“He’s clueless,” Ghanaian supporters in Cameroon slam Milovan; one threatens to shóót him after draw vs Gabon

The disappointed supporters poured out their frustrations following the Black Stars 1-1 stalemate with Gabon in the ongoing Afcon

Several disgruntled Ghanaian supporters in Cameroon poured out their frustrations about poor tactics and substitutions by Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac following the 1-1 draw with Gabon in Group C fixture of 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Black Stars took a deserving lead through Andre Ayew but Gabon left it late to equalise and broke the hearts of several Ghanaians who watched the game in the stadium and behind their television sets.

As a result, a popular Ghanaian supporter called Obour, who has followed the the Black Stars to major tournament insisted that the coach is poor and lacks the technical know-how to manage games.

The disgruntled supporter out of frustration added that he would’ve sacked the Serbian coach from the team’s camp and if possible shoot him if he had a gun.

“This coach is poor and not the best. Whenever I raise issues about him, they clap back at me that Obour is troublesome,” he said.

“The coach is very luck that there are police here to protect him or else I would’ve manhandled him. Because if him I’m not attending the last game of the group against Comoros.

“If I have gun right now, I would’ve shot him. I swear to God, he is breaking our hearts. The coach needs to be sacked,” he added.

“We have to start the calculations,” disappointed Asamoah Gyan on Ghana’s chances at 2021 Afcon

The former Black Stars skipper says the four-time champions have the slightest of opportunities to qualify but believes anything is possible in football

Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has admitted he was disappointed with the Black Stars’ 1-1 draw against Gabon in the second Group C game of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations ongoing in Cameroon.

The Black Stars after a brilliant start, thanks to Andre Ayew’s first half goal, went into sleeping after the break as Gabon drew even very later in the game.

Although, the Black Stars vehemently protested against the equaliser, the goal stood as the referee was adamant to their complaints.

“I’m not happy. To be honest I’m not happy with how Ghana played. I think Baba Iddrisu’s injury also affected the team because you could clearly see the Black Stars were struggling after his exit,” Gyan said, as quoted by AshesGyamera.com.

“We have to go back and start calculation. We need to calculate and see how we can qualify from the group. Ghana have a little chance because we have to defeat Comoros at all cost.

“I think Milovan should’ve brought on offensive players to kill off the game rather than wait and concede again like what happened against Morocco. Tactically, the Gabonese coach got it right. He saw something in Ghana’s team and exploited it,” he added.

Ghana now sit third on the Group C log with a point after two games, five points behind Morocco who lead the pack.

Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac has changed his starting line up that played against Morocco as the Black Stars face Gabon in second game of Group C on Friday, just like AshesGyamera.com reported earlier.

Swindon Town goalkeeper Jojo Wollacot has been kept in post due to his good performance against Morocco while the four defenders -Andy Yiadom, Baba Rahman, Alexander Djiku and Daniel Amartey- that started against Morocco will also play in today’s game.

However, Joseph Paintsil will start from the bench despite his fine performance against Morocco as Milovan seek to make some tactical changes.

Jordan Ayew who started as the lone striker against Morocco will now switch to the right wing to take over Paintsil’s place while Andre Ayew lead the attack as a false number nine.

Kamaldeen Sulemana will play from left wing like he did against Morocco while Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey and Baba Iddrisu take charge of the defensive midfield role.

St. Pauli midfielder Daniel Kofi Kyereh is expected to start his first game of the tournament by playing behind Andre Ayew.

Ghana are in dire need of three points in order to stand a realistic chance of qualifying to the next stage of the competition.

The Inshallah Boys suffered their second defeat in a row as Karela punished them in front of their home fans

King Faisal’s home dominance came to an end on Friday following a 2-0 defeat against Karela United at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Friday.

After losing 2-0 last weekend against Eleven Wonders in Techiman, Amadu Nurudeen was hoping to guide his men back to winning ways but it proved fruitless.

 After an opening quarter hour mark where both sides struggled to create decent chances, Atta Kusi nearly shot Fiasal ahead by the 19th minute after his powerful was cleared off the line.

Three minutes later, Karela took the lead through Umar Bashiru against the run of play. The former Asante Kotoko striker connected a back heel pass from Samuel Atta Kumi and calmly slotted in his last ditch effort beyond the reach of goalkeeper Frank Boateng.

