Valencia manager Marcelino believes his team midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia's playing quality is not less than that of Manchester United star Paul Pogba's.
“Kondogbia didn’t only play brilliantly against Sevilla, but he has had a lot of excellent games throughout the entire season,” Marcelino told his press conference referring to last week win (0-2 against Sevilla).
“He is a key player for us, he is important for how we play and although I don’t follow how the other French midfielders are getting on, recently I don’t think that some of them would be close to how Kondogbia is playing,” Marcelino continued.
“We saw Pogba play against Sevilla and Kondogbia against the same opponent and there isn’t any kind of comparison to be made…
“As always, however, I have total respect for the national team managers and as Valencia boss I am happy that he is here with us,” Valencia boss concluded on the matter.
Let's recall that Paul Pogba was selected for France national team latest squad, while Geoffrey Kondogbia is yet to wait to being called in for the international clashes.
