"Amad Diallo thinks it feels "impossible" to be compared to "legends" like Didier Drogba and Yaya Toure as he remains determined to forge his own path for Ivory Coast. Manchester United attacker Amad has made just 15 appearances for Ivory Coast since his debut in March 2021, but, at 23 years old, is already seen as one of the leaders among the group. He has been directly involved in four goals (three goals, one assist) in his four matches at the Africa Cup of Nations"
""I'm in a good place physically and mentally. I try to give the maximum of myself on the pitch. I'm here to be one of the offensive leaders. Comparisons with legends like Didier Drogba or Yaya Toure are impossible. They wrote their own history. They are legends of African and European football. I try to follow my own path, stay humble, and help my country win a fourth star.""
Amad Diallo rejects comparisons to Ivory Coast greats Didier Drogba and Yaya Touré and intends to forge his own path while acting as an offensive leader. At 23, he has 15 caps since debuting in March 2021 and has directly contributed to four goals (three goals, one assist) in four AFCON matches, helping Ivory Coast reach the quarter-finals. He has produced 24 shot involvements (15 shots, nine chances created), with only Ademola Lookman ahead in goal involvements. Diallo missed Ivory Coast's triumph two years ago due to injury, is playing his first AFCON, and seeks to improve and support teammates.
