Former Real Madrid manager, Fabio Capello, has explained why Chelsea centre-back, Kalidou Koulibaly, is struggling since moving to Stamford Bridge this summer.
The Senegalese defender joined Chelsea this summer from Serie A side Napoli but he his yet to hit top gear at the Bridge. The 31-year-old defender shown a red card after picking up two bookings against Leeds United and has faced criticism for his performance since returning from suspension.
Capello feels Koulibaly simply needs to adapt to the speed of the English top-flight league, having spent so long in the more slow-paced Serie A.
“I would like to talk about the difficulties of Koulibaly at Chelsea,” Capello told Sky Calcio Club.
“In Naples, he was doing everything by himself. His problems now depend on the speed with which they play in England. It is the same pace used by Udinese to give Roma fits. It is something that must make us Italians reflect.”
