Kudus responded to criticism from some Ghanaians about his performance in the game with a series of comments on social media. While some considered the criticism directed at the West Ham player to be abusive, Saddick Adams believes it was simply criticism. “Fans are like that, they are fickle,” Adams said. “What is not abuse is when someone says you should have played this pass before. Don’t do that; this is not something a professional footballer of your caliber should do. That is not abuse towards you.” Adams explained that fans are likely to express their thoughts and emotions about every action during a game on social media, which can sometimes lead to harsh comments. “Also, when some of these things happen, it happens in the heat of the moment,” Adams said. “Your heart intensely follows the game. When the game is in progress, a big game of that nature is like a market. Everyone is screaming; some criticize them, some praise them, some express something, others are controversial because everyone has a phone.” In his response to the fans, Kudus urged them to remain silent and not comment on his game. One of the critics, commenting on Kudus’ performance, said, “They should tell Kudus the truth. He is not Messi or Ronaldo. He should stop doing too much and release the ball quickly.” Kudus responded with, “Masa, shut up!” Despite the online criticism, Kudus had a decent performance in the game, contributing to Ghana’s 4-3 victory over CAR in their fourth match of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Jordan Ayew scored a hat-trick, and Fatawu Issahaku also scored for Ghana, while CAR’s star striker, Mafouta, scored a hat-trick for his team.Mohammed Kudus, the Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Eredivisie club Ajax and the Ghana national team, has denied allegations of abuse made against him.
