Ajax Amsterdam defender Calvin Bassey has described Ajax teammate Mohammed Kudus as a man on fire in the wake of the Ghanaian midfielder/ forward’s impressive performance in the 2022 FIFA World Cup taking place in Qatar.
Nigerian born Bassey reacted to Kudus’ brace in Ghana’s 3-2 win over South Korea that revived the Black Stars hopes of qualifying to the Round of 16.
Kudus scored with a header in the 34th minute off a cross from Jordan Ayew and bagged the winning goal in the 68th minute with a neat one time left foot finish.
Reacting to his teammate’s brace and overall performance that earned him the Man of the Match award, Bassey stated in a training session.
“Starboy…He’s on fire, he’s on fire. Good player. I am happy for him he deserves it” the Nigerian international said.
Bassey started for Nigeria in a 1-1 draw against Ghana that had the Black Stars secure its spot in the World Cup. Kudus started for Ghana in the game played in Abuja.
