World Cup 2022 World Cup: I play to the coaches instructions - Thomas Partey takes swipe at critics
DEC 1, 2022 LISTEN

Ghana Thomas Partey says he is more focused on playing his role within the team’s setup rather than seeking personal glory.

The Arsenal midfielder has been criticized for not imposing himself on games for the Black Stars at the ongoing 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Partey was taken to the cleaners following his uninspiring performance in Ghana's 3-2 defeat to Portugal.

However, speaking at the pre-game presser for Ghana’s game against Uruguay he stated that his primary objective is to play his designated role and not to seek personal glory.

"Most people will surely expect more from me, but we are playing as a team," he said.

"I listen to the coach and look to do what he has asked me to do correctly so that he will be happy.

"In the end you know you can do something better, but you need to stick to what the team wants and not the individual.

"I am doing my best,” he stated.
Ghana will take on Uruguay at the Al Janoub Stadium in the final Group H encounter for a ticket to the Round of 16 phase of the tournament.

Kick-off is at 15:00GMT.
