Spieth Eyes World Number 1 Ranking Sports43 FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 2015 El Hadji Diouf aims to score political goal KUALA LUMPUR: El Hadji Diouf’s reputation for sublime footwork and turbulent tantrums is known around the globe, but after glory at the World Cup and in England’s Premier League the veteran striker now wants political success in his native Senegal. The 34-year-old, who made his name in the Senegal side that beat World Cup holders France in the open- ing game of the 2002 tournament in South Korea, is now close to the end of his career with Sabah FC in Malaysia’s sec- ond division. Diouf’s globetrotting saw him play with Sochaux, Rennes and Lens in France, before a roller-coaster decade in England and Scotland with Liverpool, Bolton, Sunderland, Blackburn, Glasgow Rangers, Doncaster Rovers and Leeds United. No one in football disputes that he is a passionate and fre- quently kind player, always happy to talk to fans and journal- ists. But Diouf-who picked up the nickname “Serial Killer”-has also been a divisive figure. A number of incidents of spitting at opposing players and fans clouded his achievements on the ball. Diouf told AFP in an interview in Kuala Lumpur that he considered reaching the quarter finals of the 2002 World Cup as the high point of his football life. “All good Muslims dream of going to Mecca and any good footballer dreams of the World Cup,” he said. “Ryan Giggs and Eric Cantona were greats but that is missing from their records.” OHIO: Jordan Spieth of the United States plays a shot during a practice round for the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club South Course in Akron, Ohio. —AFP Father figures His temper outbursts may be among the regrets. “That is also what got me known,” he admitted. “If people liked me it is because I was a fighter on the pitch. “And as my ‘father’ Bruno Metsu always said ‘Anyone can play football, but in Spieth eyes world football it is men who win matches’.” Metsu is one of many ‘fathers’ in Diouf’s life. The much-travelled French coach-who guided Senegal as well as Guinea, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and a host of clubs-tragically died of cancer in 2013. His real father is Boubacar Diallo, an attacker who went from number 1 ranking Senegal to France and then played with Benfica in Portugal. “My only regret is that I never saw him play,” said Diouf. “Bruno was my real father, he was the most important,” said the player. “There has not been a more emotional moment AKRON: Masters and US Open champi- Rickie Fowler, of the US.

Inébranlable. En ligue 2. Beauvais est à la fois trop près de Paris, et de son encombrant voisin amiénois. Un club qui se complaît dans l'anonymat, dont il ne sort qu'a l'occasion de -très rares - exploits. Il ne peut y avoir qu'un club populaire en Picardie, et il ne se trouve pas dans l'Oise.

    ! The GFFN 100 ! A Get French Football News Publication Rights Reserved ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !1 Note From the Editor: Welcome to the Get French Football News 100, a publication that celebrates the enactments of footballers associated with French football over the course of 2013. " The Get French Football News team got together last December to bounce ideas about a way in which we could mark the end of an explosive year in French football and we invite you to indulge in the final product. " After all, it has been quite some year. Qatari-backed Paris Saint Germain lifted their first Ligue 1 title for 19 years and were unlucky to be edged out in their Champions League Quarter Final duel with one of Europe’s greatest clubs in FC Barcelona, only on the away goal rule. " French football history was made on many fronts in 2013 with a Claude Puel-inspired OGC Nice team qualifying for their first European campaign for 15 years, St Étienne winning their first ever Coupe de la Ligue and the French national team becoming the first side in history to turnaround a 1st leg two goal deficit in a European World Cup Qualifying Playo# to book their place in Brazil for 2014. " Invariably in football, where there are highs there are also lows. One of the former mainstay clubs Le Mans FC went into liquidation and were subsequently relegated to the 6th tier of French football (DH). The French football world was rocked by the loss of former manager and player Bruno Metsu who famously took Senegal to the quarter finals of the 2002 World Cup, tragically losing his battle with cancer at the age of just 59.
