“This Spring there in back.” Lighting, that of Maurizio Sarri. It’s the winter of 2014: Empoli is absent Mirko Valdifiori and the current coach of Naples called, to replace it in training, the seventeen year old Assane Dioussé. It’s love at first sight, love at first sight. Dioussé will not return to training with his same age and will often go on the bench with the first team. Fails to debut in Serie A, but never mind: to Giampaolo just a couple of workouts to elect him to the designated heir midfielder who decided to follow his mentor Sarri in Campania. And to deploy holder, as well as debut against Chievo, also at La Scala of football at the San Siro against Milan. Dioussé does not affect: for 75 ‘, enchants. Precise passes, vertical solutions, physical and personality: the stigmata of the modern midfielder.

PROVINO – As Hysaj, even for Dioussé Empoli must thank the boy’s father: in both cases, the ‘ insistence of the parents was decisive. Assane, in fact, born in Senegal, reaches the father in Italy only in 2010, 13 years ago an audition with Carrara, then with Empoli, which confirms it. He shoots ahead: Juniors, Students, Spring, also playing two games at the weekend, because no coach wants to do it in less. Until tonight: second appearance as a starter in Serie A, La Scala of football. And the feeling that it is only the beginning of another great story.
shy – After the match against the Rossoneri, Dioussé seems almost amazed at all the attention, suddenly, they are reserved to him. “That role before the defense is too important – states with great humility -. I always try not to risk much, because if I lose the ball there is a mess …”. Then, however, the confession. “I tried to keep all the best midfielders and” steal “anything at all, but I like Thiago Motta.” It is very young, but already has clear ideas.
