Ghana's coach shows unwavering confidence in the midfielder's abilities ahead of football's biggest stage.
Carlos Queiroz has thrown his full weight behind Thomas Partey's inclusion in Ghana's World Cup squad, dismissing any doubts about the midfielder's readiness despite his recent departure from Arsenal. The Portuguese tactician made it clear that Partey remains a cornerstone of the Black Stars' ambitions on football's grandest stage.
The 31-year-old Partey brings a wealth of experience from Europe's top leagues, having established himself as one of Africa's most technically gifted midfielders during his time in Spain and England. His ability to dictate tempo and break up opposition attacks makes him invaluable to Ghana's World Cup aspirations, regardless of his club situation.
Queiroz's decision reflects a broader trend of African coaches and technical staff prioritizing talent and experience over current club status. The veteran coach, who has guided multiple nations through World Cup campaigns, understands that tournament football demands players who can handle pressure and deliver when it matters most.
For Ghana, Partey's presence represents continuity and leadership in a squad looking to make a statement on the global stage. The Black Stars will be counting on their experienced core, including Partey, to help navigate what promises to be a challenging World Cup campaign and showcase the rising quality of African football.
