“Those kind of actions are just instincts, they barely happen in the game so when I visioned it from my head, I just went with my instinct and I’m glad that the way I pictured it that’s exactly how it went and I was happy to score,” he stated explaining his goal overhead strike against Man City.
Talking about the goal against Freiburg, Kudus also revealed the motive wasn’t to score but the vision became clear when he saw there was space to attack.
“When I took the ball from the start, my thought wasn’t to score but I was just driving towards the space but as I was getting closer to the goal, the vision was clear and I was like with the distance I’m in, I need to score and in really happy that it went in, I’m glad it went in,” he added.
