Salomon Kalou kicks off his season in the same vein as he finished the previous one. The Lille striker netted a goal in the match against Evian, contributing to his team’s 3-0 victory. This marks his 14th goal of the current calendar year, putting him on par with the Swedish PSG star.
Expressing his satisfaction, Kalou stated, “It’s nice given the number and quality of attackers playing in Ligue 1. Being at this level gives me even more confidence. I have to continue this momentum. (…) In fact, it’s really nice to be in front of Ibrahimovic. He’s a high-class striker, so coming up against this kind of people allows me to surpass myself, to give the best of myself,” during a press conference.
