Bani Yas striker, French of Malian origins Youssouf Niakaté, scored five goals out of 11 he scored in the five friendly matches that the “Sky Blues” played in the external camp in Serbia as part of preparations for the new football season that starts in two weeks. This is the second time that the player has shone in the external camp in the same way, as he had scored five goals out of 10 scored by the team in five friendlies in Hungary last year.
The player who won the star of the camp left his mark in four matches, starting with the “Sky Blues” winning 4-0 in the first friendly against the Serbian “FK Takovo”, as he scored a goal alongside Ahmed Shehadeh, Aboubakar Cisse and Mohammed Al-Menhali, while the team tied 0-0 in the second match.
Nyakati scored two goals in the third friendly, which Bani Yas won 4-0 against Serbian Jedinstov. The other two goals were scored by Argentine Juan Bauza and Senegalese Aboubakar Cisse. The player continued his brilliance and led the “Sky Blues” to a 1-1 draw in the fourth friendly against Cypriot Karmiotissa, scoring the only goal of the match. He also scored his team’s two goals in the fifth friendly against Serbian Partizan Belgrade, which ended with two goals to one.
Last season, Bani Yas management signed Nyakaté on a free transfer from Saudi Al-Ettifaq, hoping to solve the offensive sterility that has plagued the “Sky Blues” since the departure of Brazilian Joao Pedro. He scored nine goals in the ADNOC Professional League during the past season, which prompted Bani Yas management to renew his contract until the end of next season.
The team’s mission returned yesterday from Serbia, and the team is scheduled to resume its preparations at its home stadium, and will play a number of local friendly matches before launching its journey in the new season by meeting Dibba Al-Hisn on August 17, within the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Cup competition.
