In an interview with Fifa.com , Guinea coach Didier Six praised Naby Keita. According to the former French international, the strong personality of his captain is, in fact, comparable to that of Zinédine Zidane. Especially in their way of communicating.

“ Naby Keita is a magician with the ball and he has a strong personality . That’s why I gave him the captain’s armband . ” On Fifa.com, Didier Six reiterates his love for the national Syli metronome. Undoubtedly the best Guinean player of the moment despite the many injuries that undermine his career. Keita is, in fact, much more than a star for Didier Six. He’s a messiah. “ When he came back from injury, I fielded him twice in four days and he helped us a lot . He notably scored against Mali, away from home ”,explains the French technician. Author of 48 goals and 39 assists in club, Naby Keita remains an essential element for Didier Six.

Thus, the return of the former Horoya AC player in the midfield of the Reds is good news for Liverpool. A sign of hope for the Syli. The coach of Guinea therefore knows how precious the presence of the champion of England is for his team. “He always puts himself at the service of the group. For their part, his partners are doing all they can to help him. His talent and his fighting spirit are precious assets on the field. He is never disrespectful to his teammates. The way he talks to them reminds me of the way Zidane addresses his players. I think he gets his messages across very well , ” praises the Syli coach.

A qualification to be sought in two matches

On the Guinean bench since 2019, Didier Six wants to leave an indelible mark at the head of the national Syli. The French technician dreams of offering the band to Keita much more than a qualification for CAN 2021 . Second in group A, Guinea (8 pts, +3) is one victory away from Cameroon 2021. A ticket to seek in two matches. First against the leader, Mali (1st, 10 pts, +4 points), next March 24. And then for the third, Namibia (3 pts, -3). But Naby will only play the first game .
