Ivorian attacker Salomon Kalou has given the reasons for his failed spell at Botafogo in the Brazilian league. Botafogo had experienced European football campaigners like Salomon Kalou and Japanese international star Keisuke Honda but still managed to suffer relegation from the Brazilian Serie A.
Salomon Kalou, a football veteran with over two decades of experience, holds a prominent position in the world of soccer. Hailing from Ivory Coast, Kalou commenced his league career with Feyenoord in 2003. Throughout his journey, he has proudly represented several top-tier teams. Kalou had a crucial role in the team’s success as they won multiple important trophies. He made some significant goals in these matches, and the home stadium fans backed him.
Salomon Kalou won the first and only major trophy of his career with the Ivory Coast at the 2015 African Cup of Nations (AFCON). He had earlier made his debut in a friendly clash with Guinea on February 6, 2007. His Ivory Coast debutended in a 1-0 win. Over a month later, Salomon Kalou scored his first goal for his country in a 3-0 win over Mauritius.
Ivorian attacker Salomon Kalou made the Chelsea starting XI selected by Roberto Di Matteo for the 2012 Champions League final encounter with Bavarian giants Bayern Munich. Salomon Kalou and his Chelsea teammates were up against it after the German Bundesliga team qualified for the final in their home stadium.
Ivorian attacker Salomon Kalou was in the Chelsea squad that recovered from an inconsistent form to finish the 2008/09 season with the FA Cup title under the guidance of Dutchman GuusHiddink. The FA Cup title win was made possible by the 2-1 win over Merseyside side Everton.
Salomon Kalou was in the Chelsea squad that saw off the Toffees on the way to winning their fifth FA Cup title.
Salomon Kalou and Bonaventure Kalou are brothers who represented the Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire on the international stage. Just like what was obtainable with his brother Bonaventure Kalou, Salomon Kalou began his football career at ASEC Mimosas in his native Cote d’Ivoire before he moved to the Dutch league.
As long as you’re a football fan and you follow the English Premier League a lot, you won’t need to be told that Chelsea are going through a patchy phase and are currently not in the firm they were this time last season. The Blues are currently out of form and it has had a huge toll on their season so far. For a side that were crowned the UEFA Champions League title and named the best team in Europe at the end of last season, they had only one job under Thomas Tuchel this season and that was to continue their blistering form to see if they can win the English Premier League title this season.
Salomon Kalou has reacted to former Chelsea teammate Ashley Cole after he joined Frank Lampard at Everton. Shortly after Everton appointed Chelsea legend Frank Lampard as their new manager, the former Blues midfielder requested for the addition of ex-Chelsea and England teammate Cole to his coaching staff.
Salomon Kalou believes that Ivory Coast have what it takes to win the 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament as hosts. The former Chelsea and Hertha Berlin forward backed the Ivorians for the 2023 AFCON tournament while speaking on Sports TV channel SuperSport last week Tuesday.
The Ivorian senior national team don’t need a major overhaul according to Salomon Kalou. The former Hertha Berlin and Chelsea attacker made this known in a chat with BBC Sport Africa. Salomon Kalou advised the Ivory Coast Football Federation (FIF) not to throw away all the good things achieved, but improvements can be made on the areas that are lacking.
