The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 player is surprised by the amount of people heaping praise on the France international, following his return from the injury
The Arsenal midfielder has earned huge amount of praise in recent weeks after putting in some impressive showings for the Gunners in the Premier League this season.
However, former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Republic-of-Ireland-c2987 striker, Tony Cascarino does not share the same views as other.
The 50-year-old is of the view that Diaby is a decent player but he is not as good as people think he is. While talking to reporters, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 player added that it’s sad to see people talking about the 26-year-old, like he is some footballing genius.
Abou Diaby played brilliantly for Arsenal against Liverpool last week, and Cascarino thinks that the Frenchman would be like a new signing for his club.
“People love to be the first to announce there’s this new guy. I know he’s been there for a few years but he’s now like a new signing because he comes in and he played well against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809.”
Many people are comparing Diaby with former France international, Patrice Vieira. However, Cascarino feels that the midfielder is nowhere near that.
The former Nancy player, who spent most of his career in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899, added that the Gunners midfielder is a good player without any doubt, and his presence in the French squad would please Didier Deschamps. However, despite all his talents, he is
not on the same level with Patrice Vieira.
“Patrick Vieira? Miles away from that. He’s a player that certainly adds a lot of power to the midfield and drives forward. He’s decent on the ball,” the 50-year-old told reporters.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 man is no technical genius, but he keeps things simple and that’s his strength.
“I’ve seen him play in a lot of different positions. I think he’s not bad, he’s no technical genius, that’s without a doubt, but he’s not bad.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Finland-c2898 on Saturday, to show the world what he is capable of.
