"Just another job"
Barca regular has lost his passion for soccer
Jules Kounde has made 17 appearances in 17 competitive matches this season - but without the passion he felt at the start of his career. The Barcelona defender now admitted this in the podcast "The Bridge".
"It's difficult for me because I have a lot of interests. I want my family to be well, but I also want to help other people. I'd be lying if I said I still love soccer as much as I did when I started my career. It was my life, but now it's just my job. When I started, everything off the pitch was secondary," the Frenchman revealed. Things are different now.
In 2022, Kounde moved from Sevilla FC to the Catalans for €50 million and has since made 105 appearances in a Barca shirt. In 2022/23, he won the championship under then coach Xavi, and the 26-year-old right-back has now also tied his boots 36 times for the French national team.
