Ghana coach states 'unconditional' support for underfire keeper Kwarasey
Posted On Sunday, 5th February 2012
Adam Kwarasey is the first choice goalkeeper of the Black Stars
Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic says Adam Kwarasey is his undisputed first choice goalkeeper despite concerns over the shot-stopper confidence at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Norway-born status as the No1 goalkeeper is under threat after conceding a ‘casual’ goal at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations against Guinea last Wednesday.
According to the Ghana coach, despite the goal, he has no problems with the shot stopper who put in a commanding performance in the final group game against the Syli National which ended 1-1.
“I believe in Adam Kwarasey unconditionally,” Stevanovic told a press conference ahead of Sunday’s clash with Tunisia.
“If you saw the match against Guinea, Adam Kwarasey conceded one goal casually
“But Kwarasey saved two clear goals. If you don’t know, watch again.”
Ahead of the crucial quarter-final match with Tunisia on Sunday, concerns have been raised about Kwarasey’s status but Stevanovic says he would check on the goalkeeper who is bit injured to determine who gets to start in post.
“For that I believe in Adam Kwarasey. But for now, he is a bit injured and if he cannot play, I believe in Daniel Agyei,” he said.
Ghana need to beat Tunisia to keep their hopes of a place in the finals alive as the Black Stars chase a fifth Nations Cup.

“For that I believe in Adam Kwarasey. But for now, he is a bit injured and if he cannot play, I believe in Daniel Agyei,” he said
Interpretation: He makes me nervous so I’m starting Daniel Agyei.
As long as Paintsil does not play, the keeper will not be tested as much. Just Get Boye, Inkoom, Mensah and Vorsah to shield the goalie.
hahahahahaahhaaaaahaaa,u r funny as hell
You are spot on Johnny.That Pantsil makes me nervous.
i belief Adam is still the best for tunisia match. any change in the goal keeping at this moment may be very dangerous for our team. all the best BLACK STARS
Ghana chances of making it 2d next round is doomed wit a shaky shaky keeper like kwarasey,he cant deal wit crosses and he does read flight of dis balls well,we hav not bein wit gd quality and agile keepers,he easily looses concentration wen crowded wit opposing players durin free kicks and corner kicks,believe me kwarasey will be a kill joy and our achilles heal in dis match,altho i want us 2win but got dis feeling dat Tunisia will beat ghana 2day,they faster,smarter and
can hold d ball well jst like our potential semi final opponent zambia.paintsil mk way 4 inkoom,likewise mensa john 4 boye if we want 2win.d real Nation cup starts frm 2day,time separate d boyz frm d men and charf frmd wheat.best of ghana.go stars go! u can do it!
u guys chat shit. support him n stop talki shit, u negative idiots
I GUESS WHAT U ARE ALL SAYING IN VENINOS WHY WILL THERE BE CHANGES IN THE TEAM N I THINK U PPL MUST LEAVE DE COACH TO DO HIS WORK N FOR DE POST KWARASEY MUST START,HE IS DE BEST FOR GHANA.DE GOAL WAS JUST A LUCK.AUPA GHANA.CHAO BROTHERS.
WHO EVER BELIEVE,THINK OR SAY TUNISIA WILL BEAT GHANA SHOULD COME KISS MY BLACK ASS AFTER THE MATCH.not dis tunisia team who hardly qualified 2 afcon as second in dea group,how many of u watch dea matches dat u tink dey will beat ghana.ghana always have difficaulties in beating guinea anytime we meet.tunisia will smell pepper 2day
i believe in adam. daniel also have ariel ball problems
Kwarasey is good so he has to start him tonite. Ghana will surely win come what may. Amen
I think gha should not make any mistake to take de keeper out from dis game,bcos when dey try i think nothing than to wish them back to home.
I also think any change in de goal keppin will be suicidder bcos kwara is de best, goran shd stop playing with ghanaians heart nd maintain kwara nd dem de best.
kwara is de best nd goran shd stop playing with ghanaians heart nd maintain maintain him.
B4world wh@ do mean u re capital FFFFF………
Just live ghanaian alone!!! we talk too much. adams has nothing
….ghanaians are hypocrites.
i knew a day would come when kwarasey would be castigated like what was done to appiah and agogo when he was making great saves against brazil.
Pls wt tym da game started?
Black Stars will receive a very low response to calls from European based and European born players due to the barbaric and unacceptable criticism of the coach and the players from the fans and half baked journalists in Ghana. The insults young keeper like Adam Kwarasey, Muntari, Jordan,John P, Tagoe and even the caoch is unbearable. I will advise them not answer Ghana’s call anymore. I will do the same if 1 were in their shoes. Even getting another European coach for the Black Stars will be very tough in the near future -I guess we will make do with locals of we can replace them like replacing underwears.
I am surprised that Ghanaians – both fans and journalists were all expecting Danny Welbeck, Super Mario Balotelli and co to come and represent Ghana. Oh no those guys made the best choice they have ever made in their lives. Oh before I forget KPB – one of the best players as far as 21st century football is concerned who once played for Ghana retired from the national team unceremoniously and we all castigated him. Now I understand! KPB made the best decision in his life as well. I wish KPB, Adam Kwarasey and all the victims of our unwarranted insults all the best in their future endeavours.
In general most goalkeppers have problems with crosses and flightballs! Only a few are comfortable with such balls. Even our Goalkeppers trainer had this as one of his weakness in his heydays! People are out mad at Kwaresey, but the question is, didn’t the GP trainer Ansah notice this weakness or fault up till now ??? Kwaresey has started in a couple of high level matches , such as that with Brasil and this weakness was not noticed or evident??? What has happened to him during the preparations and camping before the first match with Botswana ???? Many questions – WHAT’S GOING ON HERE???? The goal he considered during the Guinea game is not “uncommon” Top-notched Keepers in the world are also beaten with such goals!!!! NOBODY IS PERFECT!!! as such please have patience with Kwarasey afterall, “THE “DEVIL” YOU KNOW IS BETTER THAN THE “ANGEL” YOU DON’T KNOW”
Well said Fiifi Berlin
Oleyley has done very well for GH but they have forget him..not kwarasey…i know someday GH and de supporters will call for Oley oley again..hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…kwarasey who is playing in Norway..Nobody has ever heard or watch him before..Bcos of Ghanaian supporters who always want win say Oleyley don’t no anything..Kwarasey is there take am..But if you quys quite remember Ghana against Swaziland..watch dat ball again…hahahahaha
