Story of an Italian talent who traveled a lot before finding a place in our football. Senegal wanted him, but he is always waiting for a call from Gattuso
With Cher Ndour there is no need to even regret the good times when football was played at the oratory: he came up just like that, on the pitch outside his house. The boys on the wall, the deflated bikes, the ball against the wall. And friends, of course. All older than him. “At five years old they let me play with them because I was strong, and I spent my days there.” He’s the child prodigy next door: that’s what they even called him. Ugh, the usual good guy. But that was yesterday. Today Cher, a name that is bijoux, is more ferocious than a gringo. Do you want proof? You will find some of them in Fiorentina-Inter, the latest discovery of this modern midfielder, capable of strength, determination, energy, goals. And a dream: “Playing the 2026 World Cup with Italy”. He said it three years ago, he was still a work in progress chick, but he was already looking ahead. “I will be 22 years old, I will be more mature, I still have a lot to grow: in these two seasons in Portugal, however, I have improved, being able to play both with the greats in Serie B and with my peers in Europe, as will happen today.” Coach Gattuso take note. Maybe after the playoffs against Northern Ireland. Meanwhile Ndour is like the drop that digs the rock: inexorable. He is taking Serie A, but his path is much bigger.
