Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has expressed his excitement after delivering a stellar performance for the Black Stars in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Partey played a crucial role in Ghana’s victories over Chad and Madagascar, boosting their chances of securing a spot in the prestigious tournament.
The 31-year-old midfielder was instrumental in both games, capping off his performances with a sensational brace in Ghana’s 3-0 win over Madagascar in Morocco.
His goals ensured that the Black Stars ended the international break at the top of their qualification group.
Following his outstanding display, Partey took to Instagram to share his joy, posting a victory sign alongside the Ghanaian flag and images from the match.
“I let my football do the talking,” he wrote, highlighting his dedication to the national team.
Having already cemented himself as a key figure in the squad, Partey reached a significant milestone during the break—making his 50th and 51st appearances for Ghana.
With his latest goals, he has now netted 15 times for the Black Stars, with eight of those coming in World Cup qualifiers.
His leadership on the pitch continues to be invaluable, not only for his goal-scoring ability but also for his composure and tactical intelligence.
Ghana’s head coach, Otto Addo, praised Partey’s influence and urged the team to stay focused despite their recent victories.
Otto Addo’s Call for Focus
While the wins have placed Ghana in a favorable position, Addo remains cautious. Speaking after the game, he emphasized the need for consistency.
“It’s not done yet. We still have to work hard. Football changes very fast, and as a national coach, you don’t always get the team together regularly. But I’m happy with the results and the way we played,” Addo stated.
He urged his players to remain committed as they prepare for the remaining qualifiers, reminding them that their ultimate goal is World Cup qualification.
Partey now heads back to England to rejoin Arsenal, where he is expected to play a vital role in their Premier League and UEFA Champions League campaigns.
With the Gunners competing for the league title, his experience and leadership will be crucial in the season’s final stretch.
Ghanaian fans will be hoping their midfield maestro continues his fine form both internationally and at club level as they edge closer to another World Cup appearance.
