St Pauli boss Timo Schultz praises Ghana forward Braydon Manu ahead of Darmstadt encounter

St Pauli manager Timo Schultz has eulogized Ghanaian forward Braydon Manu ahead of the Bundesliga II clash against SV Darmstadt.

Manu, who earned Ghana call up under CK Akonnor has been on top form this season for Darmstadt, contributing eight goals in 13 matches for the club.

The German-born Ghanaian spent his youth days at St Pauli and left an impression on Schlutz before leaving the club in 2013.

On Saturday, St Pauli will play host to Darmstadt in matchday 14 of the second-tier league.

And ahead of the game, the St Pauli boss has heaped praise on the Ghanaian attacker.

"He was with us before I came to our NLZ," said Schultz during the pre-match interview.

But I was told that he was always in a good mood and had a lot of energy. He wasn't always well organized, but as you can see, a player's path doesn't always have to be straight. Guys like him are always good for a team. You can see his skills, the joy and energy with which he plays on the pitch," he added.

He will hope to make the Ghana squad for the 2022 World Cup to be played in Qatar.
