(Part 2 below)
[Must board]Fofana: Everyone in Chelsea is trying to help me recover; Colville is active and strong
Back to the topic of football. We only have a few clips. Basically, we just want to know what you think on the court, when you are on the court.
Yes, I would love to see your understanding of certain football scenes, especially defensive scenes. Hope you can choose a good clip. This is a match against Manchester City. Foden was holding the ball on the wing, what were you thinking at that time? marvelous.
Yes, I know Foden is on the outside because I saw Palmer, I think it was him.
He came very quickly and I knew he was there. But at the same time, because I remember that at the beginning of the game, I lost the ball, do you understand? I was thinking very quickly, like, stop trying to grab the ball.
Try to... stay calm. Afterwards, I saw that Cole came over quickly, too.
And, you know, he's very, very fast. Because if I get too close to the sideline, he can run to the middle and stay in the middle and shoot, which is dangerous. But, you know, in this case, you need to make a decision.
Try to make the right decision. Obviously, you touched the ball. Yes.
Chaloba cleared the ball out of the bottom line, you know, the opportunity is gone. Yes. Yes, but in this case, you need to make a decision.
But you need to make a decision quickly. Because if you waste a second or two thinking...it's too late. Yes.
Will you really consider Palmer's left foot technique?
So I need to consider my body posture. Yes, because I know his left foot. And, you know, we're going to watch every player before the game. To me, I'm a defender. I might observe my opponent's 4-3-3 formation.
The opponent will arrange three strikers to play. Because we don't know the specific situation. I need to know all the situations like Palmer likes to move in the middle and so on. When I saw Cole, I knew he was on the left. Yes.
I know he is going to run to the left. But I touched the ball, but I didn't know it very well. Because I'm kind of like...I know Cole will fake it.
Yes, so... OK. So, when he shoots, I do an interception. Yes, yes.
Because I know he will fake it. This makes a lot of sense. Because we can analyze.
So, since you came to Chelsea, which other defenders do you think have had the greatest impact on you?
has the biggest impact on me? Of course, you have to mention Thiago Silva, he is so crazy, because when you see him, you know he is so awesome. But the one who had the biggest impact on me was Khalidu Kulibali, because when I signed the contract, he also signed with me at the same time.
You know, he has participated in the Champions League and is experienced. And when he joined, he told me that if you play well or not, the impact you can show will definitely be different, because fans will look forward to your performance. I quickly got this, which puts me a little bit of pressure. After
, he told me that everyone is waiting for you. But it's easier to play. Your first game is simple, simple.
Try to keep the simplest state. After that, if you want to take risks, then take risks. But you need, for example, to sit in your position and relax. After
, you can enjoy the competition and try to challenge yourself. I remember this sentence, it worked very well for me because I was still young at the time. That happened three years ago.
I signed the contract three days after the team's first game. I felt great when he told me this.
The last question, if you are asked to choose the central defender in terms of speed, strength, experience, etc., who will you choose?
isn't it just Chelsea?
are OK.
speed…emm, I will choose myself.
We all saw your FC26 score (Fofana 79, speed is only 74)
Fofana hilarious: I know, don't mention it, I can only say that I know I'm injured... Forget it, forget it, forget it. Where is the power of
?
Strength...Kulibaly, he is too strong. What's behind.
Heading ball, air-control ability.
Sergio Ramos.
Last item, experience.
I will definitely choose Maldini. When you mention the spiritual energy of the defender, Maldini is definitely a representative figure.
