Black Stars coach Carlos Queiroz has expressed his admiration for Antoine Semenyo following the forward’s impressive season with Manchester City.
Speaking ahead of Ghana’s international friendly against Wales, Queiroz praised Semenyo’s performances but maintained his long-standing approach of focusing on the team rather than individual players.
The experienced coach was asked about Semenyo’s excellent campaign at club level and acknowledged the attacker’s achievements while stressing the importance of collective success.
“I have amazing admiration for him. But in public, I only talk particularly about one player that you did not mention. If you want, I can say what is my favourite player in our team. Do you want to know? My favourite player’s name is called team. So, if you want me to talk about the team, I’ll do it. I don’t talk about individuals. I leave that job to you guys to talk about the performance of my players,” he said.
Ghana will take on Wales in an international friendly at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday, June 2, 2026.
