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.

“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.”

"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.

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."
