody know around the world now is the pressure is on the players so we need to give them the quiet.

And let us face the facts. The Fact is that since I arrived in the team over you cannot complain about one player who didnt give his 100%. The result is good, the atmosphere is good, they players are improving and we want to continue like this.

We need to be professional off the pitch and I hope that we find a solution for this.
