The wildcard Juande

By José David López .-

Lassana Diarra

to compensate for the lower reaches of troops in midfield, is an express request Juande Ramos and have four years ahead to try to revive the best Makelele, compared with that (negatively, by the way) by appearance, qualities, and nationality.

A young man with a long shot The Joker and former Portsmouth player , a Parisian by birth but of Malian origin (such as Mahamadou Diarra ) began his footsteps as a player in Nantes , although his first great choice had it in the Le Mans , where he made himself and earned credit in the silver division of French football. Happened to modest Le Havre which definitely caught the attention of European scouts and better before making the leap to Chelsea for £ 1 million, and was named for the French Under 21.

In 2005 he began his great adventure in the Premiership, but had only minutes in the campaign where Mourinho chair and sat Blue. Debuted in October, just before the Betis Champions League, but was not followed and began to be rotated position (right-back played much for more options.)

After two years without much ability and with the idea to seek a team more suited to his intentions, he moved to 'neighbor' Arsenal, where Wenger , despite being closely related to youth values, it was in the shade and labeled a "player multifunction . Months later the door opened the way to Portsmouth.

With Redknapp as Fratton Park Guardian and as a backdrop, is midfielder reflected the progression of many expected since he was a juvenile. Has been fixed at Pompey, where in just a few months he earned the position, the credibility of the Premier and harder with the selection of Raymond Domenech (where it is usually fixed).

Diarra is not a destroyer as Makelele, but a wild card player, able to work and get to the attack on occasion. He has good movement in length and may need more continuity and clarity in their game to take a definitive step in his career. Is still untapped, is only to plug the work of its namesake Mahamadou Diarra and although not exactly that the best of his qualities, his leadership and character, to ensure high performance.
