After a mixed season in London with Chelsea, defender Kalidou Koulibaly decided to leave the old continent and relaunch his career in Saudi Arabia. Since this summer, the captain of the Senegalese selection has joined the ranks of Al Hilal. Guest of the Canal Plus + show, the former Naples player returned to what could have compromised his chances of success with the Blues.
« I learned a lot. Even if things didn’t go the way I wanted on the pitch, I knew my abilities and my limits. It was very difficult to fit in among so many players. Among so many players, he was a very important player for Napoli. Initially, things were going well under Tuchel’s leadership, but things became more difficult with a change of coach and the arrival of new players. It hurt me a lot because I wanted to show everyone that I had the level to play in the Premier League. I had a few good matches, but it wasn’t enough, so I decided afterwards that I had to leave and I had to accept it. Maybe it should have happened before or after, but it certainly wasn’t the right time and we have to accept thatr,” said Kalidou Koulibaly.
