Football fans have seen a lot of good players from Africa. Every year, the line between such footballers and Europeans or Latin Americans is blurred. But some top footballers were true nuggets and showed themselves in all their glory before it became mainstream. When they took the field, bettors could make free football match predictions on the teams they were playing for. In this article, we will talk about such players.
George Weah
The history of this football player is incredible. He played in top teams (including the golden Milan squad), was at the origin of Manchester City as a top club, and even won the Ballon d’Or in 1995. He was also the champion of France (with PSG) and Italy (with Milan) and was the top scorer in the Champions League. The only thing he never managed was to reach the heights with the national team. He will forever be one of the best players who never made it to the World Cup.
Nevertheless, when George Weah took to the pitch fans knew there would be plenty of goals and could make football over 1.5 predictions and bet their money. But he was really surprised at the end of his career. The Liberian footballer was able to become:
- a volunteer;
- politician;
- President of Liberia (his term ended in 2024);
- the son of a famous footballer who plays for the US national team.
Such an unexpected turn of his activity shows that George Weah was not just a top footballer, but also a great family man and a patriot of his country.
N`Golo Kante
Malian footballer whose career is already slowly moving towards the end. However, in all his years of playing football N`Golo has shown himself to be a humble guy, when he went on the field, he changed beyond recognition. In the game, he was a pit bull, capable of breaking up any attack, and a footballer with 2 if not 3 hearts.
But the fans loved him for his humility and hard work. The player went through a lot in his life. He was not wanted in football academies because of his height. He started to play in the ninth division of France and was even embarrassed to celebrate goals somehow. But after achieving great results, becoming the champion of England with the incredible Leicester City, after playing 7 seasons in Chelsea he went to Saudi Arabia. But even after this championship he has not reduced his demands on himself and continues to be called up to the French national team, with whom he became World Champion in 2018.
In everyday life, he remained a modest guy who drives a Mini Cooper donated by one of the patrons (he didn’t change his first car even for sponsored BMWs). And with his modesty and sweet naivety he has enamored fans all over the World and surprised them more than once.
Sadio Mane
Many analysts including the xGscore.io platform consider this Senegalese footballer not only a great athlete but also a man with a capital letter. He has played most of his career at top clubs (Liverpool and Bayern Munich) and now plays in Saudi Arabia.
Sadio Mane has been nominated for the Ballon d’Or twice but has never won (4th and 2nd place). With the Senegalese national team, he won at CAN and was a participant in the Olympic Games and World Cup.
But the most surprising for fans were his charity projects. Sadio transformed his hometown Bambali beyond recognition. In particular, with his help, a school and a modern hospital were built. Mane himself always spoke with modesty about such actions, saying that he does not need dozens of cars and a bunch of expensive watches if his compatriots can not get a good education and medical care.
Such actions surprised football fans and many were genuinely upset when he was robbed twice.
Conclusion
Many African footballers deserve a place on such a list. But we have chosen three players who have shown themselves to be humble professionals. Each of them managed to surprise the whole world both on and off the football field and only from a positive side. Therefore, Weah, Mane, and Kante deserve their place in such a top.
