Wesley Fofana responds to video where he appeared to ignore Chelsea supporters at Wolves
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!One of the bright spots in Chelsea’s season so far has been the return of Wesley Fofana, who missed the entire previous season due to injury. Despite the setback, Fofana has made a strong comeback, starting in both of Chelsea’s Premier League games this season under Mauricio Pochettino. He has formed a promising defensive partnership with Levi Colwill, although they have faced some criticism from former player Frank Leboeuf.
Off the pitch, Fofana recently found himself in the spotlight after a video surfaced showing him seemingly avoiding fans after Chelsea’s 6-2 victory against Wolves. In the video, Fofana appears to take a phone call and walk away, which led to some frustration among supporters.
However, Fofana quickly addressed the situation on Twitter, clarifying that he did greet fans after putting his bag on the team bus. He expressed amusement at the misunderstanding, reassuring fans that he did take time to interact with them.
This incident highlights the challenges that both players and managers face in maintaining positive relationships with the fanbase, especially at a club like Chelsea where expectations are high. Enzo Maresca, who has recently taken charge, experienced some frustration from the home crowd during the opening match of the season due to dissatisfaction with the team’s slow build-up play, which is integral to his tactical approach.
Moises Caicedo’s comments over the summer, where he mentioned sometimes preferring to play away from Stamford Bridge, add another layer to the dynamic between the team and its supporters. However, after a convincing win at Wolves, there is hope that optimism will grow among Chelsea fans as they look forward to their next Premier League fixture.
