A player from the Algerian national team is sparking admiration and emulation from Mathis Saka, a star player for Toulouse.
With his versatility and exceptional gameplay, the Fennec inspires Saka to follow in his footsteps on the field, creating a virtual mentorship relationship between the two rising football talents.
Fares Chaibi, a star of the Algerian national team and a professional player at Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany, is highly respected at his former club, Toulouse, for his exceptional talent showcased during his time in France, earning praise from youngsters like Mathis Saka.
Saka, aged 17 and newly signed as a professional with Toulouse, sees Chaibi as a role model in the football world. Saka particularly admires Chaibi’s playing style and versatility, stating, “Fares Chaibi and I get along very well. I love his game and his ability to play multiple positions. I find many similarities between us.”
Saka has closely followed Chaibi’s career since his beginnings at Toulouse, and even now with his current team in Frankfurt, he continues to watch his matches, aiming to emulate his path. Like Chaibi, he sees himself as a versatile player capable of playing both in midfield and on the wings, determined to earn a starting position.
Saka’s praise for Chaibi comes at a time when the Algerian national team coach, Vladimir Petkovic, sparked controversy among fans by not selecting Chaibi for the recent June matches, which were African World Cup qualifiers against Guinea and Uganda.
