Ousmane Dabo
After his beginnings in Mayenne, with Stade Lavallois, Ousmane Dabo joined Stade Rennais aged 13. He made the training at the club's Academy, and his qualities soon brought him to knock at the door of the professional group. In 1995 he was only 18 when he is started in Division 1, breaking through the professional ranks. But, like the defender Mikaël Silvestre who progressed at the same time, Dabo remained under a probationary contract. When Stade Rennais proposed him a professional contract after three years, player and club failed to find a financial agreement, and threats from Rennes leaders eventually convinceD him to leave. Bypassing rules that forced them to become professional in their training club, Dabo and Silvestre leave to Italy and join to Inter Milan. Dabo begins a long italian career, it will take time for impose himself in the squad. He finally succeeds to this point in Bergamo, then in Lazio and wins briefly an international status in 2003.
