The PSG coach is full of praise for his right side. However, Achraf Hakimi is not expected to lift the African Ballon d'Or this year.
On December 16, the CAF Awards ceremony will take place in Marrakech, Morocco. It is on this occasion that the African Ballon d'Or will be awarded, an award for which ten players have been nominated. Among those, Achraf Hakimi, the right side defender of
Paris Saint-Germain.
Luis Enrique does not really know if the Moroccan international is one of the favorites to win this individual award. “To be able to say if he deserves the African Ballon d’Or, I would have to know the other players. If you say that he is the best right-back, I tell you that I have never met a better right-back than him, but I repeat that he has enormous room for improvement. assured the Spanish technician on Friday at a press conference.
African Ballon d'Or, Lookman big favorite
And the former La Roja coach continued about the former Inter Milan defender: “He still has a lot of potential. He discovers himself as a player and as a man. He is on this path. Despite his youth, he has a lot of experience, and he must be a reference on and off the field. For that, you don't just need words, but you have to demonstrate it through actions and it's in this aspect. I feel it better compared to last year.” Nigerian Ademola Lookman should win with a significant lead.
