There were plenty of Liverpool fans who were delighted to see Ibou Konate start France in the World Cup semi-final and it’s clear he impressed many onlookers, none other than Jamie Carragher.
On his Twitter account, the 44-year-old wrote: “The French mum was @IbrahimaKonate_ I don’t see how she can be left out of the starting XI in the final!”
The former defender was not only impressed with the Frenchman, but also believed he should be the man of the match for the game, showing that he thought he was head and shoulders above the rest.

The 23-year-old had the chance to make his third tournament appearance due to Dayot Upamecano’s illness and it’s going to be a big decision for Didier Deschamps not to play him against Argentina.
Our supporters didn’t need an impressive campaign in Qatar to show us how good our number 5 is, but let’s hope this shows everyone that, not only do we have one of the best centre-backs in world football now, but a player who will continue to dominate the position for years to come. many years.
Let’s cross our fingers that the words of the Bootle-born pundit ring true and that we see our man become the third Liverpool player to be on the pitch as his nation win the World Cup.
