Barely a month to the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Footballghana.com brings to you the performance of the key players in Group H, where Ghana has been pitted.
The biggest soccer mundial has been scheduled for November and December this year, with 32 countries set to battle it out for the covetous trophy in the Asian country.
The West African powerhouse are housed in Group H and will face Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea.
Ghana will open their World Cup account against Portugal on November 24 and will then play South Korea on November 28 and Uruguay in their final group match on December 2.
In Group H, to which Ghana belongs, can boast of some top stars including Uruguay’s Darwin Nuñez, Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal, Thomas Partey of Ghana, and Son Heun-Min of South Korea.
Korea's main strikers such as Hwang Ui-jo and Hwang Hee-chan are struggling without a goal. In particular, the key EPL scorer, Son Heung-min, is showing extreme performances in his team Tottenham.
Son Heung-min, who scored a multi-goal in the match against Frankfurt on the 13th, was silent in the match against Manchester United on the 20th.
The decisive cause that fans choose is the problem of coexistence with his teammate Perishi Chi, and Heung-Min Son is struggling with the worst record in scoring as well as in the number of touches.
However, so far, Son Heung-min has recorded a decent attack point, close to 0.5 per game, with 5 goals and 2 assists in 15 league and UCL matches. In addition, Tottenham Hotspur is in third place in the league as rivals such as Liverpool are struggling.
Uruguay's Darwin Nuñez is 'slightly better' than Son Heung-min. Nuñez, who has been in the EPL for the first time this season, is expected to play through a period of adaptation.
However, Nunes also has trials. Nunes has been criticized by fans for the problem of 'greed' that has continued since the Arsenal match. But this is close to bullshit. This is because any striker is covered by the frame of 'greed'. Salado was once criticized for not having to accept it for being 'greedy'.
Having scored 3 goals and 1 assist in 7 league games this season and 1 goal in 4 Champions League matches, he has 4 goals and 1 assist in 11 matches, recording attack points per game close to 0.5 like Son Heung-min. Considering the first season of the EPL and Liverpool's '7th place', this is an outstanding record.
Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, the true master of 'greed', was in the opposite situation a year ago. Unlike his a year ago when he played a veteran role, as he nears the World Cup, his team Manchester United don't need him anymore.
In the recent match against Newcastle, he intercepted a free kick that the goalkeeper was preparing and 'imagined scoring', and in the match against Tottenham, he led the 'gathering' of soccer fans by leaving work early after waiting on the bench.
Ronaldo, 37, is an old player at the age he should consider retiring, but he has claimed to be a 'public enemy' to rally the Manchester United squad this season.
In Ghana, Thomas Partey took off after a bad injury. Playing as a defensive midfielder for Arsenal, he missed five games due to an injury just before Fulham in August.
Arsenal, who had been on a winning streak, allowed a blow to United while he was away, and the winning streak was cut off. However, Arsenal, who started soaring again right after the defeat against Manchester United, are on a five-game winning streak thanks to his comeback.
Partey has scored one goal in eight matches this season. It is difficult to expect a goal-scoring ability from him, who is playing the role of a rear playmaker instead of an aggressive mission, but as he is showing outstanding performance to this day, Korea, who will face the party, will struggle as strikers such as Son Heung-min and Hwang Ui-jo are erased from the arena. see.
