Senegal captain, Kalidou Koulibaly has come out to admit that he still bites his fingers after he turned down a call to feature for France in international matches. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the fact is that everyone wants to play for the French national selections but he squandered the opportunity and he might live to regret it.
Koulibaly added that he also waited 2 years to play for the Senegal team, and this made him miss 30 games for his country.
His words, “Those who hesitate? I put myself in the box because I am part of it too. I came late, I joined the national team of Senegal at 24 years old when I had already been asked one or two years before.”
“It is true that it is a reflection to have, everyone wants to play for the French national selections. But afterwards, when you realise that you’ve wasted your time, you bite your fingers.”
“Personally, I really bit my fingers. I knew Senegal could give me the chance to play internationally, and despite that, I waited two years. And two years, that’s about thirty games. I was unable to play for 30 games with my national team and I still bite my fingers today.”
