Since last summer, Moussa Djenepo has been playing in Iran. With a little perspective on his career, here he is releasing a documentary on his journey since he was little.
Moussa Djenepo was not yet 20 when Olivier Renard snapped him up in Mali for 50,000 euros. The little left winger brought in big money for Rouches but was no longer quite the same player since his return to the banks of the Meuse.
Last summer, he was on a siding and therefore left the club for good. Responding to the call of Ricardo Sa Pinto, he joined the Iranian championship. But he hardly plays at Esteghlal (only one start since his arrival).
Eager to share what is on his heart, Moussa Djenepo decided to release a documentary about his journey. “Number 12 of Destiny” is very broad, from his childhood in Bamako to his last difficult moments, including his first steps on the old continent and his transfer to Southampton for 15 million.
Of pride and fragilities
The unveiled teaser shows quite a few memories of Standard, where he undoubtedly lived the best years of his career. Because before his second spell filled with doubts, Djenepo was this twirling winger, capable of making the difference on his left flank.
The celebrations of the victory in the Belgian Cup (the only trophy of his career so far) are featured prominently in the documentary, previewed in a cinema in Bamako.
