Kurt Zouma

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

First impression: Damn, that guy can jump!

His leaping ability is surely impressive, but the way he performs the header in the air like a freaking whip is just unreal.

New Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma is known for his tough tackling on the field – but it still comes as a bit of a surprise when you learn who he’s named after.

The 19-year-old Frenchman takes his moniker from Jean-Claude Van Damme’s character in Kickboxer, Kurt Sloane.

He was given the name by his parents, who were apparently big fans of the Belgian actor and martial arts expert.

As a JCVD Fan this has made my day

I just like the fact his middle name is apparently 'Happy'

Can someone tell me more about his style of play?

Because of his nationality, I keep thinking about Gallas and how he played for us...

Why was he not playing last 2 games for saint etienne?

If he wants to play some role next year here, he will have to be in good form and condition.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Good finish, considering the pass was played behind him.

He's played for them in almost every other game.

Again on the bench today. Last time he started was against Marseille on feb. 16th. Does anyone know what's the matter with him?

maybe ,they dont want to play a player, they no longer own

That's normal as the term adjust for the future, its very understandable to want to keep the player on loan as a good depth player. I mean he played in the friendly that could be a reason but I think it's more about working on tactics that will benefit their future, a future Zouma is no longer a part of.

[mediator 2,026]

That's stupid, they are fighting for the 3th position and a place in the champions league.

You play your best 11 even if it's with someone on loan
