Mali national team head coach Mohamed Magassouba has hailed Al Ahly star Aliou Dieng while revealing his vote for The Best won’t go for Mohamed Salah.
Mali are among the 10 teams that have reached the final round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, where they will face one of Algeria, Senegal, Tunisia, Nigeria, or Morocco.
One of the players that contributed to the Eagles’ successful journey is Al Ahly’s defensive midfielder Aliou Dieng, who played three out of the six group games, helping his nation not concede a single goal.
Magassouba hailed the Galatasaray target, saying: “Dieng is a great player and he keeps on developing.
“He has great technical and physical abilities that make him a special player and he will develop further in the future. He has the ability to play with any team in the world,” Magassouba continued on Al Ahly TV.
“The 10 qualifying teams are able to represent Africa well in the World Cup; however, Africa deserves more than five spots in the upcoming World Cups after the development of its teams and players.
“The current generation of Mali can achieve a lot despite not having many players in Europe like the past generations which had Seydou Keita and Oumar Kanouté.”
Asked about Mohamed Salah, Magassouba said: “Mohamed Salah is an outstanding player; however, my vote for The Best will go to someone from Morocco or Algeria,” he added.
