The German-based Ghanaian coach would have loved to see the veterans at the rear of the Black Stars and a few in midfield to fortify the team. Bayer Leverkusen youth team coach Sebastian Barnes is arguing that the Black Stars� provisional World Cup squad should have had some more experienced players at defence. The former Ghana Under-17 skipper believes veteran rearguards should have been included in the list since the World Cup is a different stage all together. �I think our defence, we need the two experienced guys - John Mensah and John Paintsil. In the midfield Antony Annan should have been included, although they don�t feature in their clubs their experience and push up would have helped,� Barnes told Goal Ghana. �All the same the squad is not bad and much will depend on the defenders, with the midfield and attack there is not much problem. We can go far in Brazil.�
