Bayern Munich and German national team star Jonathan Tah will be facing an interesting opponent in Ivory Coast as it is his father’s home country.
“It’s going to be a special game for me against Côte d’Ivoire. I’m really looking forward to it,” said Tah (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
As a center-back, Tah will have to deal with several talented attackers from the Ivory Coast, including RB Leipzig standout Yan Diomande. The 20-year-old attacker was one of the best young players in the Bundesliga and is
now reportedly on the transfer radar of Liverpool FC.
“He’s so talented. I read his story in the past few days and it has moved me. Football unites and the players know how difficult those moments can be for your private life. I really wish him the best, he is a great player,” Tah said.
Tah will team with Nico Schlotterbeck to attempt to slow down what should be an exciting attack for Ivory Coast.
