Chelsea's Koulibaly says no one can stop him representing Senegal
The Senegal captain said African nations deserved more respect after the president of his former club, Napoli, said he would only sign African or South American players willing to miss competitions with their national teams. "Don't talk to me about Africans anymore," Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis told business website Wall Street Italia. "I wish them well, but either they sign a waiver for the African Cup or else..." "Between that tournament and the World Cup qualifiers in South America, these players are never available!" But Senegal captain Koulibaly, who led his country to the Africa Cup of Nations title earlier this year before joining Chelsea in a reported £34 million ($41 million) move from Serie A side Napoli was unimpressed.
