Sowah: Club Brugge manager Clement hails Ghanaian winger after fine PSG display

Club Brugge boss Philippe Clement has praised the performance of Ghanaian attacker Kamal Sowah in their 1-1 home stalemate with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The winger saw 92 minutes of action as the Belgian giants came from behind to hold a Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr., and Kylian Mbappe-led side to a stalemate.

Ander Herrera shot PSG in front in the 15th minute before captain Hans Vanaken responded for the hosts in the 27th minute in the Group A matchday one tie at Jan Breydel Stadium.

“Lang, De Ketelaere, Vanaken, Sowah, … I really should name every player. You can only get a result like tonight’s if everyone is fully focused and committed and that was the case,” Clement said after the game, his club’s official website reported.

“They’ve played a wonderful game, both physically and mentally. We started off well but conceded a goal after 15 minutes play. But then, the reaction from my players is what really satisfies me as a coach.

“This is our football philosophy. This is how we want to play every game. If I have to be critical, then I would say that we need a bit more efficiency.

“The other teams in the group will not be taken by surprise by us, we still have five finals to play and we need to be ready. I don’t think we should limit the dreams of the players. Let them dream of what could be and we’ll see where we end in this group. But this was a brilliant performance from our part.”

The result has left Brugge third on the table behind leaders Manchester City, who beat German side RB Leipzig 6-3 in the other group game, and PSG.

Sowah joined the Belgian side on a four-year contract from English outfit Leicester City last month.

Last weekend, he made his debut for the Blue-Black, marking the outing with an assist as the club beat Oostende 3-0 in the Belgian First Division A.

The 21-year-old is yet to be capped by Ghana at international level, having turned down call-ups in the past.
