El Hadji Malick Diouf keeps a cool head on his young shoulders. Liverpool or elsewhere, the left back of Slavia Prague wants to be thoughtful in the choice of his future destination. The 20-year-old Senegalese international spoke this Thursday to Czech media iDNES, according to British publications.
« I don’t know if [l’intérêt de Liverpool] is true. Sounds good, but would I play for Liverpool? Would I fit in there? » asks, rightly, El Hadji Malick Diouf, without trying to devalue himself, trying at most to be realistic. “ For me, it is essential that I do not stop. It’s difficult to leave the substitutes’ bench. I need to play. »
El Hadji Malick Diouf is attentive to everything that is said around him. And, he does not pretend to ignore his reality as a player very courted by big European teams. “ My departure time is approaching. I know. But, I don’t intend to do that. God will show me the way », indicates the one whose pillars of life are family, football and faith. “ I know that one day I will take a new step. That day is coming, but I have to be convinced that it comes at the perfect time so as not to slow down my development. »
“I have such a personal program that I want to be a complete footballer within two years”
-This clarification calls for another: “ I see what’s going on around me, but I’m not distracted by it at all. I focus on myself, on Slavia, I have no reason to rush. I told my uncle, my agent, the same thing. He knows everything. » His current challenge is to be even better than in the fall.
« Clearly. I just have to be equally passionate, honest and patient. Do everything fully and perfectly. I need experience to be able to play without fluctuations. During training and matches. I have such a personal program that I want to be a complete footballer within two years. But now it is essential for me to be as useful as possible to Slavia. »
According to the media, Slavia will not drop below twenty million euros (13 billion FCFA). Which makes the Senegalese, who plays the Europa League this evening against PAOK Salonika, the most expensive player in the Czech Republic’s elite championship.
