In his pre-Chelsea presser, Regis Le Bris was asked about Jermain Defoe's recent visit to the Academy of Light, the opening of the new bridge and Noah Sadiki's nomination for Young African Player of the Year.
RECENT DEFOE CHAT
“We had a really short chat but it was really interesting to connect with players who were really important for the club. I think the legacy is really important in England, and I appreciate discussing it with those players.”
KEEL CROSSING BRIDGE
“I think it’s a really good connection with the city. We want to create this identity and the bridge is from the city so it’s a good symbol, a really strong symbol of this idea.”
SADIKI YOUNG AFRICAN POTY
“We don’t know (his ceiling) yet! He’s again really well-connected with our identity, he’s really alive both in his personality and as a player. He is really coachable, we are talking football and only football which for me is really important because he is connected with one purpose: I want to be the best player as possible. I think it fits well with what we want to develop here. And he’s a really good player, which is useful for a coach.”
