As the second round of group games gets underway in Qatar, teams are putting their stars on display for the world to see, with the World Cup the perfect showcase for some players to move on once the tournament is over. As is well known, the African continent is looking to transcend in an important way, and to do so, its constellation of stars wants to earn a place among the best.
One team that despite the defeat in their presentation left a good feeling is Ghana, who sold the defeat against Portugal, where they came close to getting a draw after a viral mistake by goalkeeper Diogo Costa. But the "Black Stars" are more than speed and strength, a clear example of quality being FC Ajax midfielder Mohammed Kudus, who surprised even Cristiano Ronaldo in the middle of the pitch.

Henderson fed up, here's what he said ahead of England v USA where he will be a substitute again
Kudus, 22 years old and who was recently compared to Sadio Mané, is living a great moment, as he is an undisputed starter in the Dutch coach Alfred Schreuder, who, before his star travelled to Qatar, spoke highly of the Danish-trained Nordsjænd midfielder. During the last Africa Cup of Nations, Mané praised Kudus, who took the words of the world superstar in gratitude.
Kudus' technique has raised eyebrows in the Premier League, where there is another club interested in acquiring his services. Liverpool will have to enter the fray with Tottenham Hotspur who have also raised their hand through Antonio Conte, rival of our head coach Jürgen Klopp, who has so far kept a low profile in the transfer window which is about to start with their winter transfer window (January).
Ghana and Kudus will have a tough test when they take on South Korea, who took a point from Uruguay, on matchday two. Needless to say, this game will mark the early future of the "Black Stars", for if they lose, they will be out of Qatar in just two games. The Ghanaian's contract expires in the summer of 2025 with the Dutch side, he has 10 goals in 21 games played at this stage of the season, which had the break for the World Cup. Transfermarkt puts his price at around 15 million, a laughable figure.
