For this AFCON semi-final match wey go happen as Nigeria and Morocco dey clash, all eyes go dey on Brahim. Coach Walid Regragui don talk say this guy fit be the best player for the world. Na bold statement o, but with how Diaz dey on fire now, e no dey far from the truth.
The way wey e dey play, e no just dey score goals. E dey hold the ball, drag the team when dem dey feel the pressure. Na him don settle the nerves from the first match against Comoros to the quarter-final against Cameroon, e just dey calm the team like say na im be the captain.

If he fit manage to score just one more for AFCON, e go match Ahmed Faras record as the all-time top scorer for the tournament. You fit feel the pressure? Na roast plantain and suya dey wait for am if e succeed.
As Morocco dey host this AFCON, dem get every reason to want carry the trophy. A win go be big deal for dem, and Brahim dey inside this whole story.
