Gruzah Heaps Praise On Coach Appiah

King Faisal president Alhaji Karim Gruzah has praised Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah for naming what he describes as a �formidable� pre-World Cup squad. Appiah made three surprise calls in Jeff Schlupp, David Accam and promising youngster Afriyie Acquah in his 26-man squad for next month�s tournament in Brazil. Veteran campaigners John Mensah and Anthony Annan were casualties after being heavily tipped to make a return to the team after months of absence. Gruzah says the decision to include only active players shows the ex-Ghana captain has lots of guts and deserves commendation. �The squad is very good and couldn�t have been any better,� Grusah told GHANASoccernet.com �This is the best we have in our country and he couldn�t have been more spot on. My advice to the media is to be unbiased and throw their support behind the coach, so we all have the success we desire. �I have been hugely impressed by his decision to call up this squad and the team I must say looks a formidable one.� Ghana will now play a friendly game with a locally assembled side on 23 May before they enplane to Rotterdam for a residential camping. The Black Stars will face Holland on 31 May and will leave to the United States the next day to continue preparations.
