Kudus, who has been in a rich vein of form for Ajax in an interview reiterated desire to make a big impact at the World Cup.
“It feels really good to be honest [going to my first world cup] but it will be better with better performances and leaving a mark over there [in Qatar]. The goal is not just to play at the World Cup. The goal is to leave a mark as a nation and we really want to do well,” Kudus Mohammed told TV3
“My personal goal comes with the team and it’s because if the team doesn’t go far then the personal goals don’t come in. Like I said before, the main goal is to help the team get out of the group. The further we go, the more they see the individuals.”
“I think it’s one step at a time. Right now the main focus is to get out of the group and the next challenge comes,” he added.
