Former Black Stars head coach, Kwesi Appiah, has explained why Thomas Partey failed to glitter at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Arsenal superstar came under criticism following his sluggish performance at the Mundial.
The 28-year-old featured in all three games as Ghana exited the group phase with three points having finished at the bottom of Group H.
According to Appiah who qualified Ghana to the 2014 global show[piece in Brazil revealed that, unlike Arsenal, Partey is limited at Black Stars by playing in offensive areas.
He added that the Premier League side have the best out of the Ghanaian because they use him as a defensive midfielder.
"I would like to use this World Cup. If you look at Arsenal, they use him more like a defensive midfielder, always he plays in front of the defenders," he told Dan Kweku Yeboah TV.
"But here we use him as an offensive midfielder who operates on the right side. That means he is enclosed in a small area with the number 10 but at Arsenal, he can move all over the place," he added.
The Black Stars will reassemble in March 2023 for a doubleheader against Angola for the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] qualifiers.
