Let’s support Queiroz to excel

Dear Editor

I wish to use your esteemed platform to welcome Mr Carlos Queiroz, our new coach for our senior national male football team, the Black Stars.

We have read a lot about him and I think looking at his CV, he represents our biggest ‘catch’ in this business.

When his name came up initially, some of us doubted whether we could land him considering our scarce resources.

A coach with experiences with Real Madrid, Manchester United at club sides and national team romance with South Africa and Iran speaks volumes of what he brings to the table.

However, we must not forget that CVs don’t play football. Football is played on the pitch and it is therefore the reason why the noise about his arrival must end and watch out for what he brings to the table.

Currently, we don’t have players we could call world class. Those that comes near that label like Mohammed Kudus and Mohammed Salisu are injured.

The only player making waves in Europe at the moment is Antoine Semenyo of Manchester City.

Carlos Queiroz is not coming as a magician. He would need players who are committed and very good enough. At this moment, we should be praying and supporting him to get the best out of our players.

Directly, I want to appeal to him to take a serious look at the players in individually and access their qualities before bringing them on board.

Some of the players are very good but have just failed or struggled to perform in the Black Stars jersey. One of his task must be to break that ice.

We need nothing bust the best for the World Cup. As Ghanaians let’s support Queiroz to get the best out of the players available.

Andy Muller,
