CAF seems more focused on keeping everyone happy than on rewarding players based on merit. Instead of consistently choosing the best, they think, “We picked Salah last year, so let’s choose someone else this time.” For example, despite El Kaabi’s outstanding season, they may overlook him, feeling three Moroccan players would be excessive.
Nice analysis but feel Ademola deserves more points in the AFCON rating… Mbemba who didn’t make the AFCON team of the tournament had 4.5 points in your AFCON rating whereas Lookman made the team of the tournament and you rated him 4.0 points. The difference is crystal clear for Ademola Lookman all round.
Ademola lookman,deserved to win the afco footballer of the year...its the only africa nominated in ballot d Or..2024,finally in afco, with three goals ,Atalanta fc footballer of the year and he scored hittrack in Europa league final to win the trophy. He is the winner of the year ,African footballer of year...that is my contribution
Thank you very much in deed for your Evidence based and unbiased Analysis. 🎉Congratulations. Ademola is obviously the right and most qualified person to win the award.
Bro you did justice to your analysis!! I just subscribed to your channel . Good luck to that chap Ademola Lookman. Look at the 2 goals and 2 assists against Verona!! The guy is good. I hope Arsenal get him next season.
Balon d’or nominee Ademola Lookman will win it. the ONLY African nominated for balon d’or in 2024 not win the African best Player of the year in the same year 2024. No player deserves it more than Ademola Lookman. Single handedly Ending Bayer leverkusens 50+ games unbeaten run with a hattrick, the ONLY African player to have EVER scored a hattrick in a UEFA cup final and one of only 2 players to have done so. In the AFCON Ademola Lookman took Nigeria to the finals of the AFCON. Ademola Lookman will win it. Simple. End of story.
Great analysis by you, bro. My question is that do you think that a player doing very well in a UAE club should be rated on the same scale with a player playing well in a bigger and tougher league like serie A, EPL, la liga? What is your opinion on this?
This is a very good question. I think success in the bigger European league should be weighted higher, but still Rahimi's success even if it's "just" the European league was unparalleled.
You were very objective in your analysis. Funny some people still disagree because your objective analysis didn't end up awarding their man the award🤭🤭🤭
Great video and coverage sir. But I don’t think 1.5 out of 5 points is proper for Ademola Lookman for his international career contributions this year. For the records, he’s played all of Nigeria’s qualifying matches for both AFCON AND FIFA WORLD CUP MATCHES. And also has a few goal contributions particularly against Benin 🇧🇯
Good and fair analysis but I think William Trost Ekong shld have gotten a 5/5 in Afcon… based on the fact that you are big on afcon performance… i present to you the man of the tournament Ekong
Good analytical process but I can't say well research, because for Ademola Lookman you not sure of his performance after AFCON and giving him 1.5, don't cut it. But I like the analytical process well done
Rahimi that plays in UAE on CAF shortlist but boniface and tella that won bundasliga,a German league are not!😅Ademola lookman should win it this year for sure.
I have lost faith in the awards CAF included a long time ago. I do watch the ceremony tho as there's nothing like it. I appreciate this video. However, like I pointed out like last year, when Osimhen was given over those who went to the world cup that such standards would not be applied to another candidate, and here we are. Deduct Guirrassy goals from VFB Stuttgart season, do they finish 2nd? Only Harry Kane had a better scoring record than Guirassy, and he beat the Guinean by a few goals. So, if he wasn't injured for a while, he would have most likely beaten Harry Kane. If he was a Nigerian or Ghanaian, wouldn't he be in front of the line just for club performance alone? It's weird to rate the Olympics low, but once again, if it had been Argentina with Lionel Messi playing there, would the Balon D'Or not be going to him again? I wasn't expecting Ronwen to get love. He plays in the continent, and I have seen enough online comments so ... There is zero justification for Mohammed Salah to not make the list. What's the point of EPL obsession by Africans? The most consistent star in the EPL frozen out of Balon D'Or I get, but CAF C'mon! Rahimi is my man if it were up to me, as we are allergic to awarding defenders and goalkeepers. But I know that social media has crowned Lookman, so I won't hold my breath.
Thank God its not up to you or the CAF awards would be an absolute joke. Where was Rahimi during the AFCON??/ Also the guy won the Asian CL. I with my beer gut can win the Asian CL lol
@jonjones3841 you must have skipped the part of the video where Maher clearly points out that Rahimi wasn't invited to AFCON and since your beer gut is that great. Maybe you should lead a team that has never won Asian CL to win it and score 13 goals, too. Instead of being a keyboard warrior smh. If you knew African football instead of your beer gut only, you would know that in 1996, someone who was not at AFCON won for his performances at the Olympics. Rahimi did far better, but is it belly gut or xenophobia? 🤔 Enjoy your day!
@@raphcannon Why wasnt a 28 year old Rahimi called up to the AFCON for Morocco?? If he was that good Morocco would have called him up. Fact is he isnt that good. Rahimi did far better than Kanu??? 1st of all Kanu won the olympic gold beating Brazil and Argentina that had close to their full squad at the that Olympics. 2nd, Who did Moroco beat at the last olympics?? A weak Argentina, USA, Egypt, Iraq lmao. Also Kanu didnt play at the 1996 AFCON because of diplomatic tensions then between South Africa and Nigeria. Had he played, Nigeria would have won that AFCON. 3rd Morocco OTOH didnt win the 2024 afcon and the 2024 Olympic gold so your point is moot. 4th If Rahimi is that good then let him play in Europe with the big boys and win trophies like Lookman did last season instead of playing football in the Arabian desert. 5th Kanu won that Olympic gold as a 20-year-old while Rahimi won bronze as an old man playing against Kids. Big difference.
What a great topic 👍and on spot analysis. However, what breaks my heart 💔is that why do we have only 1 player playing in the Continent(Africa) as a nominee
Victor Boniface bundesliga title winner and top goal scorer for the german champions Leverkeusen. 22 goals 12 assists and Dfb pokal champs.Presently 8 goals in 11 games for leverkeusen this season.He should have being in CAF top 10 conversation.

