Franck Kessié

uh here moving up to the defensive end of the midfield uh two candidates made it uh our definite candidate ibrahim sangare and our likely candidate jean-michael seri but possible candidate jean-philippe gabamin did not make it If you are looking at the YouTube, you can at least see the names of the candidates below those levels, but we won't cover it here, as I've said.

We'll talk about the starters after we've introduced the central midfielders here.

So, two definite candidates, Franck Kessier and Christ Hinao Ulleh.

both of those selected for the final squad as was the likely candidate Seko Fofana so in all five candidates in defensive and central midfield in terms of starters we think Frank Kessier is a definite starter Ibrahim Sangare a likely starter although recent games made us doubt a little bit there Excuse me.

And we give one star as possible starters to Christinau Ulle and to Seko Fofana there.

So maybe here's your answer, Paul, you know, from the off on Wednesday night, have the Chilean player on the pitch and say to him, right, get your shots away as quick as you can.

And Kessie had a header late on.

But look, you know, very poor game of football for us yesterday.

Disappointing.

Benacer was a great deal.

I mean, Kessie was a known player and said, yeah, that wasn't cheap.

But like we had been finding players over the course of a few years where you're like, wow, that's great.

Even the Hauger sale, right? Hauger scored yesterday, whereas Napoli, it was just a few million.

I think Musa was the top because I just thought in those 60 minutes, his engine was incredible.

It felt like it was one of those Kessie-type performances back in the day where it would be like, we would push, push, push.

And every single time the other team tried to get out, you would just see Kessie materialize from out of thin air, win the ball.

All right, we're back again.

I think that the same way that he's, uh, been doing the, since the rest of, of the season, I think he's doing a fantastic job on keeping everyone on their toes.

Um, now, uh, Franck Kessie is also back, uh, in the training.

Raphinha is been just recovered.

We saw him today once again, so he's got so many different options and, uh, he's doing a fantastic job on rotating because, uh, from what we saw in the middle, uh, middle week, we are gonna see a totally different, uh, team.

Kostic with two goals and a man of the match.

Kessie with a goal.

Lovely.

And Elmas sent off in the 89th minute.
