00:00The person who is the biggest and most applauded person in this African family of football players,

00:06Hakimi, has taken the African Player of the Year.

00:09Deserved thoughts? Do you think, I mean, in comparison to previous years,

00:13how do you guys feel about Hakimi winning it over Ossiman, winning it over Salah?

00:18I will say, Hakimi, any team he's played on, he's improved greatly,

00:23because that's probably one of, if not the best two-way player we have in the game.

00:27A wingback that can score goals, dribble past somebody,

00:30and someone that will also keep up with your best offender.

00:33Yeah, I mean, he won the treble. He won PSG's first UCL.

00:38He not only was good on the wing, but he would actually come centrally a lot for PSG

00:43and control the midfield, which is an underrated talent for him,

00:46and shout out Coach Luis Enrique seeing that ability.

00:48He was scoring clutch goals from the top of the box.

00:50I believe he scored in the UCL final as well.

00:52He deserved it. He won everything.

00:53What more can you do than win everything and be arguably the best player on your team?

00:57Yeah, Mike, most decorated player right now, has the support of really, like, everybody.

01:03Like, he's really, like, one of the people's favorites.

01:05Like, he's not the type of player that seems like he's, like, egging on players

01:09or being, like, adversarial.

01:11Like, he literally just plays the game, plays it well, and gets things done.

01:14And so, like, everybody likes him.

01:16To bring that up, too, I think it's very heartwarming to see how a lot of attackers

01:20that play on his side end up having a bromance with him.

01:24You see Mbappé, you see Sancho.

01:27Those are key players that, you know, obviously operate on the same wing.

01:30And then his composure for Morocco in the World Cup and the penalties.

01:33Yeah, facts.

01:33It's a leader final.

01:35He's a leader.

01:35He knows how to have fun, but he also knows how to get it done.

01:37He knows how to have fun, but he knows how to have fun, but he knows how to get it done.
