‘I often talk about Napoli in Chelsea’s locker room’

Coaches come and go, but the Senegalese plays. Kalidou Koulibaly was a regular during his eight years at Napoli, and when he switched over to Chelsea, the coach who brought him in, Thomas Tuchel, was sacked. Graham Potter came in and initially Koulibaly went to the bench for two games, and then became a regular member. The team have kept four clean sheets in the eight Premier League games which he has started.You can take the man out of Naples but you can’t take Naples out of the man #Koulibaly #Napoli pic.twitter.com/LOMLOWv0qG— Italian Football News 🇮🇹 (@footitalia1) November 1, 2022 The Senegalese captain missed last three games due to injury, but might play in the last round of the Champions League against Salzburg on Wednesday. And Koulibaly talked for the Italian newspapers about his adaptation in the Premier League.“The beauty of football is also this, I arrive with a coach who wanted me at all costs and then he leaves. Both Tuchel and Potter play with the three-man defence. At Napoli I was used to playing with a four-man backline. It’s another arrow that I put in my bow, you never stop learning. I knew I was going to have a hard time, and it has been this way. Even Zola, Drogba had anticipated it would be and told me” said the Senegalese to Corriere della Sera.’Koulibaly has no personality in Chelsea’Off course, Koulibaly is referring to former Chelsea players Didier Drogba and Gianfranco Zola, who both left a mark in the club’s history (especially the Ivory Coast striker), but both struggled in their maiden seasons in the Premier, before settling in. Former Napoli captain also revealed that he very much supports his club from Italy and checks the scores regularly.“I believe in destiny. My period was over, I had given everything. From the point of view of emotions it changes little. I feel every goal, every victory, as if I lived them first hand. Do you know what I’m talking about in the Chelsea locker room? Of the victories of my former teammates. And do you know why? I’m proud of it. I often hear from Anguissa and Osimhen. I have also exchanged messages with Kvara, whom I don’t know yet” admitted Koulibaly.##NAJAVA_MECA_6778788##
