Mainz O5 Coach Sandro Schwarz Admires Ghanaian Forward Issah Abass' Professionalism

Head Coach of Bundesliga side Mainz O5 Sandro Schwarz has praises summer signing Abass Issah for his professionalism since arriving in the transfer window.

The 19-year-old signed a five year deal with the Bundesliga side on the transfer deadline day and started training with the club this week.

The Ghanaian youngster actively participated in all the session on Wednesday and he is expected to play his first game for the club in a friendly against TuS Koblenz on Thursday afternoon.

Meanwhile, his manager Sandro Schwarz, who has been impressed with the player's performance at training says he looks matured and would quickly adapt to the system in Germany.

"Issah is in good physical condition, is quick, and is able to play across the front three," says Sandro Schwarz. "Of course we will have to work with him on the intensity of our game and he also has a lot to learn tactically."

However, what the 05 coach likes about Abass, is his professionalism. "He just does it." Issah, who looks more mature than 19, will have to integrate himself into the way the team plays."

'You also need people who can break out of the normal tactic and are able to adapt and play according to the game situation. We believe that he is one of those players. We know that he needs time before playing in the Bundesliga, but we will trust him and gradually give him the game time he needs.'
