'The players listened to my instruction' – Carlos Queiroz after Black Stars Wales draw

Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has expressed satisfaction with his players' commitment to his game plan, insisting that the team will only get better as they continue to work together.

Speaking after Ghana's 1-1 draw with Wales in their final pre-World Cup friendly, the Portuguese tactician highlighted the respect and discipline shown by the squad in executing his tactical instructions.

"What really pleased me a lot is the way the players listened to my instruction; my game plan; they were very respectful," Queiroz said.

Despite the draw, Queiroz remains optimistic about the team's trajectory. He believes that with continued effort and adherence to his methods, the Black Stars will improve in time for the World Cup.

Ghana open their Group L campaign against Panama on June 17, followed by England on June 23 and Croatia on June 27. For Queiroz, the foundation is being laid, and the signs are encouraging.
