Here’s one who wants to earn his place.
Visiting a press conference two days before the clash against Belgium, Wesley Fofana played the model student on all subjects. The defender trained in Saint-Étienne, after mentioning his training friend William Saliba – “We spent great years together in Saint-Étienne, seeing him in this position makes me want to” –, went against the general opinion on the Blues’ game: “Football is about winning. I’ll let you judge. Me, I didn’t find it boring (the Blues’ game at the Euro). I enjoyed watching the guys during the competition. »
The Chelsea defender then praised the « talent immense » by Michael Olise: “It’s difficult to defend on him. He left for Bayern. I’m happy not to find him in the Premier League anymore. (Laughs.) » Above all, Wesley Fofana stepped up to debunk the false Mbappé controversy: “Everyone does what they want with their free time. Today, it was not a source of discussion, I have not heard of this story. He does what he wants. He’s a great boy, a great professional. Are we overdoing it? I don’t know. He’s the great French player, it’s normal that he gets a lot of media coverage. I find that from time to time, you go a little hard. »
Didier Deschamps must have appreciated it.
