The Senegalese striker has played a leading role with Damac FC for several weeks after having had a sluggish start under the colors of Al-Shabab. This Friday, he found the net again in the Saudi Pro League.
Five small goals during his 33 matches with Al-Shabab last season, then three goals in his last three matches with Damac FC: Habib Diallo, after a sluggish debut in the Al-Shabab jersey, seems to have found good fuel in the Saudi Pro League for several weeks. Loaned by the “White Lions” to “Knights of the South” During the last days of the last summer transfer window, the Senegalese striker suffered from acclimatization in Saudi Arabia. He himself recognized it a few months ago.
“At first it was complicated, but these are things that happen to everyone. Every footballer has been there. The start of the season was complicated for me, but I’m coming back little by little. I hope it continues like this, continuing to score debuts for club and national team.”he admitted last March, during a gathering with the Senegal National Team. “I think the CAN allowed me to get back to a top level. » At the top level, this can in any case be seen in his last matches with Damac FC.
Diallo has found a smile again
The former Racing Club Strasbourg Alsace and FC Metz player has managed to move up a gear since the start of the late month of October. Since his assist delivered during a 1-0 victory against Al-Shabab, Habib Diallo, at the age of 29, has been effective and has scored three goals in his last three Championship matches. This Friday, on the occasion of the 9th day of the Saudi Pro League, the 2022 African champion once again found the net, with an equalizing goal at 1-1 in the draw against Al-Riyadh (2-2) .
With Cameroonian international winger Georges-Kévin Nkoudou, he forms a formidable duo, and this was reflected in the goal against Al-Riyadh, where Diallo, receiving an excellent against Nkoudou made a superb dive to score of the head. Good in his crampons, the Senegalese is also good in his daily life. The number 80 of Damac FC is very much a part of daily life in Saudi Arabia, mainly in Khamis Mushait, in the south-east of the country. We will have to remain consistent to keep Damac FC away from the red zone of the Saudi Pro League.
