I have to say that excluding my outnumbered lookie Likeee nonsense I've posted previously, I've always wanted him to do well. But also he had something but it just wasn't happening
It is now and fair play absolute absolute Quality
Madsen Madsen we call him madson
That should so be his chant, but no doubt it'll be duh duh duh, Niclas Madsen, or "cannot believe it's not Ball, it's Madsen you know" or some such
Fair play to Kone for saying that, it was a cross fired in so gave him something to attack, which is what all Centre Forwards want as gives him something to attack,
If you watch it Kone still had so much to do and I re-watched it as I could'nt work out live how Kone converted it,
What he did was so good as ball was bobbling (on our pitch its bound to!) but Kone used that to his advantage and jumped off his his left foot and flicked it with his right, probably only option he had and a brilliant finish.
It was a perfect cross in that it went to his feet with pace, he had to adapt with a brilliant piece of skill, but Kones point was that he played the ball as he wanted it, just as he went across his man.
If you remember in the first half RND fizzed a cross for Kone and it was more of a typical placement, in front of him, but with the angle he could only direct it near post and it went into the side netting.
Not only is it about the finish, but I love from the interview that Kone said they've been working on that run across and in front of the CB. It shows clear development for a young striker with lots still to learn - something a few of his recent critics will do well to remember!
Agree, a horrible cross to try to defend, especially against a Centre Forward as physical & strong as Kone
Defender actually closed the space well but great improvising from Kone and a superb finish,
Other Kone highlights yesterday were:
1) 96th minute defensive run across the pitch to pressure left back who shanked the ball out rather than play a dangerous hail mary diagonal into our box; Kone knew that was his and their last effort and dug deep for the team
2) Pressing, not natural to him like Burrell, but him & Vale were first line of defence yesterday and never let Coventry's defenders step up & break the line
3) Actually quicker than I thought, unless their Centre Half was Rob Dickie'esque, but after first 5 yards, once he's get going, he's not as slow as I thought
