West Ham United midfielder, Mohammed Kudus believes his ability to play in various positions has a positive impact on the Black Stars of Ghana, adding that there’s no excuse not to perform in the crucial game.
Fresh off an outstanding first season in England, Kudus played a role as the Black Stars defeated Mali in Bamako despite criticism of his performance.
Kudus played most of the season as a winger for West Ham but was deployed behind the striker in the match against Mali last Thursday.
The former Ajax star was not at his very best in the game but insists he is always to help the Black Stars win games regardless of the position he plays.
“I am a player with the versatility to play in different positions so definitely I see that as a positive thing for the Coach. Whichever position I find myself I will do my best for the team. But my best position is the attacking midfield, which is the position the Coach is using me here so there is no excuse not to perform. I will do my best in every game,” he said at the pre-match presser for the game against the Central Africa Republic on Monday.
Currently sitting in third place in Group I with six points, Ghana is trailing behind Madagascar and Comoros, who are both also tied at six points but have a better goal difference than the Black Stars.
Ghana could occupy the top spot on the standings with a victory over the Central African Republic, taking a commanding lead in the World Cup qualifying bid.
