Former Ghana Black Stars assistant coach Ibrahim Tanko has urged the adorable Black Stars technical team to consider using Mohammed Kudus as a false nine.

So far in the 2022/2023 season, the attacking midfielder has thrived in that role for Ajax, scoring (5) five goals on 10 shots.

With the Black Stars striking options looking far from convincing despite the addition of Iñaki Williams, Ibrahim Tanko, a former Ghana player has asked Coach Otto Addo to use Mohammed Kudus in attack.


“Mohammed Kudus is a very talented player. He can play in so many positions. If you pair him (kudus) with a holding midfielder, he can play as a no (8) and also as a striker,” he told multimedia Joy Sports.

“The technical team has a plan so let us hope that all the boys stay fit so the technical team will have good options to select from. [False 9] It is one of the options the technical team can look at.”

The black stars will play Brazil and Nicaragua in international friendlies this month as part of preparations for the 2022 FIFA World Cup to be staged in Qatar.


KINDLY READ MY PREVIOUS POST TOO; 


Ajax Amsterdam attacker Brian Brobbey admits he is frustrated after losing his spot in the starting line up to Ghana midfielder Kudus Mohammed in the UEFA Champions League game against Rangers. 

The Dutch international attacker has been used as a substitute in Ajax's two previous games against Rangers and Heerenveen due to Mohammed Kudus' amazing performances.


Brian Brobbey who has started in Ajax's four games this season has been reduced to the substitute role due to competition from the Ghana star, Kudus Mohammed. 


"I was a little big frustrated," He admitted on losing his position in the starting line up.

"Which I think its normal, because everyone want to play. Whether it did play a role that I had to show up for two more minutes? Of course, a little bit. But I cannot make anything else out of it."

ESPN journalist, Marciano Vink really praised Brian Brobbey's attitude after he applauded  Kudus Mohammed when replacing him in the game against Heerenven.

 "I liked that Brobbey, I was happy with Kudus' goal," said Marciano Vink.

Brian Brobbey climbed off the bench to score in the 5-0 win against Heerenven.

"I am certainly delighted," said the Dutch forward.

" As an attacker you always want to score, always nice. Of course I started from the bench, so if you come in you would have to accelerate anyway." He takes it for granted that Brian Brobbey clapped for his competitor's second goal.

"Mo Kudus is my buddy, I'm happy for him," said Brian Brobbey.

"He did a very fantastic job. I do not talk to him about the competition, but the gaffer has indicated that he will rotate because of the wide selection. I’ve  talked about it with our trainer, but I keep that between us m. As a player you want to play, but if not you have to accept that and prove something."
