Milovan Rajevac has pledged his total commitment to Ghana's 2010 World Cup campaign and dispels the notion that he would do his native country, Serbia a favour when the Black Stars play the eastern European side in the opening game.Following last Friday's draw which pitted both sides in Group D, local commentators have suggested that Rajevac, himself a Serbian, faces a loyalty battle in the June 13 game in Pretoria.But the coach has played down such concerns saying the media is way off the mark with that line of thought as he aims to improve on Ghana's debut World Cup performance."Some media in Ghana have sunk into complete euphoria after we qualified for the World Cup and suggest that I may not be fully committed to beating Serbia when we clash," Rajevac told Reuters."That is complete nonsense, I can understand their passion but they should think again because I am not going there to give away matches, we want to at least emulate the 2006 success when Ghana reached the last 16 under fellow Serb Ratomir Dujkovic."Of course I wish Serbia all the best and I will be a very happy man if both teams go through to the knockout rounds and reach the final, which is also theoretically possible."It is going to be tough for both teams to get past the group stage though, because Germany are the favourites while Australia are no pushovers either."Meanwhile the Ghana Football Association believes that Rajevac will do a “professional job” when Ghana take on Serbia in the World Cup.
