Kudus picks between Messi and Ronaldo, Accra and London
The video, filmed as part of what seems like a promotional shoot with his sponsors Skechers, showed Kudus taking shots at two mini poles to reveal his preferences instead of giving verbal answers.
The session began with football’s biggest debate — Messi or Ronaldo — and true to his past comments, Kudus aimed straight for Messi’s side, reaffirming his admiration for the Argentine legend.
From there, the 25-year-old continued with a mix of football and lifestyle questions.
He chose bright boots instead of black ones, goals over assists, and confidently picked chipping the goalkeeper over a nutmeg.
When faced with choosing between a “solo goal” and a “team goal,” Kudus went for the former — a decision that sparked playful reactions online, with some fans joking that it reflected his flair for individual brilliance.
His next choices gave a glimpse into his personality off the pitch. Kudus opted for a headset instead of a speaker and preferred a “chill day” to a “night out,” aligning with his sister Memunatu’s description of him as calm and reserved.
The midfielder also selected gaming over Netflix before closing the round with perhaps his most heartfelt pick — Accra over London.
