Diatta - uncompromising defender. (Allsport)
LAMINE DIATTA
Position: Defender
Born: 02.07.75
Club: Rennes Lamine Diatta is one half of the dominant defence on which Senegal built their World Cup qualifying campaign.
Alongside Aliou Cisse, Diatta provides a powerful blockade in front of keeper Tony Sylva.
An uncompromising defender, Diatta is also difficult to deal with in the opposition penalty area.
His goal against Egypt in the African Nations Cup proved that and, although a rare occurrence, it is a part of his game that Senegal's opponents should be aware of.
