Ghanaian international coach, Moses Cofie who has signed a two year deal with
Sudanese
club El Nisoor Sporting Club, a premiership side in Khartoum has urged the
Black Stars never to fear or underrate their opponents at the 2014 FIFA World
Cup, but goo all out and reach the ultimate prize.
Speaking to yours truly, Moses Cofie who played for Ghanaian
teams, Accra Great Olympics, Liberty Professional and Accra Hearts of Oak
before moving to Nigeria, Togo and Sudan to continue his career said
tournaments are different from league matches and players must be focused and
very intelligent on the field.
The football star who was called into the national teams of Ghana
and Togo before retiring splaying at the highest level in the game of football
is not a joke and the players who will represent the nation must be prepared to
die and win.
The former midfielder with good eyes for goals told yours truly he
knows the capabilities of Ghanaian players and believes they can win the World
Cup if they are motivated.
“It was motivation that helped the team to bear the Pharaohs of
Egypt 6-1 in Kumasi and I know they can qualify from the group stage. We are in
a strong group with Germany, USA and Portugal. They are strong football nations
and we will learn how to beat them squarely. I know we will qualify by all
means. We shall beat USA and Portugal. Germany is a strong nation so we can
draw with them and move on to the next stage of the competition” he noted.
“I strongly feel in my heart that Ghana will beat Portugal with
Christian Ronaldo leading them. With players like Michael Essien, Sully Muntari,
Harrison Afful and Kevin Prince Boateng around, we are going to the medal zone”
he added.
Moses Cofie who is on holidays in Ghana after the season has ended
in Sudan tasked Ghanaian footballers to train hard and be disciplined as the
World Cup can open great doors for them.
He also charged businessmen and women and other professionals who
will be in Brazil for the World Cup to take all the advantages and come home to
implement the positives of the World Cup.
“I hear Brazil is a hard place to live with many challenges in
language, accommodation and the economy in general is not easy, but I know my
people can survive everywhere on earth and produce the best results” he said
