Competition: International Friendly

Teams: Korea v Ghana

Venue: Jeonju World Cup Stadium

Date: June 7, 2011

Ghana would be targeting another impressive run under Goran Stevanovic as the Black Stars play Korea in a friendly on Tuesday.

The Black Stars under Stevanovic have gone unbeaten in four games, winning three and drawing one.

Coming at the back of an impressive Nations Cup qualifying victory over Congo, Stevanovic is pushing for another win to keep the momentum of his side going despite being without some key players.

Ghana is without John Mensah, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Michael Essien, Prince Tagoe, Andre Ayew, Samuel Inkoom and goalkeeper Sammy Adjei.

Despite their absence, his side's impressive run lately and the depth of quality has given Stevanovic something to look forward to.

His opposite number, Cho Kwang-rae hopes to benefit from the performance that saw Korea beat Serbia last Friday in a friendly.

Cho, however, is concerned about the threat that Ghana poses and wants his players to be accurate with their passes.

“I asked my boys to pass the ball from the midfield quicker than usual in that [Serbian friendly] match, and that led to inaccuracy,” Cho said.

“I will make sure the players will not play for any loose balls against Ghana,” he added.
