The 7 players to follow at CAN

Faiz Selemani (Comoros , striker, 28 years old)

Because it is an event in itself, it will be necessary to take a look in the Comoros for their first participation in the CAN. Obviously, we could have mentioned Youssouf M’Changama, who walks on water with Guingamp in Ligue 2. But that would have been too simple. The focus is more on this left winger for whom nothing has ever been easy, but who is finally a hit in Europe. Born in Marseille, Selemani dragged his gaiters for a lease in the lower French divisions without succeeding in shining (Marseille Consolat, Niort, Lorient, Tours, Ajaccio). Unlike Johnny, he left for Belgium to find success. At the Union saint-gilloise, first, then in Kortrijk where there are 9 golazos and 5 assists this season. All with a game that he admits tinged with arrogance, between leg passes and small bridges. Grigris that annoy the defenders, but which make their hair stand on end when we are on our sofa.

Ryan Mmaee (Morocco, striker, 24 years old)

This is the story of a guy born in Belgium, who will compete in the CAN in the country of his father with the jersey of the country of his mother. For the fall of the valve, we will come back, but at least the stage is set. Accustomed to the hopeful teams of Belgium, the striker ended up opting for the Atlas Lions, like his brother Samy who will also be traveling to Cameroon. Currently at Ferencváros in Hungary, Ryan is far from having a mundane background. Trimbalé in several Belgian clubs, he breaks through in Cyprus where his two full seasons open the doors to the European Cup with the Magyars. Decisive on average once per game this season, the explosive striker has put his qualities at the service of the selection: in the last six qualifying matches for the World Cup, he stood out with four goals and four assists. Since then, a bunch of African tusks have stammered. This explains the writing of his name.

Aguibou Camara (Guinea, middle, 20 years old)

The Guinean people were certainly waiting for Mady Camara. But the middle will not compete in the CAN. Regardless, coach Kaba Diawara turned to his namesake and teammate at Olympiakos. Bought in 2021 for a bite of bread at LOSC, the Guinean is the revelation of the Greek championship. Midfielder most used by Pedro Martins, trainer of Erythrólefkoi Red

Adem Zorgane (Algeria, middle, 21 years old)

“Its good adaptation in Belgium proves that he’s been well trained and he’s smart. I am very happy with his rise, with the way he is developing. We can still count on him in the near future. “ When your coach says that about you, it’s because you’re not doing too badly. And this is the case of Adem Zorgane, summoned during the last three lists of Djamel Belmadi (excluding Arab Cup). Passed by the Jean-Marc Guillou institute and the Paradou AC, the Algerian juggles between several positions: six, eight or ten, he knows just about everything in the middle. With a frightening volume of play and a tactical vision quite remarkable for his age, he “mentalizes” the game according to observers from Charleroi, his current club. And when we say current, it’s because it could quickly fly away.

I present to you Adem Zorgane (2000) from @ officielparadou in Algeria. From the formidable Academy JMG. International U23, he is a versatile midfielder with enormous talent who has won in D1 this season. He has everything to go quickly to shine in Europe. @ DZfoot # DZ pic.twitter.com / PRoOdkKWcI

selection comes out, you must always look out of the corner of your eye at players whose jersey number does not correspond at all to their position. During the CAN, some defenses could be surprised to see a number 2 make them turn their heads. And for good reason: Karim Konaté is a real goleador . In just two seasons and 29 pro games, he has already shaken the net 20 times. Considered a killer at ASEC Mimosas, he knows how to raise his level of play when necessary. Proof is with his six goals in seven African Champions League games this season. We are talking about a lively, ultra-technical and extremely skilful striker. In short, a nine mimosa as we like them and a massive asset out of the bench.

Issa Kaboré (Burkina Faso, defender, 20 years old)

Assiduous followers of the League of Talents already know his name. Right side of ESTAC, Kaboré cut his teeth with the City galaxy and in particular in Mechelen, where he played for two years. And the result is there: fast, technical, offensive, he does not usurp his number 9 with Burkina Faso. Of course, there is always a little waste lying around, but above all it highlights a constant risk-taking in the game, and that’s what we like. The proof, despite his 20 years, he is already a permanent holder in the Stallions. Its big plus: being able to assume almost all the devices, as well with three, four or five defenders. And whatever happens, he’ll be going back and forth in his hallway. The kind of premium wiper Carglass can’t offer.

Umar Sadiq (Nigeria, goalscorer, 24)

Another player revealed by Rudi Garcia. While only 18, the striker is thrown into the deep end in Serie A. Eight minutes is enough on his third entry to plant with Roma. Starter in the next match, he scores again. Alas, his advent corresponds to the last match on the bench of Rudi Garcia. And Luciano Spalletti will not give him a chance. Seven clubs followed in four years. Placed in Almería, in the Spanish second division for two seasons, he is delighted and offers hope for a climb. Third top scorer last season (20 units), he is already 8 pawns and 7 assists in 19 games. Notable performances which make that its name is breathed everywhere on the transfer market. But also in the list of the Nigerian coach. Summoned for the first time in the last two meetings, he remained on the bench. But the absence of Victor Osimhen for the CAN should leave a boulevard to the immense SuperEagle
