So after all that Sari did not include Koulibaly in the starting line up? Sari is a first class douche bag in my opinion. I mean Koulibaly is about to become a father for the first time why not just let him have some time off

What if they got an injury or red card, and needed Koulibaly, who would have come in?

Excellent read. I think Sarri was "testing" or "toughening" him. The fact that Koulibaly can talk about it fondly now shows he passed the test. If he had done "Yes Massa" and missed his son's birth, he could have been hating himself, while Sarri may not hav respected him as much. And that Sarri benched him after all that was a real lesson to the discerning about what is really important in life.

Knew next to nothing about Koulibaly, but much respect to him for this writeup.

Uncle, You are truly a wise man! :clap: :clap:

That was the test. Sarri was building the character of a champion! This is a team sport. There was a middle there. Some would have missed their child's birth and showed weakness. Others would have completely abandoned their team in a time of need. Koulibaly took what was most important and then returned in time to fight with his team.

If you remember last summer, martial was in the same position. Unlike Koulibaly, he refused to come back and remain. Mourinho lost respect for him, thereafter.

Uncle, dude is one of the best defenders in the world, hands down! Not just in defending, but also playing the ball out of the back. The only reason he is still with Napoli is because De Laurentis refused to sell for less than 100 million last summer and no one wants to pay 100 million for a CB, not to mention an African one at that.

the same dude playing for Senegal today with the #3 shirt? No wonder they thought he was taller than he really is.

I love every inch of this write up. This is a real man right there. Much respect to him for handling adversity in a solid way.

Are you all serious right now? If any of your employers had treated you like this on the birth of your first child would you had been happy about it

football is a different culture than corporate work. In football, you need a certain type of mental toughness to succeed! Coaches test for that.

It happened to Kouli and he has told you his reaction.

Chief, Koulibaly is French oh! He was born in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, France, grew up there, and played 11 games for France's U-20s, before declaring for Senegal, according to Wiki.

Do you think people differentiate so much between a french Black and an African, especially when he switches?

that's exactly what I wanted to say. In my line of work, I would never put someone through that. But pro sports and military are different!

bros, eff the injury or red card. I would have told him i'm taking a sick day. WTF? The birth of his first child? Sarri is a mad man indeed for having the liver to even call him at 4 when his wife just delivered a baby at 1:30

You can do whatever you like. Everyone has the right to do whatever they like. That day, your coach and your teammates will realize who you truly are and how you will abandon them in the middle of battle. Its the same in the military.

The likes of Drogba have played for months with painkillers because they want to be there for their teammates and their coach and you can see the level of respect his coach/teammates have for him. Compare that with the likes of Mido, for whom ex-teammates and ex-coaches have zero respect.

anyway, there is a reason you are not a football player. it allows you to say what you would have done in an alternate universe. :lol: :lol: :lol:
