My Take
Daniel Cousin's career map is what I love about football. A Libreville-born Gabonese striker who bounced from Martigues and Lens to Rangers in Scotland and Hull City in England, he embodies the journeyman's grit, betting everything on his body across borders and leagues. There's real courage in leaving a small West African nation to compete in Europe's toughest divisions. Strikers carry a uniquely solitary burden, and the fact that he later moved into coaching tells me the game runs in his blood. I quietly applaud men who chase goals this far from home.
