Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz says his team deserved the plaudits after a composed display against England that earned them a draw in the ongoing FIFA World Cup.
He stressed the clean sheet belonged to the entire group, hence underscoring the importance of praising them.
“Usually, I don’t like to talk. Never, never. I avoid talking about individual players. But I think Benjamin Asare deserves applauds. He was brilliant because he’s in a specific position in the team, and this is only due to the quality of the player, first of all, and the work that we did with all of them.
“I know, and I learned in this business that we can win a couple of games with 11 players, but we can never succeed if we don’t have a team ready to fulfil all the obligations. As you see today, he comes out, he performs. Other players also come and they did well. This is the most important thing.
“When 11 men go inside one pitch, and they share a common dream, things can happen. All my players, they play for each other. They don’t play for the scoreboard. They don’t play against the watch. They don’t play against the history. They just play for each other, to the teammate that was side by side with them,” he said.
He added, “And when it was necessary to go forward, they knew they have a team behind them. That’s why I was very pleased with them.”
Ghana and England both move to four points in Group L.
The Black Stars face Croatia in their final group game on June 28, with qualification for the Round of 32 still in their hands.
