Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
PLAYER: Emmanuel Adebayor (F)
CLUB: Arsenal (England)
GROUP OPPONENTS: France, Switzerland, South Korea.
During Togo’s campaign to reach the World Cup, Adebayor said, “If I have to kill someone to reach Germany next year, I will.” African goalkeepers felt his wrath as Adebayor lit them up for 11 goals during qualifying–more than any other African player. Still, Adebayor’s attitude has been a distraction for past coaches and teammates.
Did you know: Adebayor is nicknamed “the new Kanu” in reference to his idol, Nigerian legend Nwankwo Kanu, and wears the No. 4 for Togo as Kanu did for Nigeria.
