"We hope Son Heung-min (Tottenham) continues to perform well, but tomorrow will be an exception," said Ghana national football team coach Otto Ado.
Coach Addo said this at a press conference held at the Main Media Center (MMC) in Al Rayyan, Qatar on the 27th, the day before the 2022 Qatar World Cup Group H 2nd match with Korea.
Coach Addo has a relationship with Son Heung-min, who was playing for the Hamburg (Germany) youth team.
"It is difficult to predict the future of all youth players, but I saw Son Heung-min's future," said Addo.
"I was impressed by Son Heung-min. He has a good personality and is disciplined. He has always worked hard and has grown a lot. Son Heung-min has built a very good career." Tomorrow is an exception." He laughed.
Coach Addo promised, "I want Son Heung-min to play. We will stop him as a team. We will do our best to close the gap."
He also warned, “I know that another striker (Hwang Hee-chan) is injured,” and “Still, the overall team in Korea is strong.”
In the game against Portugal, Ghana abandoned the previous four-back defensive tactic and operated a de facto five-back defensive line.
Coach Addo said, "The media say that the manager's choice is a 'genius' if it works, and criticize it if he loses. "There are always good players and bad players. that," he said, raising his voice.
