Speaking exclusively to the Guardian, Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus delves into the sheer instinct behind his breathtaking solo goal against Freiburg.
The Ghanaian football sensation likened his audacious run to Lionel Messi’s mesmerizing dribbles, emphasizing the intuitive nature of such moments.
“No, no I watched Messi do that a lot so, doing it one time, it’s in my books!” Kudus said.
The goal, reminiscent of Messi’s legendary exploits, saw Kudus embark on a dazzling run from his own half, gliding past three Freiburg defenders before calmly dispatching the ball into the net.
The strike not only showcased Kudus’ exceptional talent but also earned him widespread acclaim from football fans worldwide.
With an impressive tally of five goals in seven appearances in the Europa League this season, Kudus continues to establish himself as one of the most exciting prospects in European football.
The 23-year-old is likely to start in West Ham’s game against Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon.
