Chelsea legend Marcel Desailly has issued a candid assessment of French defenders Benoît Badiashile and Axel Disasi, claiming they have yet to live up to their potential.
Speaking on the center-backs’ status at Stamford Bridge, the World Cup winner emphasized that while the duo possesses clear talent, they currently remain peripheral figures beneath the club’s massive expectations.
Desailly noted that both players must adapt quickly to the intense, high-tempo nature of the Premier League. He stressed that identifying and matching opposition movements remains a crucial developmental hurdle for the pair.
