Ghanas World Championship with trainer Queiroz
The 73-year-old wants to make history in the round of 16 and erase the drama of 2010.
Carlos Queiroz is in the coaching bench at a World Cup for the fifth time and leads the Black Stars from Ghana into an explosive round of 16 against Colombia. The 73-year-old strategist wants to overcome the historic hurdle of the quarterfinals and finally banish the shadows of 2010. Queiroz, who has represented Portugal, South Africa, Iran and Egypt in World Cup tournaments, brings unrivaled experience to the Colombian block.
Ghana lost its last World Cup participation 16 years ago in the quarter-finals on penalties against Uruguay, a trauma that still has an impact today. Now the team faces a Colombian attack led by superstar Luis Díaz, while Ghana relies on the defensive stability and leadership of captain Thomas Partey. Tactically, the duel promises a classic contrasting program.
