Moroccan Defender Abdelhamid Dazzles with Maradona-like Skill in Reims’ 3-0 Victory

Abdelhamid Maradona, Abdelhamid Ronaldhino! After Reims’ big win over Nantes on Sunday, football lovers can’t help but compare Yunis Abdelhamid to Argentine legend Maradona or Brazilian star Ronaldhino. "I didn’t know Abdelhamid Maradona," tweets one Internet user. "Yunis Abdelhamid who turns into Ronaldhino during Ramadan against Antoine Kombouare’s FC Nantes. Personally, I’m enjoying it," writes another.

These comments were made after the Moroccan defender of Reims marked the spirits during the match, "with a quite crazy technical festival on the left side where he played an unusual but also decisive role of winger," reports L’Équipe. After a heel-tap in a small bridge, Abdelhamid unleashed a cross "which, after a billiard shot, allowed Flips" to open the scoring.
