Fofana: Maresca has always defended me since I returned to the game and I trust his arrangements for me
6686 Sports, November 15th, Fofana said in an interview with Chelsea’s official website that he wants to maintain a strong competitive state after returning from injury and help the team win the championship trophy.
About returning to the game after injury
Fofana: Stepping onto the field to help the team win the game is the best feeling, and making a contribution to the team is the best feeling for me. I feel very good now, I have been working hard to maintain a good competitive state, and I hope to continue to help the team win games.
About the assistance provided by the coaching staff and the medical team
Fofana: It is difficult for you to take your time in the football world because you have to play a game every three days, but Maresca is protecting me and encouraging me in a positive way.
I had had hamstring surgery before and I needed to be careful when returning to the field. Maresca didn't want to take risks because he wanted to take it step by step so that I could eventually play a game every three days.
My goal is to start in every game, and we need to slowly achieve that goal step by step. In addition, Maresca defended me because I am the type of player who is aggressive, fast and dares to confront opponents on the court. I understand and approve of his approach. The most important thing is to take every step well.
About the position on the field
Fofana: When the coach arranges for me to play a certain position, I know the reason. I have had a lot of communication with him. I trust him. The relationship between us is very good. I will do my best for him and the team.
About this season
Fofana: I hope to achieve more achievements with the team, because I missed the chance to help the team win the UEFA Champions League and Club World Cup last season. I am more focused on getting the championship trophy with the team and I want to experience that moment.
Of course I want to make up for lost time, but you can't get back lost time. This is a part of my life, which makes me want to win even more.
The key now is that we stay united because it is a long season with many competitions and our goal is to go as far as possible and fight for all the trophies and my goal is to fight with the team.
