Mohammed Kudus is expected to start in the striking role for the\u00a0Black Stars\u00a0in their pre-World Cup friendly against Brazil.<\/strong><\/p>\n As hinted by Otto Addo, the Ajax man will be tried in the role to see his preparedness for the World Cup as a number 9.<\/p>\n Per reports from people close to the team, Kudus will be flanked by Andre Ayew and Inaki Williams who will be making his debut for Ghana.<\/p>\n In midfield, it is expected to be the regular partnership of Baba Iddrisu and Thomas Partey with Dennis Odoi and Baba Rahman as the right and left wing-backs respectively.<\/p>\n The three-man defense will have Amartey in a familiar right-sided center-back role, Djiku as the middleman, and Mohammed Salisu making his debut as the left-sided center-back.<\/p>\n Per the reports and photos from training Ghana\u2019s 3-4-3 lineup will be;<\/p>\n Jojo Wollacot \u2013 Daniel Amartey \u2013 Alexandre Djiku- Mohammed Salisu \u2013 Dennis Odoi \u2013 Baba Rahman \u2013 Baba Iddrisu \u2013 Thomas Partey \u2013 Inaki Williams \u2013 Mohammed Kudus \u2013 Andre Ayew.<\/p>\n With this lineup, Ghana intends to create overloads in midfield and stifle the Brazilian attack by dominating from the middle. It also means that when attacking, the wingers \u2013 Andre Ayew and Inaki \u2013 will drift in centrally and act as auxiliary strikers to allow the wing-backs to take over the wing positions.<\/p>\n There are also reports that Otto Addo might go for the 4-4-2 system which is a system we are yet to see him play.<\/p>\n That setup will most likely have Wollacott in the post, Alexandre Djiku and Mohammed Salisu as the central defensive pair with Dennis Odoi and Baba Rahman as the full-backs.<\/p>\n In midfield, there will be Baba Iddrisu and Thomas Partey with Jordan Ayew and Inaki Wiliams as wingers.<\/p>\n Andre Ayew and Mohammed Kudus will be the top two.<\/p>\n Below is the 4:4:2 lineup\u00a0<\/b>Wollacott \u2013 Dennis Odoi \u2013 Baba Rahman \u2013 Mohammed Salisu \u2013 Alexandre Djiku \u2013 Baba Iddrisu \u2013 Thomas Partey \u2013 Jordan Ayew \u2013 Inaki Williams \u2013 Andre Ayew \u2013 Mohammed Kudus.<\/p>\n Source: Ghanaweb.com<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mohammed Kudus is expected to start in the striking role for the\u00a0Black Stars\u00a0in their pre-World Cup friendly against Brazil.
