Football, Spalletti: ‘Kolo should have scored; there’s a reason he hasn’t played for two years’

Naples, 23 Aug. (LaPresse) – “We went out and signed Kolo, but you have to realise that if he hasn’t played for two years, there must be a reason.” These were the words of Luciano Spalletti, Juventus manager, speaking to DAZN after the 1–0 win at Frosinone. “Sometimes,” added the manager, speaking about the new French signing, “you think you’re at an exceptional level, but then you’ve left something behind that you need to go and reclaim. We saw again today that he can hold onto the ball, find space and is physically strong, but these are the sort of matches where he needs to score goals.”
