« Frank is above all a good guy with a positive mindset, who lifts everyone up. He has a lot of character! He’s a winner, a competitor. He’s the kind of player you generally like to have on your team. “. In these words, Tom DucrocqTalk about Frank Magri, his former teammate at Bastia. A description that may well make the little world of football in Cameroon dream. The new discovery of the manager and selector of the Indomitable Lions Rigobert Song Bahanag, is not really known to Cameroonians. Already born in France and having played so far with the youth teams of his country of birth, Frank Magri is only well known to fans of the French professional championships. Although the Toulouse striker is only taking his first steps in Ligue 1.
If it is not a thunderbolt of war strictly speaking, it is certainly an element on which we will perhaps have to count on in the future. Already last season, Frank Magri found the path to the opposing goals 13 times and signed four assists for Bastia in Ligue 2. And this year, the man who joined Toulouse FC has already shaken the opposing nets twice in seven matches played. “ On the pitch, he gives 100%, he never gives up and is very perseverant. In U17, he already scored a lot of goals and you felt he mastered his position. He has all the qualities to be a 9. He is an attacker who has both feet, strong and comfortable with his back to goal. His first quality is his confidence. He is sure of himself and his qualities. A simple guy with a very good mindset », testifies Sabri Guendouzformer teammate of Frank Magri at the Angers training center.
The man is expected at the next gathering of the Indomitable Lions. The national team will face Senegal on October 12 at the Bollaert stadium in Lens, France, and Russia in Moscow on October 16. Rigobert Song Bahanag could give him a chance for his first steps with the colors of his country of origin.
At six feet tall, the 24-year-old (born September 4, 1999) has what it takes to succeed in an aging Indomitable Lions attack line. The three leaders of this compartment are Choupo-Moting, Ekambi store et Vincent Aboubakar, are all in their thirties. With Frank Magri, the transition is already being prepared.
