Ghana coach Otto Addo is looking forward to renewing a long-standing relationship with South Korea's Son Heung-min when the teams clash at the World Cup on Monday.
Ghana, who lost their opening game to Portugal, are seeking of their first points in Group H against the Koreans, who kicked off with a 0-0 draw against Uruguay, and well aware of the threat Son will pose at Al Rayyan’s Education City Stadium.
"I really liked his character, he was a very hard-working player. I was the one who proposed him to the first team," said Addo on Sunday. The Korean attacker has since played more than 200 Premier League matches for Tottenham Hotspur and emerged as his country’s talisman, competing in his third World Cup.
"We know his strength and we’re going to listen to the coach who has a plan to stop him," said Ghana defender Daniel Amartey, who also plays in the topflight in England.
