Former Ghana national football team defender Daniel Opare has urged the technical team to prioritise building a cohesive squad over reliance on individual talent ahead of the FIFA World Cup.
Ghana, set for their fifth World Cup appearance, have been drawn in Group L alongside England national football team, Croatia national football team, and Panama national football team.
Speaking to JoySports, Opare acknowledged the abundance of talent within the squad but stressed the need for continuity. He cautioned that frequent changes undermine team chemistry, arguing that consistency in selection—except in cases of injury—is essential to developing a strong unit.
The team heads into the tournament on the back of four consecutive defeats, a run that led to the dismissal of Otto Addo and the appointment of Carlos Queiroz as head coach.
Queiroz has until June 1 to submit his final squad for the expanded 48-team competition. The Portuguese manager, who recently observed local friendlies involving home-based players, is currently in Europe scouting additional talent ahead of the tournament.
