The Ajax attacking midfielder rates himself as a better footballer ahead of the Paris Saint Germain superstar.
Ghana international Kudus Mohammed has said that he is one of the hugely talented footballers and better than Brazil forward Neymar Jr.
“He’s not better than me. He’s just a higher profile player, that’s all,” Kudus Mohammed told English tabloid Guardian in an interview
“He is Neymar, captain of Brazil and superstar. Me is Mohammed Kudus, the talented Ghanaian midfielder and burgeoning superstar.”
In September, the two players had spicy exchanges when Brazil beat Ghana in friendly in Le Havre.
“He was defending his country and I was defending mine. I wasn’t about to let him push me around. What makes him better, for now, is that he has achieved a lot,” he says. Then, with fire in those eyes, he gives a promise: “I’ll get there soon.”
The pair could, depending on how things finish in Group G and H, clash once more in the round of 16. “We could meet again, yeah?” he asks. “Me and Neymar, part two. I’m sure he would enjoy it.”
Kudus and his teammates at Ghana will begin their 2022 World Cup campaign against Portugal on Thursday afternoon.
