Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: the “Little sister” interview with Geyoro, Karchaoui and Périsset!
Yesterday, Franck Kessié was officially presented by FC Barcelona. A weight reinforcement for the Blaugranas in midfield, who can count on a different profile from what they have. An arrival which was enthusiastic about his former coach in Cesena, Massimo Drago, who is also the one who had replaced him in midfield.
Drago ignites for Kessié!
Initially a central defender, Drago explained why he made this choice:
“I decided to place him in midfield because he hardly loses face to face. He is a player who in difficult times always ends up winning. He has physical and technical qualities to that, as a central defender he was spoiled. In the race, he is always able to stay on the move,” he told Catalunya Radio.
He then continued:
“He will surely need some time (to adapt). He has shown in recent seasons that one of his strengths is possession of the ball, so he shouldn’t suffer too much to understand the game offered by Xavi. He is very difficult to beat defensively. He can play as a pivot, but also a bit more advanced because he is powerful and scores goals”.
to summarize
While Franck Kessié was officially presented by FC Barcelona yesterday, one of his former coaches was on fire for his arrival. Indeed, Massimo Drago explained why he had replaced the Ivorian in midfield.
