Struggling to live up to expectations at Lille, Salomon Kalou faced criticism from fans after a lackluster performance in a Champions League match against Bayern Munich. Despite attempts to contribute to the attack, Kalou’s imprecise passes and insistence on dribbling drew criticism. Substituted in the 56th minute, he was booed by the crowd. Coach Rudi Garcia defended Kalou, citing his return from injury and emphasizing the need to manage his playing time. Despite the mixed reception, Kalou is seen as a key player by teammates, with hopes that he will deliver stronger performances in upcoming matches, starting with the game against Valenciennes.
