: Former Lensois and Boulogne Kebé Jimmy shines in Cup this time with Reading. Party discovering the Premier League, he currently plays in maintaining the second division and does not return to France this summer.
Jimmy Kebe, join England was your dream. But since your arrival, Reading went down to the second division and now struggle to maintain. Fortunately, you shine in Cup where you are now qualified to quarterfinals ...
That's clear. Last year, when we came down from the Premier League, we kept the number to try to climb quickly. It was virtually the entire season in good position. If we win the last game of the season, back in the Premier League. But we lost. We then played the play-offs for the climb but was again tilted. After the club had sold players. This season there have been many changes in players and staff. It is not clear. Here, we play continued. We hope to continue. The Cup is so special for us.
A race where you qualified Wednesday for the quarter-final against West Bromwich Albion ...
We won the second game 3-2 after extra time. I score the first goal and I'm the assist on the second which gives us extra time. Then we mark the third. We won 3-2 and they will face Aston Villa in the quarterfinals.
In the first game, you went into the history of the Cup by scoring probably could order the rapid test. Tell us ...
They had the commitment. It was instructed to press early in the game because we were at home. They are commitment and pass the ball laterally. I pressed, he stumbled a bit, I get the ball. I file the order, he remains a supporter, I shifted a little to the left and knock. At first, I did not perform too. I do not say that I scored the fastest goal in the history of the FA Cup. I say it's good, it's good for the game. After the meeting, everyone comes to me and say that I entered history with the fastest goal of the test. I was happy.
"I do not regret having come"
For you, the dream was to join England. Now, how would you assess your journey to Britain?
England is exactly as I heard him speak in terms of football. I heard that the English league was one of the best in Europe: I was not disappointed. Although for me it did not last long. I spent six months in the Premier League before going down. But in public, it's really different and I do not regret at all for coming.
The English-D2 is also something that the L2 French?
Yes, that's clear. I think there's a big difference between League 1 and League 2 in France. In England, between the Premier League and Championship, there is not much difference. Here, we play every three days, I do not know in France in Ligue 2. It's nice to play football every three days.
And you encounter mythical football clubs English as Crystal Palace, Newcastle, Ipswich, QPR, Nottingham Forest ...
Yes, that's clear. There are always big teams like Newcastle who went down but kept all his best players virtually. The championship is noted. This year, we had no weapons to fight. It's a shame.
What was the hardest in England in the lives of all days?
The language! I do not speak a word of English so it was not clear. But it fits very easily and people are super. Driving, food, okay. Except when you should eat pasta at 10:00 am on game days: things change in France from the start.
"Open to any proposal"
Personally, after a mediocre start to the season, you come back with high-speed exploits in the Cup and congratulations to your coach, Brian Mac Dermott ...
This end of season is going pretty well. Earlier this season, I was not playing. It's going better, I score, it goes well with the coach: I hope it will continue.
Where are you contractually?
I still have two-year contract. But I have some keys for next season in the Premier League or to return to Ligue 1.
A return to France could you try?
Clearly, I would not be against a return to France. I have not been so lucky in my France (Lens). I had to go abroad but now I'm open to any suggestions because I'd be very happy to come play in Ligue 1.
You might discover the League 1 with Boulogne-sur-Mer if you had stayed ...
I looked at their course in Ligue 1. It is not obvious to them but it's never always obvious to a team of L2 rising in L1. They have a very big budget. I lived with these players in League 2. For them, it is not clear.
