My people, make una gather here, we get beta gist for sports today. Na about our own Yves Bissouma, the Tottenham star wey dey play captain for Mali national team. This guy don enter wahala again o! In recent times, e don dey face some serious issues wey dey affect him game time.

As e be, Bissouma miss Mali’s first match for AFCON 2025 against Zambia due to injury. But my guy dey show face for press conference wey dey happen before dem clash against Morocco. E no too clear if he go play, but the coach, Tom Saintfiet, sey dem go fit use am for match o. Na tough one wey dem go battle because Morocco na strong side. Coach talk am sey, “Yves fit dey bench, but no be sure thing.” Na just to manage expectation make we no dey too high.

Bissouma don turn small main star for team, even without sharp boots for field. E dey use him presence uplift the guys wey dey train with am. Before dis tournament, plenty people don dey talk sey him off-the-pitch wahala don affect him seriously. Di guy don catch yawa for inhaling nitrous oxide, wey dem sabi sey na ‘laughing gas’. Dis kain matter don spark plenty headlines wey dey put Tottenham for spotlight. Club don sey dem dey look into di matter as internal issue, but we all know sey dis na serious business wen we talk about image and discipline.

Di way e start di tournament, na so dem dey drag im name for show, plus im past injury wahala wey dey keep am on the sidelines. E no fit play UEFA Super Cup against PSG because dey dey complain sey e dey always late. Chai! Wetin dey happen? No be say dem wan make am start for the next match o, as he join the team na just to show him support. E even talk sey, “Wetin matter pass be sey Mali dey for the top. My own wahala na secondary.” Na true talk wey dey come from captain mouth, but him current form don dey raise eyebrow.

For the first match against Zambia, Mali and dem struggle for draw wey end 1-1. Dem no take chances, miss penalty, and even miss chances wey fit change di game completely. Bissouma dey watch from square, and him absence dey show say na him dey hold the team down with courage and leadership. Now as dem dey prepare to face Morocco today, e don need motivation to stand tall and show sey e be captain for real.

Dey say na who dey get strong hearts fit thrive for this kain competition, and Bissouma, wey sabi di tournament well, go need all di strength he go fit gather. Morocco no go easy, but if dem fit play di way dem fit, who knows, di captain fit define im legacy. As we dey look forward to di match, make we dey hope sey our man Bissouma go fit finally contribute some serious firepower, whether na from pitch or bench.
