SEP 23, 2017 LISTEN

A Thomas Partey (Ghana, 24 years) who have seen him play since childhood compare him with compatriot Michael Essien , arguably the most prominent midfielder that has given Africa in the last two decades.

His physical strength, especially developed in a remarkably muscled lower train, resembles that of the now Indonesian Persib Bandung player.

However, between Odumase Krobo, the small town in the south of the country where he and his seven younger siblings were born, and Acra, the capital of the former Olympique Lyon, Chelsea and Real Madrid, there are so many differences as in the short shot of a player who has become crucial to Simeone at the start of the season.

This Saturday against Sevilla (13.00, beIN LaLiga) could complete his fifth consecutive game as a starter, a sequence that since joining the first Atletico squad by 2015 had never occurred.
