19-Year-Old Yan Diomande Shines in Debut World Cup Appearance
Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande put on a masterful performance against Ecuador in his World Cup Debut, with his manager Emerse Faé commenting on his performance.
“What can I say? I can’t put it into words. He’s a kid who works hard, has a real team spirit, laughs with everyone and he listens. He listens to the coaching staff whenever we give advice and he tries to do his best, as he’s told. It’s easy to work with someone like Yan.”
ESPN’s Gabriele Marcotti provided more context surrounding Diomande.
“Diomande’s decision-making against Ecuador went far beyond his teenage years. Far from being a one-trick, one-on-one merchant — though there was plenty of that, as demonstrated by his four successful dribbles past Hincapié — there’s an unselfishness and a team ethos to his movements and the choices he makes. Athleticism, raw speed and tricky feet might have put him on the map, but his vision and composure are keeping him there.”
He could be the team’s X-factor once again when they face Germany in the next match.
