Joojo Wollacott is a product of good scouting – Milovan Rajevac

Ghana head coach Milovan Rajevac has defended his decision to select Joojo Wollocott for this month’s FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualifiers against Zimbabwe.

The Swindon Town goalkeeper who was hitherto unknown by many Ghanaians has pleasantly surprised critiques following his debut in the 3-1 win over the Warriors on Saturday.

With injury to first choice Richard Ofori, the Serbian tactician opted to find solace in newly called up Wollacott who plies his trade in England’s fourth tier.

“First of all, it was through good scouting and he arrived and proved himself at the training sessions. He really did a great job and he deserved his chance. I think he was at the top of the game and I am personally satisfied with his performance. I don’t want to praise goalkeepers too much but he really did a good job” Milo told ghanafa.org in his post match presser.

Wollacot has been impressive for Swindon since joining from Bristol City in the summer making him the first choice since the start of the new season.

The 25 year old shot stopper featured in all his side’s 10 games, played full 90 minutes and has conceded 8 times this season, keeping four clean-sheets in the process.
