Ural midfielder Ibraima Cisse has been recalling his time in the Premier League with Fulham.

Cisse joined the Russian Premier League club this season.

He told Metaratings: "When you play against the best teams in the world, it's an incredible feeling. These games are full of intensity, and many great players have participated in them."

On working with Claudio Ranieri, Cisse also said: "I didn't talk to him much in person. But when he arrived at the club, he made it clear that he was counting on me. I was able to play against Manchester United and Arsenal because of his faith in me.

"It is a pity that Claudio Ranieri left during that period."
