Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari believes his team can reach the World Cup semi-finals despite the absence of injured Michael Essien. “After what we did in 2006 (when Ghana reached the second phase of the World Cup ), expectations are sky-high and we will try to satisfy our supporters by giving it our absolute best shot,” said the Inter Milan star. “We want to get out of our group and get to the semi-finals or even further,” said Muntari. “Germany are the group favourites and so it will doubtless come down to Serbia – we don’t know quite what to expect against them, but we know they are a good team. Our goal is to produce good football,” said Muntari. Meanwhile, the Ghanaians have switched their headquarters from Pretoria to Sun City just outside Rustenburg citing unspecified “unresolved technical problems.” Later on Wednesday, Ghana defeated a local youth side 4-0 with all the players, barring Muntari and Kwodwo Asamoah, taking part. Ghana’s Serbian coach Milovan Rajevac has set his sights on the second round. “The most important thing is for us to qualify for the last 16. We have a reputation for starting tournaments slowly, but I believe that’s a thing of the past.” Rajevac is looking forward to facing his own country of Serbia in the first match. “I am 100 per cent Ghanaian. I am a professional, my primary target is to win against Serbia and to qualify.” Source: Ghanasoccernet.com
