Ghana start World Cup preparations in Wales after crash course for Queiroz

Queiroz is due to handle his fifth consecutive World Cup in charge. He assumed control during April and in recent weeks has visited players at club level, assessed options for the final 26 man group and collected maximum insight into the team.

Accompanied by his assistants he has been to 12 cities, observed 14 games and reviewed the progress of 55 Ghanaian players via footage from more than 200 games.

At 73 years old and renowned for detailed planning he has limited time to acquaint himself with the players yet will commence sessions with the first arrivals at camp this week.

We must implement correct preparation including training, diet, nutrition, physios, fitness and set piece specifics. Queiroz stated in an interview issued by the FA.

It is simple to state I want to win the World Cup much as countless individuals desire a private jet. He added. Yet readiness to meet the required cost is essential to realise such ambitions.

Ghana will stay in Wales across 12 days and contest a friendly against the hosts in Cardiff on June 2nd prior to departing for the tournament where Panama, England and Croatia await in Group L.
