Wesley Fofana left AS Saint-Etienne for Leicester on September 29. He played his last match with the Greens three days earlier, entering the break after the home defeat against Stade Rennais (0-3). Since then, his former partners have played five games and have lost them all. The young 19-year-old Marseillais for his part made his hole in the Foxes, impressing observers. There is a real cause and effect link between his departure and the downward spiral into which ASSE has fallen.
“You have an injury and the opportunity you had is over”
An observation that feeds even more the regrets of the supporters of Saint-Etienne. Should he really give in to the English sirens or follow Claude Puel’s desire to keep his nugget one more year. Should we believe Fofana when he explained that this transfer would allow him to put his family to safety? In France Football of the day, the experienced Brazilian defender of OGC Nice Dante (37) answered it.
“He already wants to insure his family because he has a lot of talent but does not know what can happen to him behind. You have a big injury, a difficult moment, the team is not doing well, and the opportunity you had is When I left home, I had the responsibility to help a lot of people. They were waiting for me to succeed. It’s not easy to manage that. Sometimes players want to take their first chance right away. . Football goes very fast. “
