“My grandfather looks younger.”  Photo 20-year-old football player shocked fans

Fans doubted the bright future of their beloved team.

The problem of determining the true age of African players has occupied the football community for many years. Regular fraud with passports has led to scandals more than once.

Another batch of indignation was caused by the transfer of the captain of the Cameroon under-23 team to a European club. Fans are simply shocked by the newcomer’s appearance!

“We see a very talented player”

The summer off-season is the time when clubs replenish their ranks with new players. The Austrian team “Altach” last season was on the verge of relegation from the local Bundesliga. Only a three-match unbeaten streak allowed the “black and white” to keep their place in the elite division.

This summer, the club’s management is very active in the transfer market. Altach has already announced the signing of contracts with five players. In a modest team, they consider the transfer of the captain of the Cameroon U23 national team, Javal Kaiba, to be a great success. The management believes in the 20-year-old African defensive midfielder: it was not without reason that he was offered a contract for three years at once.

“In Kaiba, we see a very talented player and hope for the future. At the same time, it is important for young players coming to Europe from another continent to give time for acclimatization. We will support Dzhaval in all aspects to help him fully develop, ”Altakh’s official website quotes sports director Roland Kirchler as saying.

“It’s a 50-year-old man!”

On paper, the transfer looks very promising. The youth player of the leading African team, and also the captain … However, the photo of the football player in the club’s social networks caused a real shock to many fans.

The thing is that Javaval, even with all the desire, cannot be given 20 years. Like many Africans, the football player looks much older than the stated age. Fans immediately ran into the social networks of Altakh, who began to compete in the causticity of comments.

“He was 20 years old when I received my matriculation certificate with him in 2010,” wrote tom_22303.

My grandfather used to praise him when he was young. He said that Kaiba and Pele in midfield were a dangerous duo. A strong transfer, I hope the player will be able to prove himself,” the fan with the nickname m_oezkan joked.

“Pinocchio is his manager,” the player’s agent, pinnarafael, suspected of dishonesty.

“Damn it, it’s a 50-year-old man!” – diyr_acar707 was indignant.

“My grandfather looks younger than this player,” said rafaelalucassilvino.

“Calm down, his birthday is just in a leap year,” hannes_wttk_05 joked.

Modern technologies make it possible to determine the age of a football player with a high degree of probability. The club, of course, did not specify whether any procedures were carried out in this regard. In the end, the main thing is that the player was good.

Secrets of the Real Madrid dressing room: Kroos told how he got along with Vinicius

Former Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos He talked about his interaction with Brazilian striker Vinicius Junior and other representatives of Brazil within the scope of the “royal club”.

“The Brazilians aroused my sympathy even as a child. While playing for Real Madrid, I developed excellent relationships with Vinicius, Casemiro and Militao.

It is very easy to find a common language with these guys: they know how to enjoy life, and their mentality is significantly different from that of the Germans.

Casemiro and Vinicius and I understood each other perfectly on the field and developed a unique football bond with Vini.

We communicated warmly in daily life. I believe that if there is no contact between players off the field, it is extremely difficult to achieve harmony in the game.

I used Vini’s high-speed bursts effectively and he masterfully directed my passes,” AS Kroos reports.

Let’s remember that Kroos defended the jersey of Real Madrid from 2014 to 2024. During this decade the German midfielder won the Champions League five times.
