The young footballer, who plays for Istanbulspor, one of the Ligue 1 teams, surprised football fans with his life story. Here are the details…
Istanbulspor hosted Gençlerbirliği in the 30th week of Trendyol 1st League. While the Istanbul team won the match with a score of 5-0, the young footballer, who scored three goals in the match, surprised with his life story.
He is living the fairy tale
Gaoussou Diarra, who played a big role in the win against Gençlerbirliği with goals on 27, 57 and 77, has been in a fairy tale with his successful performance this season.
First step Tuzlaspor
A university student in Istanbul, the 22-year-old Malian winger made his football debut for Tuzlaspor in the 2023-24 season.
He turned into a star at Istanbulspor
Diarra, who transferred to Istanbulspor before this season, became the locomotive of the yellow-black team, while signing one of the most special performances of the league.
Appearing in 29 matches, the Malian found the net 12 times, while he also managed to pass the ball twice.
Diarra, who has 11 goals in the league, also ranks 5th in the top scorer list.
“Diarra does not have a professional match. He was a university student here”
Making statements after the match, Istanbulspor Technical Director Osman Zeki Korkmaz said, “Diarra doesn’t have a professional match. He was a university student here. He only has a football academy background. He is training with us. Already in the third training session, we immediately said to the president ‘let’s sign him.’ We produce games, we produce players and we win matches while doing this. The pleasure of this cannot be exchanged for anything.”
