We are accustomed to arise in the French league midfielders of African origin whose superior aerobic and anaerobic capacities enable them to become guarantors of the closing function of the midfield.
After a period of not too successful in Lyon, Alou Diarra gave their best on the banks of the Garonne, in a medium with which team has become French champion. The  gradual leakage of staff and players has been running with the potential of the club and the player starts a new season at Marseille, a team that always wants everything in France.

 
 
 
 
 
FEATURES OF HIS GAME


Her physical abilities are common in a player of his status and position: Strength, power, speed and above average strength.
His technical ability is not at the level of midfield players but has more sober enough to receive and drop without getting into the garden,  and resolving in cutting and shipping.
His greatest strength lies in the tactical. It has a mixture of discretion and experience that allows us to perform its mission still playing solo, and even central.
His psychological profile is that of an experienced player and solvent.

STATISTICAL NOTES: A pillar of security.



In a team of great joy tactics as was the Girondins de Laurent Blanc, racing will take Diarra, mostly alone, closing the work in midfield. The blue team's best years coincided also with the seasons in which Alou disputed almost every game.

In the table we can see that in those moments of engagement and the maximum liability Burdeaux became a tough team to beat despite the abundant flow offensive, sure enough on defense. The dark but clean work Diarra was not lost on French coach made him one of the first options to start replacing the legendary Makelele.
The team effort in a worthy Champions the following year it was felt in the domestic championship which explains in part the statistical decline. Of course, the involvement of the player, as reflected in their identical contribution to faults and cards remained relatively constant.
Last year, without the coach who had made this development and without the player who tipped the attack, the worse sports level, including the player, whose lower level of outages and significant increase in cards received from these indicate a certain about relinquishing his best. This is probably the ideal time to change.

In the second table is collected losses and the average goals conceded per game for the French teams qualified for Champions  (Olympique basic objective) in the years that Alou has been in Bordeaux. As we can see the collective achievements in defense of these clubs match the results achieved  in his best years.

FORECAST
 
Usually the court defensive players who have not experienced and been prone to injuries often retain their performance to new destinations. Just turned 30-Alou Diarra is perhaps the best age for a player of his profile, quite capable physically and with many years of tactical experience.
The question remains whether this slight decline last year is statistical influence of a collective impairment or evidence of a certain decadence.
