He ate alone, he slept alone… For me, it’s beautiful to see because he cares deeply about it and, at the moment, he is suffering enormously from not being able to make his contribution. The fact that he put something back in place and remained standing after that collision with the goalkeeper is an important sign, and he should be congratulated. » Announced in turmoil and forced to explain himself to the media, Kolo Muani did what was necessary to turn the situation around to his advantage in two weeks. And yesterday, his coach was once again rave about him.
“Regarding the players today (yesterday), I am convinced that Kolo Muani, who delivered a very great match this evening and to whom I would like to extend my congratulations, will establish himself as the scorer that he is in this championship. He also has this ease in running that is difficult to defend against. He was unlucky today in front of goal, but then he showed great quality by not getting upset about his header being pushed off the line, as other strikers would have done. He really had an excellent match, I regretted that he didn’t score when he found himself facing the goalkeeper, he would have deserved it. But in the end he was very happy and we joked. We are all happy, because we can regain some strength and recover some players who are useful to us at the moment. » RKM will appreciate it.
