• The winger has stated that he can be faster than the time he clocked at the tournament
• Sulemana set the record in Ghana's final game against Uruguay at Al Janoub Stadium

Black Stars winger Kamaldeen Sulemana has reacted to being named the fastest player at the just ended World Cup in Qatar.

Sulemana recorded the fastest speed during the tournament in Qatar with a run of 22.18mph in the game against Uruguay.

He beat Nico Williams (22.12), David Raum (22.00mph), Antonee Robinson (21.99) and Daniel James (21.99mph) to emerge the fastest at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Although Ghana exited the tournament at the group stage, the Stade Rennais winger held his enviable record.

"I don't think it was the counterattack because running with the ball is different," he told 3 Sports as quoted by GHANASoccernet.

"It was when I was running back, you know we were down 2-0 and then it was like five minutes to go and there was a counter against us, so I had recovered back. I saw a player who was free, so I had to sprint. I was not even running fast," he added.

Sulemana played less than sixty minutes in Qatar, making substitute appearances at the World Cup. Injuries have hampered the progress of the young winger, a setback he is hoping to avoid ahead of the resumption of Ligue 1.

"I've been getting a lot of injuries and it frustrating. My priority is to stay fit and be on the pitch more," he continued.
