About bright black

Club football in Europe has long been unthinkable without juicy African colors. In any of the top championships, with the possible exception of the finicky Series A, noticeable people from the Black Continent are being found. Their roles are so significant that they have long been tempted to start compiling the symbolic team of Africans who shine in the Old World. "Sport today" also could not resist.


Goalkeeper

Tony Silva (Senegal), Lille

An experienced goalkeeper and favorite of women who established a club of fans of his talent will give odds not only to other goalkeepers from Africa, but also to many Europeans. The champion of France as part of “Monaco” now works as a doorman in the “Metropol” (part of the full name of “Lille”), passing only beautiful balls.

Flank Defenders

Right: David Gemmali (Tunisia), Bordeaux

Left: Nadir Belhadj (Algeria), Sedan

It is hard to imagine Bordeaux and our symbolic team without the experienced Gemmali, who once went to the French national team. Belhadj, playing in the ranks of the outsider of the French league, became the best player in the club and attracted the attention of PSV scouts. And the Dutch, we know, are able to accurately assess talents.

Central defenders

Joseph Yobo (Nigeria), Everton

Colo Toure (Côte d'Ivoire), Arsenal

They completely took root in the brutal Premier League, entrenched at a decent level of reliability, and not today have become defense leaders in their clubs. Especially for David Moyes, we emphasize that Yobo’s “toffee” will not play on our right.

Flank midfielders

Right: Ismael Bangura (Guinea), Le Mans

Left: Al Haji Diouf (Senegal), Bolton

The young Guinean brought his club 9 points, which allowed Le Mans to stay at least for some time away from the relegation zone. Diouf, on the other hand, stopped spitting on his rivals and unexpectedly revived from the ashes of the phoenix, fitting into the game of the handsome Bolton this season.

Midfielders

Michael Essien (Ghana), Chelsea

Jean Macoun (Cameroon), Lille

Let our team and not the most creative, but reliable and efficient heart. Housewives now know Essien. At least British. Macun is confined so far to cooking from Lille. But, judging by the transfer rumors, there is every chance in the near future to expand the circle of admirers to the inhabitants of the kitchens in Italy. For example, Milanese or Sicilian.

Forwards

Didier Drogba (Côte d'Ivoire), Chelsea

Frederic Canute (Mali), Seville

Both forwards spend the best season in their careers, leading among the scorers of their championships. Drogba's dream came true, only in our assumptions. Played in England and Kanoute - his first really strong partner in the attack. It's just not known how these strikers could share scoring chances. As a last resort, the Ivorian is not accustomed to act in front alone.

Bench: Carlos Kameni (Cameroon, Espanyol), Thaye Taiwo (Nigeria, Marseille), Yaya Toure (Côte d'Ivoire, Monaco), Stephen Appia (Ghana, Fenerbahçe), Mamadou Niang (Cat d'Ivoire, Marseille), Benny McCarthy (South Africa, Blackburn), Nwanquo Canu (Nigeria, Portsmouth).

In stock, we have a stable Kameni, a star of Taiwi, creative Appia, the average of the Toure brothers and the rest are just the attack leaders of their clubs. We will especially note Kan, who devotedly devoted to the game, who, after a complicated heart operation, was able to reach a level close to the long-standing Ajax.

Rushing to the head of all sorts of ratings, Côte d'Ivoire has delegated half of its real team to our virtual team.
