Black Stars winger Tarique Fosu opens up on his right-back position at Brentford

Published on: 21 December 2020

Black Stars winger Tariqe Fosu Henry has lifted the lid on his “unusual” right-back position for Brentford in Saturday’s 3-1 Championship win over Reading.

The 25-year-old was deployed in the fullback position in the matchweek 20 fixture at Brentford Community Stadium due to the absence of Rico Henry.

Although Sone Aluko was on target for the visitors after the interval, first half goals from Mathias Jensen effort Bryan Mbeumo (twice) ensured three points for the hosts.

"It was a good result against a good side. There have been a few changes and stuff. Charlie stepped in and I thought he’s done really well,” Fosu said, as reported by his club’s official website.

“I am doing a job at right-back as well. I think it was a good win and great team performance. It’s a bit different to my usual position but obviously Henrik’s injured so I stepped in. It’s decent.

“[The backline] was good, we broke out of a lot of their chances. In the second half, they created quite a few chances but I thought we were solid and we’re buzzing with the win obviously.”

“We’re on a good run and it’s important that we keep focus, continue working hard and get the results.”

Saturday’s win has taken Brentford to fourth on the league table, keeping them in pole position to, in the least, grab a spot for the Championship play-off.
