Head coach Carlos Queiroz has delivered a passionate message to the Black Stars players, urging them to embrace their responsibility and create a new chapter in Ghana’s football history ahead of future challenges.
Addressing the players after what he described as a warm-up exercise, Queiroz stressed that representing Ghana goes beyond simply playing football, reminding the squad of the expectations that come with wearing the national colours.
“This was only a warming up. It was only to emphasize the history of Ghana in World Cups,” Queiroz told the players.
The experienced coach warned that tougher tests lie ahead and challenged the team to mentally prepare themselves for the demands of future matches.
According to him, every player has a responsibility to inspire millions of young Ghanaians who proudly wear jerseys bearing their names and numbers.
“We are here together to make history for Ghana, so remember our responsibility. When kids in Ghana start to put on a shirt with your number, it’s a great responsibility for you,” he said.
Queiroz further encouraged the players to reflect deeply on their role in continuing the legacy built by previous generations of Ghanaian footballers, emphasizing that the current squad now has the opportunity to write their own story.
“When you sleep today, think about that. These guys built this history behind us. It’s a message to us that we have the opportunity in the next World Cup for other people to talk about you too,” he added.
The coach concluded his message by urging the players to give their maximum effort and leave a lasting impact in Ghana football history.
“Let’s do it. Let’s put your names and your efforts in the history of Ghana.”
