Ghana’s low block has been working - 1-0 vs Panama, 0-0 vs England, 4 points and already through. But he’s right that Croatia will come in with a game plan to break it.
*Kingston’s key takeaways:*
- *Praise the defence*: Called out Ghana’s resilience and organisation vs England. That clean sheet vs the tournament favourites was massive.
- *We have firepower*: “We have all the weapons to hurt any opponent” - he’s backing the attackers in the squad to do damage if we open up a bit more.
- *The warning*: “Croatia have seen our games and will definitely find solutions to our low block.” Basically, sit deep again and Croatia will be ready for it.
*Where Ghana sit*: 2nd in Group L, level on 4 points with England but behind on GD. A positive result vs Croatia seals the knockout spot - something the Black Stars haven’t done since that 2010 quarter-final run.
So the dilemma for Queiroz: stick with what got us here, or tweak it so we’re not too predictable when Croatia try to press high?
Kingston’s basically saying - trust the squad’s quality and be a bit braver going forward.
