During a recent interview with the club, Folarin Balogun spoke of his relationship with Eric Dier, a meeting that became established as soon as Dier arrived in Monaco. The American international, who perhaps delivered his best match in Monegasque colours against Strasbourg, stressed the importance of this link to facilitate Dier’s adaptation. Their proximity began with breakfasts where they were able to exchange, creating a fluid and pleasant communication. Balogun sees Dier as a prime player, an experienced professional whose experience and experience can greatly benefit the team, especially in moments of pressure. It is certain that the entire Monegasque club is delighted with the arrival of Dier.
For Folarin Balogun, AS Monaco is a reminder of Sporting Portugal, where Leonardo Jardim started his career. He is impressed by the number of young talents gathered in Monaco and appreciates the opportunity to pass on his experience to help them in their development. This atmosphere of training and potential is familiar to him and motivates him to invest fully in the team. He expressed his enthusiasm for playing alongside Dier, especially during the Champions League matches, where he hoped to contribute to the club’s success for a second consecutive season.
Beyond team dynamics, two major goals currently occupy the thoughts of Folarin Balogun: participation in the Champions League and the possibility of finding the jersey of the England team. He sees these two aspects as important steps in his career and strives to give the best of himself to achieve these goals. His optimism and motivation testify to his commitment to AS Monaco and his desire to contribute to the glory of the club.
