In a widely circulated video on social media, former international player Copa Barry made some revelations about Franck Kessié. He expressed his admiration for the great player Kessié has become.
Copa Barry revealed that Franck Kessié had a rather difficult start in football. He played for a relatively unknown club and struggled to showcase his abilities.
Realizing that he would have difficulty achieving his dream of becoming a great player, Franck Kessié decided to contact his teammate Copa Barry for help in joining his club.
At that time, the former Ivorian goalkeeper was playing for Oud-Heverlee Leuven in Belgium. After this exchange with his teammate, Copa Barry tried to discuss with the club’s sporting director about a potential transfer for Franck Kessié. Unfortunately, the response was not favorable.
“I’m going to tell you a little story. Franck Kessié was playing in Italy. He wasn’t well-known, playing for a small club. I knew him from the national team and I really liked him. One day, he contacted me asking for help to come and play for the same club as me. So, I talked to our sporting director. But he preferred to play smart,” confided the 2015 African champion.
Though Franck Kessié may not have achieved his initial goal, little did he know that destiny had a more glorious path in store for him. Later on, he would prove himself and find his place at AC Milan. Subsequently, he would move to Barcelona before finally landing in Saudi Arabia. A brilliant journey of which Copa Barry is proud.
“A few months later, bam! Franck Kessié explodes at his club and is transferred to AC Milan. After a great season, he moved to Barcelona. Then, he landed in Saudi Arabia. In the national team, he is an African champion. God’s plan is magnificent. Franck Kessié, I adore you. You are a warrior,” he added.
