The New Ronaldinho?


Ibrahim Yattara (born 3 June 1980) is a Guinean footballer playing for Turkish team Trabzonspor. Ibrahim Yattara began his career in Guinea with the team San Garedi. He moved on to Atletico Coleah, another Guinean club before embarking on his career in Europe. He joined Antwerp FC in Belgium in 2001 and was used primarily on the right side of midfield. He failed to make much of a mark in the team, but his talent was spotted by a scout from the Turkish side Trabzonspor.
Yattara joined the team from Trabzon in 2003. He immediately excited the fans with his talent and creativity on the right wing. However, he has proved to be equally infuriating for some of the Trabzonspor coaches with his inconsistency and sometimes lazy attitude. His talent is without question, on his night he is one of the best players in Turkey. On some nights, he is barely noticeable.
Despite the dark side to his game, he is immensely popular with the Trabzonspor fans. He is also regarded as one of the best foreign players in Turkey. His close ball control and pinpoint crosses make him a threat to opposition defenders, as well as his ability to score goals. In his first season at the club Yattara ended up as with the most assists in the Turkish league, despite being on the bench for a large number of games. He has continued to improve his game but remains somewhat of an enigma. Many people believe that he has the capability to become one of the best players in Europe.
