The central defender, ultra solid behind and valuable on offensive set pieces, is present in the Ligue 1 typical team of the year 2024 established by the journalists of the sports daily.
2024 will have been his year. An essential element in Adi Hütter's system, Wilfried Singo first experienced great emotion with his selection of Ivory Coast when he won the African Cup of Nations played at home. He then took part in all seven matches of the competition and played the last 20 minutes of the final won against Nigeria.
A sombrero that goes around the world
Then back in the Principality where he had been particularly celebrated, the defender, capable of playing in the center or on the right, produced a real masterclass against PSG. Totally impassable, he finished the match with 88% of duels won (15/17), 10 balls recovered and… a sublime sombrero on Bradley Barcola. A totally Shockbar action that even went around the world on social networks!
A real banger against Belgrade
A major performance like so many others which allowed the Principality club to finish the season second and therefore return to the Champions League. Again imperial in this competition, he notably scored a banger against Red Star Belgrade by sending a missile into the top corner from a distance of 35 meters.
Furthermore, a scorer once again in Ligue 1 against Toulouse and a real rock at the back, Wilfried “SinGOAT” is therefore one of the key elements of the first part of the season that was successful for the Rouge et Blanc.
First central defender since Glik
Second player to have made the most interceptions in 2024 with 47, he who has just celebrated his 24th birthday is thus included in the Typical Team of the Year established by the sports daily. Present alongside, among others, Marquinhos, Ousmane Dembélé and Kylian Mbappé, he is the first central defender of the Club in this formation since Kamil Glik in 2017. Bravo Wilfried ! ????
