About Yaya
Strong character and very serious on the field, he was a boy who was always funny and mocking, who made his friends a little afraid, even when he laughed at everything, at everyone, because he was already physically endowed with a certain strength, however thin and thin he was.
On the field he was already a sentinel who did not hesitate to come and help his defence. When the attack was in difficulty or procrastinating, he often took the game on his own, slalomed from his initial position to eliminate opponents and go score, while galvanizing the rest of the team.
Off the field, when his friends of his generation could no longer stand his mockery, it was not uncommon to find him among the youngest of generation 3 where he felt really well, laughing as if he was the same age as them…
He was a boy with two different personalities; funny and facetious off the pitch as the green rectangle transformed him into a serious and determined leader.
