You keep holding ball for long you likely to get injury’s always
I said this about him when I first saw him in Nordjeland,I told some of my friends that Kudus would be perfect if he can hold on to the ball without losing it any how and also realise the ball earlier
Dr. Khedira Abdul-moomen commented:
If he loses the ball and still does the dribblings perfectly let him be, don’t frustrate the guy. Let him be. With this same style of the world still adores him, PLEASE LET HIM BE.
