Chelsea midfielder Bakayoko: Monaco move no step back
Posted Wednesday, September 04, 2019 by Tribalfootball.com
Tiemoue Bakayoko has elaborated on his decision to join Monaco from Chelsea.
The French midfielder has returned to Monaco on a season-long loan.
He left the Ligue 1 club for Chelsea in 2017 and spent last season at AC Milan.
And Bakayoko views playing for Monaco as an opportunity to reignite his career.
"There was a good opportunity to come back here in a very good project," said Bakayoko.
"Lots of people will perhaps say that I am taking a step back by coming to Monaco but I see it differently.
"My two experiences abroad allowed me to play a lot, contrary to what a lot of people have said.
"My season in Milan brought me a lot in terms of new avenues of football and professionalism. I have taken a lot of positive things away from it.
"The club is what is important today. I do not think about my personal ambitions.
'I want to try to perform well on the pitch to help the club reach its objectives.
"Les Bleus, I think about it, but it will come as and when. I come back with a new standing, I really want to bring to this group what I have learned and to try to transmit more confidence here."
