The Black Stars reached the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup, the same stage as Brazil, and were only denied a place in the semi-finals by a penalty shoot-out defeat to Uruguay.
“Ghana had a great World Cup, and were one of the best teams in the tournament,” said Menezes. “They are quickly coming through and developing, and moving up in the FIFA rankings.
“We have tried to choose different teams with different styles. Ghana are very physical, but they also have technical abilities similar to Brazil. We are trying to experiences different types of football, and want to try a little bit of everything before the 2014 World Cup.”
Menezes was also asked if he felt any pressure on his job, after a disappointing Copa America and a friendly defeat against Germany.
“We have to win every game. Football is a very competitive sport,” he replied. “But I’m not worried about my job. I will just try to do my best…but you never know!”
