Welcome to Afrique Sports for the MORNING of WEDNESDAY 09 JUNE 2021. We are starting in Ghana. It was Black Stars coach Charles Akonnor who decided to fire the Arsenal midfielder. This, because of his delay. Indeed, the former Atlético de Madrid player chose to join the Ghanaian selection on Sunday, while the gathering of the Black Stars began several days ago.

Reason enough to expel him before the match against the Atlas Lions in Rabat. As what, Akonnor is not kidding when it comes to discipline, regardless of the status of the player. Note that this meeting is part of the preparations for the two teams for the qualifiers of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Senegal: Sadio Mané enters a little more in history
-Let’s go to Senegal. The Senegalese national football team beat (2-0) that of Cape Verde, in an international friendly match played on Tuesday at the Lat Dior stadium in Thiès. The Senegalese goals were scored in the second half by Idrissa Gana Guèye, with a nice free kick in the opposing skylight, and Sadio Mané, on a penalty.
Senegal had already beaten (3-1) Zambia on Saturday as part of their preparation for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Initially scheduled for June, these qualifications were finally postponed to next September. In this match, it should therefore be noted that Sadio Mané catches up with Mamadou Niang with his 23rd goal in the national team. In his sights, Henry Camara. Which is at 29 goals.
Official: Vincent Aboubakar signs in Saudi Arabia
-A jump to Vincent Aboubakar. In economic disagreement with Besiktas, Cameroonian striker Vincent Aboubakar has listened to several offers in recent days from Turkey.
While Fenerbache offered him 3.2 million variable euros included in order to compete with the Besiktas offer, Aboubakar had a better offer in Asia. Indeed, the Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr offered big and the attacker of the Indomitable Lions could not resist the contract with a salary of 6 Million euros bonus included.

Copa America: The Supreme Court of Brazil will rule urgently
-A jump to South America. The Supreme Court of Brazil will judge Thursday urgent appeals demanding the suspension of the organization of the Copa America in this country hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, we learned Tuesday from a judicial source.
The President of the Supreme Court, Luiz Fux, has ruled that the 11 judges should rule urgently due to the “exceptional” nature of the appeal, the kickoff of this highly controversial tournament being scheduled for Sunday. This judgment will take place “virtually”, without debate between the magistrates, who will send their written votes in turn on Thursday.
EDF: Giroud gets closer to Thierry Henry
-Let’s talk about the Blues. Enduring Olivier Giroud (35 years old, 108 caps and 46 goals)! Thanks to his double scored against Bulgaria (3-0) this Tuesday in a friendly, the center forward of the France team continues to get closer to Thierry Henry (51 goals in 123 selections), at the top of the ranking of the best scorers in the history of the Blues.
Indeed, the native of Chambéry has only five achievements less than the 1998 world champion. On an excellent momentum, the recent winner of the Champions League with Chelsea will do everything to beat this record!
Juventus: Cristiano Ronaldo made a shocking decision
-Let’s finish with Cristiano Ronaldo. According to Don Balon, the former Manchester United center-forward has already planned everything when it comes to his next destination. The Spanish media explains that Adrien Rabiot’s teammate is already refusing to go to an exotic destination.
Thus, if neither Paris Saint-Germain nor Manchester United come to seek him in Serie A, he will go through with his commitment with the Italian football club. While several MLS clubs would like to lure her to the United States, the star believes she still has some great matches to play at the top of European football. To be continued