Agree
I think ademola lookman deserve the win
Respect to this man for his honest/unbiased analysis.... Just subscribed.
Appreciate you!
Thanks for the analysis
You put a lot of great work and research into this I just subscribed
Fantastic analysis
Great coverage as always 👊🏿
Personally i feel Ademola deserve to win the African player of the year
This is great. Do a young player award analysis as well.
Will do this in December before the CAF Awards are held
Hakimi has a big chance to win it as well , but it’s looking like Lookman tbf
Lookman or nothing else!

Rownen Williams best goal keeper in Africa 👆🇧🇷

3/5 for Williams, you're tripping a bit. He was goalkeeper of the season in the league. Then he was 2nd player of the tournament in the AFL
Fair counter points
Rahimi that plays in UAE on CAF shortlist but boniface and tella that won bundasliga,a German league are not!😅Ademola lookman should win it this year for sure.
Boniface definitely deserves a place on this list alongside Salah as well
ADEMOLA LOOKMAN
Wish county call. Sad Africa
Ademola Lookman its not even close. Also it should be from August 2023 till may of 2024 FIFA year.
But you owe us a full episode about Ronwen Williams, its even shocking that you have not said anything thus far.... But anyway
They are like that, leeches from the North......
Boniface didn’t make the list 😅.
Shame

Agree completely
We all know that Ronwen must win this award
You wish!
SADAFRICA ALWAYS MAKING THEMSELVES FALSE HOPE OF WHAT THEY WON'T BECOME 🤣🤣🤣
@@IsaiahOyarese-xd4li fix your league and then we can talk
Always making jokes sad Africans 😂😂😂😂🇳🇬🇳🇬
The only reason ronwen is there because of the caf president
Ronwen Williams deserves it the most
You haven't watched enough of Williams, but since you are from the north you would be biased 😢
Williams my foot
