Former Players: A difficult premiere for Ismaël Bangoura

Transferred to Al Nasr (United Arab Emirates) this Thursday, Ismaël Bangoura played his first match with his new teams the next day! Playing against League leader Al Ain, the former Rennes striker was indeed included in the starting line-up.

Physically weary, the Guinea international showed rather clumsy on front of the Arabic forward line. Launched several time, Bangoura wasn’t able to convert any of his goal chances. Replaced just after the break, he received an ovation from his new club’s spectators however.

The website guinéefoot.info wasn’t too kind with their fellow countryman when describing his beginnings with Al Nasr: "Bangoura was a burden for the al-Nasrawi attack, despite his teammates’ insistence to try and feed him the ballat every opportunity”.
