Issouf Aka

Towering over opponents, this Ivorian maestro combines elite close control and velvet touch with a gentle spirit that hides his fierce internal engine. Once told his childhood dream was impossible due to a debilitating fear of birds that kept him off open fields, he used those years in confinement to master his technical craft on a cramped patio. Now, his only flaw is a tendency to gas out before the final whistle, yet his humble genius orchestrates the pitch with unmatched elegance.
