Kalidou Koulibaly, Senegalese defender and teammate of Nicolas Jackson shared his views on the striker’s potential.
According to Koulibaly, Jackson has all the qualities to become a world-class player, but it starts with personal belief.
“Nico Jackson must believe he can be world class. All the players who won the Ballon d’Or believed in it. So we have to put that in Nico’s head”he said.
For Koulibaly, the objective is clear: to inspire Jackson to aim high without losing his collective sense. “ I’m not telling him to be selfish and ignore his teammates, but he has to think about the Ballon d’Or.”he explained.
The defender insists on the importance of visualizing this ambitious objective: “If you put that image in his head, he can do it. And that’s what I tell him all the time. »
With such support and encouragement, Nicolas Jackson might just be motivated to excel.
It remains to be seen whether these words will bear fruit and whether the striker will follow the advice of his experienced teammate to take a decisive step in his career.
