We have a generation of weak adults who can barely look after themselves bringing up kids, that’s the biggest problem, poor role models, how can they help their kids to become good adults when they can’t even get their shit together themselves.
🇸🇳🗣️ Kalidou Koulibaly: "Sometimes people ask me why I chose to play for Senegal instead of France. I believe in fate. I always say that I am the fruit of two cultures - the French and the Senegalese. I am very proud to be French. But for me, representing Senegal has been God’s plan."
"There has been something inside of me since 2002, pulling me toward that fate. I remember back when Aliou took over the team in 2015, he called me and said, “Kouli, we’re going into a new cycle, and we need you. You must come with us.”
"He took a chance on a 24-year-old who was still sitting on the bench for Napoli. He believed in me. So I had to believe in Senegal."
"When I called my parents to tell them my decision, it was the only time in my life that I have seen them excited about football."
"Me representing my country is not just about a football match. It is about my blood, and my history, and the dreams of my parents. I’ll NEVER forget the day that I became captain." (@PlayersTribune)
Today, Senegal will play against France.
