Can you tell us more about his style?
He is a brave guy that is very vocal on the pitch. He has fast legs and is rather pacey for a midfielder. His tackling ability is quality and his vision and passing are good. He has the ability to read a game, knows how to position himself well and I'd say overall he has great composure. Hard worker too. His biggest weakness compared to Busquets is his technical ability, but who can compare to Busi in that regard? It's not that he has two left legs. Some people call him Kante, who is his idol too, but if I had to make a comparison it'd be Claude Makele.
In early 2021 he was banned for 3 months due to doping. National team doctor of Mali made a mistake and gave him along others a medicine against altitude illness with a substance that's on the doping list of forbidden substances.
