After a nightmarish season with Chelsea, Wesley Fofana is far from reassuring one of his glorious tricolor predecessors with the Blues. Frank Leboeuf judged him harshly.
Arrived at Chelsea in the summer of 2022, Wesley Fofana was expected as one of the great hopes for the renewal of the London defense. But like an entire club, the Frenchman has not been present this season. For him, however, the situation is a little different since he had to face two long stoppages related to a knee injury. However, his last performance, Thursday evening against Manchester United (4-2, late match of the 32nd day of the Premier League)was not at all to Frank Leboeuf’s taste.
Consulting for ESPN, the 98 world champion was even rather pessimistic for his tricolor successor in the defense of the Blues. ” I always want to hope that I am not mistaken and that he will correct the trajectory of his career, explained Frank Leboeuf. He has everything it takes to become one of the best centre-backs, but he has to grow. He is now playing for a big club and he has to grow very quickly, making sure his choices don’t put his team in danger. »
“Naïve and immature reaction”
Returning to the match lost by Chelsea in Manchester, the former RC Strasbourg player continued his analysis when discussing the penalty caused by Fofana in the 72nd minute. ” His frustration today (Thursday evening), when Bruno Fernandes put a small bridge on him, his reaction was very naive. It was immature and he needs to react better. With any luck, all of this will soon be forgotten. If he continues like this, he will seriously damage his career, that’s for sure. A serious warning sent by Frank Leboeuf, which Wesley Fofana may have heard.
