On this 5th November, the African Confederation
of Football has announced a list of the ten appointed African players of the
year. Ivory Coast
is the most country represented with their three superstars, Yaya Touré winner
in 2011, Didier Drogba and Gervinho. But Drogba who won this award twice; in
2006 and 2009, will try to get the third one in order to be close to Samuel Eto’o
who won it four times. But considered as a main favourite of this special race,
the Ivorian who won the European champions league should be careful with his
national team-mates. But among those Ivorian stars, we can also distinguish the
African players who are making the continent proud in the French side (Ligue 1).
It’s a case of the Ghanaian Andre Ayew who is playing for Marseille, the
gabonesePierre Emerick Aubameyang from Saint Etienne who has revealed his
talent in the African cup of nations in well defending the colours of his host
country nations, the midfielder Younès Belhanda from Montpellier
and Morocco.
The Senegalese Demba Ba from Newcastle, the Nigerian
Obi Mikel from Chelsea, the Cameroonian Alex Song from Barcelona and finally the winner of the
African cup of nations, the captain Christopher Katongo complete the list. The ceremony
will held in Accra
on the 20th December
