Fulham FC — Fulham v Southampton — 6 January 2018

30 The Official Fulham FC Matchday Programme

watch the Premier League, that’s

still my favourite football. That’s

why it was such a dream for me

to come and play in England.

I also watched the cups, and

it’s true that the FA Cup is

something special in the UK. I

played in the competition this

time last year so I know what

it’s about.”

The games are certainly coming

thick and fast right now. It may

be tradition in England to play

over the festive period, but it’s

still taking Kebano a bit of getting

used to.

“It was a little strange for me

last season as I used to spend

Christmas with my family,” he

said. “I understand that this is

the way it works in England, I

knew before I came and I’m good

with that! Besides, you don’t have

any choice!”

After an up and down first half

of the season, Fulham have found

their feet over the festive period

to the extent that the in-form

Whites are suddenly only four

points off the top six. Hopes of a

similar Play-Off push to last year

are now not so unrealistic.

“We’re in a good run of form,”

agrees Neeskens. “I hope we can

keep it going. We’ll need to do so

if we want to reach our target.

“Even when we were struggling

during the early part of the season,

I was confident that with our

quality and the way we played

last year, I knew we’d reach our

target. I hope that more good days

are coming and we can keep these

performances going.”

“Aboubakar Kamara

can be a big success

at Fulham. He’s

going to contribute to

our season, for sure.

He’s powerful and fast

as well. So fast !”
