"He said I had to work really hard and that I can become one of the best strikers in the country.
"That I don't have to lower my level and train really hard. He knows that I have everything needed, but that I have to keep working."
Fofana added : "We talk a lot, he is like a family friend. He gives me good feedback. We Africans can say that "that is an uncle", but he is not - but he is someone who means a lot to me. We show each other respect."
