Among the many old guard footballers who have betrayed the fans’ expectations there is certainly one Lassana Coulibaly. And the whole team suffers greatly from the seriously insufficient performances of a boy who dragged Salernitana for two years, winning the hearts of the people and the starting shirt only to then encounter a season to forget.
Already from the summer retreat there were negative signals, with the argument with a teammate and the pitch abandoned during training. Then a series of low grades on the report card and performances in total contrast to the pharaonic ones of previous years, when the cost of his card was around 10 million euros and there was insistent talk of Naples’ interest.
What happens to Coulibaly? What happened to the lion of the midfield who towered over the Serie A champions, scoring, from time to time, very high quality goals also thanks to the work of a capable coach like Paulo Sousa? At San Siro, at the time of the substitution and on the day of Liverani’s debut, he left without saying goodbye to the coaches and teammates. And, from someone who has been here for some time, it is surprising and unacceptable behavior.
According to what is filtering out in recent hours, he too would have asked the club to be sold before leaving for the African Cup. The good Lassana would therefore also be included among those players who “publicly say one thing and privately behave differently”. A divorce will take place at the end of the season. Certainly there are different figures compared to what the company would have earned in the real estate sector. Lazio are following him with interest, Fabiani and Bianchi (who brought him to Salerno on a free transfer also thanks to Castori’s recommendation) would gladly embrace him again.