 Six minutes later, Ebenezer Ocran also came close to add another goal but his effort was saved.

After the break, Karela added another goal after they were able to soak the pressure from Faisal.

Samuel Atta Kumi was brought down in King Faisal box and Bashiru stepped up to slot home the resulting kick by the 61st minute.
 

The defeat has left Faisal in third position with 23 points while Karela have moved seventh with 17 points.

The Serbian has opted to make some changes in his starting team that will face the Panthers in the make or break

Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac has opted to make some few changes in his squad that will face Gabon in Group C fixture of 2021 Africa Cup of Nations on Friday.

The Serbian is under pressure to grind results this time around after a poor start to the tournament.

Swindon Town goalkeeper Jojo Wollacot will maintain his place in post while the four defenders -Andy Yiadom, Baba Rahman, Alexander Djiku and Daniel Amartey- that started against Morocco will also play part of today’s game.

However, Joseph Paintsil is expected to start from the bench despite his fine performance against Morocco as Milovan seek to make some tactical changes.

Jordan Ayew who started as the lone striker against Morocco will now switch to the right wing to take over Paintsil’s place while Andre Ayew lead the attack as a false number nine.

Kamaldeen Sulemana will play from left wing like he did against Morocco while Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey and Baba Iddrisu take charge of the defensive midfield role.

St. Pauli midfielder Daniel Kofi Kyereh is expected to start his first game of the tournament by playing behind Andre Ayew.

“Thomas Partey can’t have a bad day against Gabon,” Tony Baffoe advises Arsenal star

The former Ghana international was at the team’s final training session ahead of the clash with the Panthers and has advised the Arsenal man to be at his best

Former Ghana international Anthony Baffoe has advised Arsenal midfielder Thomas Teye Partey to play above himself in the second game of Group C in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations against Gabon on Friday.

The Black Stars lost their opening game to Morocco and would need to win at all cost against Gabon to stand a realistic chance of progressing to the next round of the tournament.

Partey was a pale shadow of himself against Morocco and his mistake led to the only goal which resulted in Ghana’s defeat.

“Everyone must do his best against Gabon because we need a win no matter what,” Baffoe said.

“Partey, Amartey, Jordan, Jonathan Mensah must improve also. I’m mentioning your names because you guys have been in the team for long.

“And Partey in particular, You can’t allow yourself to have a bad day. It is not possible to have a bad day. Sweat for the nation, sweat for the flag of Ghana, sweat for your families,” he added.

Gabon captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been tested negative of Covid test result and will likely start the game against Ghana in Group C of 2021 Africa Cup of Nations holding in Cameroon on Friday, AshesGyamera can confirm.

The Arsenal striker missed Gabon’s opening game against Comoros after testing positive for coronavirus upon his arrival at Yaounde airport having spent time in Dubai.

Gabon, who were short of several key players including Lemina, Aubameyang, Axel Meye and Kevin Mayi, in the first game pipped tournament debutants Comoros to pip their first win thanks to Aaron Boupendza’s 16th-minute goal.

Quick Turn: Caf appoints Algerian Benbraham to officiate Ghana vs Gabon

The continent’s football governing body has confirmed the appointment of the Algerian referee to officiate the Black Stars second group game

Caf has confirmed that South African referee Victor Gomes will not officiate the Black Stars game against Gabon in second Group C game of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations holding in Cameroon.

Earlier on Thursday, reports were rife that Gomes will be in the centre of action which raised a lot of concerns particularly from Ghanaians as a result of recent legal tussle between Ghana FA and South Africa Football Association.

CAF has now confirmed that Algerian referee Lahlou Benbraham will officiate the clash in Yaounde.

The 36-year-old, who became a FIFA referee in 2017, has been ever present in Caf inter-club competitions.

He is not new to Ghana national teams but whenever he officiated a game involving Ghana, the West Africans fails to win.

He was in charge when Ghana shared the spoils 1-1 against Cameroon in 2019 Africa U23 Cup of Nations in 2019.

Also, Benbraham was in the centre of affairs when Ivory Coast defeated Ghana 3-2 to progress to the next stage of the competition.

With Ghana in dire need of three points against Gabon, the Black Stars would be hoping the jinx will break against Gabon.

Another defeat to Ghana will mean that the Black Stars will likely exit the competition earlier than expected.

Kick off is 7pm
