First words as a Blues player for the now former Napoli defender: “The Premier League is the best league in the world. Naples had become my home, but after 8 years I needed a new challenge”
Kalidou Koulibaly does not forget Naples, but faces the new adventure with Chelsea with great enthusiasm, releasing the first official statements as a Blues player. “Naples had become my home, but after 8 years I needed a new challenge. When Chelsea came forward I had no doubts: they had already tried with me in 2016 but it had not been successful, when they recovered. I knew I would accept. Jorginho asked me a month ago if I wanted to come to Chelsea. I told him that if they asked for me I would be happy, but that I didn’t want to be proposing me. They looked for me. ”
ENTHUSIASM

“Tuchel called me – admits Koulibaly – and told me he wanted me to come, I immediately said yes. I will have to adapt to the Premier League, the best football in the world. It is played differently from Serie A: in Italy everything is more tactical,” in England everything was much faster. Several players told me that I should have come to the Premier League already 2-3 years ago, but I wanted to wait for what I thought was the right moment now. “
