Things are better at AS Saint-Etienne, which ended 2020 with a series of five unbeaten matches. But pessimists will note that Claude Puel’s men have won only one of their last 14 matches after winning the first 3. Back when Wesley Fofana was titular. When the center-back was transferred to Leicester, the Greens had already started to slip but the fall was even more painful after leaving the defensive pillar.
It appears in all the lists of consultants
The Foxes, they did not have to complain about their recruit, far from it. While Brendan Rodgers waited two or three games before throwing Fofana into the Premier League, once he gave him a chance he never took him out of his starting XI. And the Marseillais dazzled all observers of the English championship.
So much so that in this festive period, he appears in most of the lists of the best players as a central defender. Consultants from major television channels are invited to give their eleven for the first part of the season. Alan Shearer, legend of English football, champion with Blackburn in 1995, scorer in series at Newcastle, made him a holder in his dream team. Sacred recognition.
Wesley Fofana makes it in Alan Shearer’s team of the season so far. Just a reminder, he was rated behind Saliba at St Etienne but because of football reasons, he isn’t good enough to start at Arsenal. Hope this changes in 2021 👍😁, am positive. pic.twitter.com/uqHZ6MakyE
