After the managerial change in summer - with Velazquez replacing Tudor - Udinese found themselves in the bottom part of the table with nine points in ten games. One of the Friulani players who seems to have found his old form back, despite the team's mixed results, is Ivorian midfielder Seko Fofana. The 23-year-old is one of the fundamental elements of Velazquez's midfield, as he have took part in all the matches so far.
"I love to play in midfield - Fofana said to La Gazzetta dello Sport - It doesn't matter if in a two- or three-man midfield, that's for the coach to decide. We are doing well, we struggled only against Napoli. This is a pivotal season for me, I have ambitions and goals, I want to have a great career. I am playing like I was in my first season here before fracturing my fibula in March 2017 against Juve. That was the toughest moment in football for me. We are more unite compared to last year, We are more friends with each other both on and off the pitch". Udinese will face another tough challenge against Milan but Fofana is up for it: "It will be a difficult game, but we want to get points. A player that I admire in Serie A? Apart from the usual big names I like Quagliarella".
The Ivorian midifielder finally discussed his ambitions for the future: "I'd like to play in European cups. I love Paris and I support PSG, but if I had to choose a club where I'd like to go one day it would be Manchester City. I was there and it's still in my head. I met Yaya Toure, my role model. He was a hero for me, now we are friends".
