In the green world, coaches' evaluations of their own players are often not very reliable. Even those famous marshals with a lot of wisdom will still make some confusing evaluations. For example, when Mourinho was in charge of the Chelsea whip, he gave the evaluation of "very close to Maradona" to his son Pedro; For example, Griezmann, in Simeone's mouth, became the best player in the world for a certain season; For example, Zidane once said that Asensio is the best left-footed player after Messi...
There are simply not too many similar examples, I believe that friends have long seen it. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a commercial touting model, even famous marshals are not exempt from vulgarity. However, not all unreliable reviews are touted patterns, and occasionally mixed with a few special evaluations that are obviously not touted but are equally weird. For example, the protagonist of this article, Sedou Keita, is obviously a fierce general on the green field, but he has become a little girl in the mouth of Gua Shuai:
Sedou Keita was born on 16 January 1980 in Bamako, the capital of Mali. Like Nabi Keita, Balder Keita, Kader Keita and other football Keita, Sedou Keita's surname is Keita. The reason for this phenomenon is mainly because there has been a Keita dynasty in African history, so the Keita clan is extremely prosperous, not only in football, but also in other fields.
Of course, when it comes to Keita in football, it's hard to ignore Sarif Keita, who is known as African Footballer of the Year, an African superstar who was prominent in the sixties. And Sareif Keita happens to be the uncle of the protagonist of this article, Sedou Keita. It was under the influence of Sarif Keita that Sedou Keita embarked on the road of football. As for the place where Seydou Keita's football dream began, it was the football youth academy named after Saif Keita.
Sedou Keita's already great football talent, coupled with his early formal training, would be odd if he couldn't stand out among his peers. As a professional midfielder, he can be called a model of all-round midfield, not only covering a large area on the defensive end, but also a good player on the offensive end, proficient in passing, possession, and long-range shooting.
The strong recommendation of his uncle Sarif Keita allowed Sedou Keita to enter the five major leagues as early as the age of 17 and became a member of the Marseille team. Unfortunately, Marseille is a veteran French club, and the competition in the team is extremely fierce, and it is too difficult for the fledgling Cedhu Keita to get ahead. Sedou Keita trained in the youth team of this team for 3 years before making the decision to change the goal, moving to Lorient (not Lyon), who was then in the Ligue 2 league.
In his first season with Lorient, 2000–01, Cédou Keita became an absolute workhorse of the team, helping his new club to be promoted. In the following 2001-02 season, Sedou Keita not only performed well in Ligue 1, but also helped Lorient, who was only an average player, win the French Cup.
At this time, Cedhu Keita is already a supernova in Ligue 1, and will naturally be invited by other clubs. In the summer of 2002, Lens, who was much stronger than Lorient overall, recruited Cedhu Keita and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.
The strong development of the Lens team has allowed Sedou Keita to make great progress. By the 2006-07 season, he had become a true Ligue 1 star. As evidence, when it came to selecting Ligue 1 Player of the Year, Sedou Keita received a large number of votes, second only to France international Maruda.
Even in the most conservative terms, at this time, Sedou Keita is at least a top five player in Ligue 1, and it is clear that other league clubs will extend olive branches to him. In the summer of 2007, Sedou Keita waved goodbye to Ligue 1 and entered La Liga, becoming a member of the Sevilla FC.
During his time at Sevilla, Sedou Keita not only proved his technical skills to adapt to La Liga, but also showed the world his horrific attendance. Throughout the 2007–08 season, Sedou Keita played 50 games for Sevilla on all fronts without showing any fatigue.
This kind of player with strong ability and high attendance will naturally get the attention of the giants. In the summer of 2008, Pep Guardiola's first summer in charge of Barca's first team, Sedou Keita landed at Camp Nou and became part of Barcelona.
Although Barca at this stage does not lack star players in midfield, Seydou Keita is still getting a lot of playing time and is definitely an important member of Barca. Under Pep Guardiola's leadership, Cedhu Keita doesn't know how many titles he has won, such as the European Champions Cup, La Liga title, Copa del Rey title, UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup and so on... Many of the top stars have failed to win titles in their careers, and Seydou Keita collected them shortly after arriving at Barca.
Guardiola's weight to Sedou Keita, that's beyond doubt. The Spanish coach once said that Seydou Keita and Mascherano are his little girls - in Catalonia, the word little girl also has the meaning of "caring person". In other words, Guardiola feels that Seydou Keita and Pony are quite intimate.
That's what it means. But the problem is that using the word little girl on a green general like Seydou Keita makes people feel a little... Awkward. Even Cedhu Keita, who is the person concerned, does not like this statement very much.
In the summer of 2012, Guardiola bid farewell to Camp Nou and Sedou Keita also left Barca. As for the reason for Sedou Keita's departure, it has little to do with Guardiola, mainly with money. Because at this time, Cedhu Keita has been working in Spain for 5 years. If he stays in Barça, he will not be able to continue to benefit from Spain's tax rate reduction for foreign talents. So Cedhu Keita asked Barca for a raise, but from Barca's standpoint, how could they give a 32-year-old veteran a raise?
Against this background, Seydou Keita left Barça for money, landed in the Chinese Super League, and became a member of Dalian Albin. Everyone understands that with the financial resources of the Chinese Super League club at the time, Cedu Keita's income in the Chinese Super League will obviously be higher than his annual salary during his time at Barca.
To be fair, Sedou Keita's performance in the Chinese Super League is indeed worthy of his high salary. As a professional midfielder, he soon became the core of Dalian's midfield, convincing his teammates. Compared with Ayrton and other Chinese Super League foreign aides, Cedhu Keita is definitely the conscience of the industry.
It's a pity that the good times did not last long, and after Varo joined Dalian Albin with an annual salary of 4 million euros, Sedou Keita's mentality exploded. On the one hand, Varro's income is much higher than that of Sethu Keita's younger brother Utaka, but Sethu Keita feels that Varro's skills may not be better than Utaka; On the other hand, although Varro's annual salary is not as good as that of Sedou Keita, their gap is only more than 1 million euros. In Sedou Keita's view, the gap between Varro and him is definitely not a gap of more than 1 million euros...
Sedou Keita, who was unhappy with the high salary of teammate Varro, had a rather unpleasant fight with Dalian Albin, and the two sides simply terminated their contract early, and Sedou Keita bid farewell to the Chinese Super League and returned to play in the European League.
First leave Barca for money, and then get a high salary from teammates in the Chinese Super League, Sedou Keita's operation, think about it is also drunk. In the days that followed, Sedou Keita left his mark in Valencia, Rome and El Jayish, Qatar, until 2017, when he announced his retirement.
