Psychologist at the Ghana Football Association, Professor J.K. Mintah is very optimistic the Black Stars will at all cost qualify for the 2014 World Cup scheduled to be hosted in Brazil. According to him, though there are lots of psychological issues in the team, his outfit has been able to work on the players to keep them in shape for their remaining qualifiers. �I have to work on the team and their arrival in every qualifying match. I also work on their motivation, so putting them all together, that is what we are getting the results. There is still some more to do and am working on that� he said. As to whether skipper Asamoah Gyan�s $10,000 which was reported stolen from their Maseru Hotel based in Lesotho would anyway affect the player�s performance in Ghana�s subsequence matches in the qualifiers, Prof Mintah believes that will not spifflicate the team�s spirit. The player returned to his hotel room after their 2-0 win over Lesotho only to find one of his bags cut into pieces with its contents missing. Prof Mintah told PEACE POWER SPORTS that �I have been working with Asamoah Gyan one on one for some time now; we talk and I took him through a lot and now he is ready and that is why he is delivering the goals�. Adding, �I think we are ready and Ghana is going to Brazil�
