Hoffenheim coach Sebastian Hoeness praises Ihlas Bebou
Ihlas Bebou has been singled out for praise by Hoffenheim coach Sebastian Hoeness.
Hoffenheim coach Sebastian Hoeness has lavished praise on Ihlas Bebou in the wake of Sunday's 4-0 victory over Werder Bremen, which saw the 26-year-old score and set up a goal.
"He's a player who can really take the spotlight," Hoeness told reporters and went on to refer to the previous games against Dortmund (2-2) and Molde (3-3), "in which [Bebou] also played very well, but didn't show the efficiency needed."
"He's creating chances, and that's good for a start. But I thought it was amazing how cool he stayed in front of goal against Werder.
"He's a super character, who will continue to work and be enormously important for us as a team."
The 26-year-old has made 27 appearances for Hoffenheim this season with six goals and nine assists to his name.
