African Champions League: Born a Star…Darragi!

Darragi is the best player from african continent African Champions League is the most important football tournament in that continent. The current edition is on the semifinals stage this weekend with Esperance (Tunisia) versus Al-Ahly (Egypt) and TP Mazembe (Congo Republic) versus JS Kabylie (Algeria).
Despite the big matches, one player has been fantastic from the beginning: Oussama Darragi, a jewel from maghrebian region – Nasri, Benzema, Chamakh and Zidane has ancestors from that region. He is the Tunisian player of the moment. At 23 years old, Darragi resurrects the classic old jersey 10 style that bursts with the ball toward the opponent goal combining enforcement and intelligence scoring record.
The Esperance midfielder is the key man to take the club from Tunis to the title of African Champions League 2010, a trophy that the club yellow-red have not won since 1994.
Dubbed by the press and fans as ‘Picasso’ and ‘Darraginho’, he forms a formidable offensive duo with speedy nigerian forward Michael Eneramo – topscorer of almost everything that cause panic in the opposition teams.
Very well prepared technically and powerful (1.90 height, 77kg), Darragi is an element capable to create the link mid-attack and score many goals yet. Undaunted, jis leadership is already being noted to wear the captaincy of the team.
In just three seasons as a professional player, the star of ‘African Barcelona’ – as the team is called in the region – already has five titles, missing only the achievement of African Champions League to complete his collection of titles in the continent.
The name of Darragi is going to the ears of executives and agents in Europe. If the Esperance will get to beat the powerful Al-Ahly, from Egypt, in the semi-finals of the african Champions League, the deal can be closed even faster.
The player is already constant figure playing for Tunisia national team and only one serious injury or serious discipline problems can do so stop being a protagonist by the Eagles of Carthage in the coming years.
