Emmanuel Adebayor has experienced a resurgence in form since the arrival of Tim Sherwood at Tottenham Hotspur in mid-December. Despite being initially sidelined by André Villas Boas at the start of the season and coping with the tragic death of his brother in June, Adebayor has bounced back impressively. He has scored 8 goals in 11 games this season, showcasing his mental strength and competitive spirit.
Gérard Liassidji, a young Togolese player at Trélissacfoot, a CFA club in France, admires Adebayor’s resilience and determination. He believes that Adebayor’s loyalty to Tottenham and belief in his abilities have contributed to his success. Liassidji also credits Tim Sherwood for recognizing Adebayor’s potential and helping him regain his form.
Trained at Académie Planète Foot and later playing for AS Sonabel in Burkina Faso before moving to France, Liassidji has established himself as a key player at Trélissacfoot. Although he missed out on a call-up to the Togolese junior national team in 2006 due to scheduling conflicts, Liassidji remains focused on his career and continues to make significant contributions to his club.
