Florent Malouda is Delhi's marquee player and he has not failed to live up to the expectations. The Frenchman has been good for the Lions, but he showed glimpses of his real abilities against Kerala on Friday.
Malouda is 36 years old now and he is not able to play like he used to, but he definitely showed what he is all about against Coppell's Kerala side. The former Chelsea man was on top of his game on the night. His strength and technique in the midfield was too much for the Kerala players to handle. The legendary player also got an assist on the night after his beautiful cross into the box was headed into the net by Marcelinho.
It won't take much for Malouda to score his first ISL goal if he continues playing like this. Delhi manager Zambrotta is very familiar with Malouda and this will be exactly what he expected from the player. The Italian will be hoping that the attacker keeps his form up.
