Serey Die – Defensive Midfielder – Basel

Fresh off of an Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) victory with Cote D’Ivoire, a highly motivated Serey Die will look to continue progressing with Basel. The Swiss side were not expected to advance from Group B which European giants Real Madrid and Liverpool also contested. The Swiss champions now face Porto who have, in their ranks, a vast array of attacking arsenal. Die will be assigned the worrisome task of keeping Yacine Brahimi, Oliver Torres, and Ricardo Quaresma in check. His contribution will be key to overcoming this new challenge and progressing to the quarter-finals.
