On November 1, Chinese time, former Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly spoke about his former teammate Jackson.
Koulibaly said, “I hope he continues to score goals. We all know that for all strikers, life is about scoring goals, and Nicolas is no exception. He has a good attitude and personality. For me, he will become Senegal’s story, just like Sadio Mané. I always tell him that he must follow in Mané’s footsteps. I hope he can become the best player in Africa, and why not in the world? He has the talent, so everything is at his feet. Nicolas must believe he can do this. This is the most important thing. All players who have won the Ballon d’Or believed they could do it. They all thought they could win this trophy. So you must put this idea into Nicolas’s mind.”
In addition, he added, “Of course, I won’t tell him to be selfish or ignore his teammates, but he must think about the Ballon d’Or. If you put this image in his mind, he can achieve it. This is what I keep telling him.”
