Mohamed Lamine Sissoko (born 22 January 1985) is a former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder. Born in France, he represented France at youth international level before playing for the Mali national team.

Club career

=Auxerre=

Sissoko played as a second striker in the youth system of French club Auxerre.{{cite news|url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Primo_Piano/2009/02/13/sissoko.shtml|title=Sissoko: "Sono La Piovra"|trans-title=Sissoko: "I am The Octopus"|newspaper=La Gazzetta dello Sport|author1=Alberto Mauro|language=it|date=13 February 2009|access-date=23 November 2015}}

=Valencia=

In 2003, Sissoko left on a free transfer to Spanish club Valencia, managed by Rafael Benítez,{{cite news|url=http://jurisprudence.tas-cas.org/sites/CaseLaw/Shared%20Documents/530.pdf|title=CAS 2005/O/530|access-date=17 May 2012|publisher=Court of Arbitration for Sport|language=fr|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151123141417/http://jurisprudence.tas-cas.org/sites/CaseLaw/Shared%20Documents/530.pdf|archive-date=23 November 2015}} where he was deployed in midfield. Valencia won the 2003–04 La Liga title and in the same year became UEFA Cup champions, during which Sissoko played nine matches. The following year, Benítez left to manage Liverpool, and was replaced by Claudio Ranieri.

Sissoko moved from Valencia to Liverpool for £5.6 million in the summer of 2005.{{cite news|title=Sissoko completes Liverpool move|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/4668005.stm|work=BBC Sport|access-date=11 December 2014|date=13 July 2005}} His first appearance was against Kaunas on 26 July 2005 in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/4713781.stm|title= Kaunas 1-3 Liverpool|date=26 July 2005|work=BBC Sport|access-date=27 March 2013 }} In February 2006, he suffered serious eye injury after collision with Benfica's midfielder Beto.{{cite news|title=Specialist optimistic for Sissoko|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/4738220.stm|work=BBC Sport|date=23 February 2006}}

Sissoko was part of the FA Cup winning side in 2006 and played an integral role for the team. In the summer of 2007, Sissoko rejected offers from Barcelona, CSKA Moscow and Juventus to stay on Merseyside. His only goal for Liverpool came on 25 August 2007, a low shot from twenty yards out against Sunderland in a 2–0 away win.{{cite web|url=http://www.lfchistory.net/SeasonArchive/Game/5052|title= Sunderland 0 Liverpool 2|date=25 August 2007|work=LFC History|access-date=27 March 2013 }}

=Juventus=

In January 2008, Sissoko transferred to Italian club Juventus, where he would team up with former coach Claudio Ranieri, for a fee of €11 million. He made his first appearance for the club in February 2008, coming in as a 67th minute substitution for Tiago in a Serie A fixture versus Cagliari. Sissoko scored his first goal for Juventus on 2 March 2008, the equaliser against Fiorentina. During the first half of the 2008–09 season, he regularly featured in the starting line-up, forming a partnership with youngster Claudio Marchisio as the centre midfield pair in Claudio Ranieri's 4–4–2 formation. His season ended early after he broke his foot in March 2009, ruling him out for the rest of that season and into the start of the 2009–10 season.{{cite news| url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/africa/7931298.stm| title = Sissoko suffers injury setback| date = 8 March 2009| access-date = 12 September 2011| publisher = BBC}}

Sissoko's injury problems continued throughout the rest of the 2009–10 season and into 2010–11 season, as he suffered thigh strains, a leg strain, Achilles tendon inflammation, and finally season-ending knee surgery in March 2011.{{cite news| url = http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/888082/juventus-blow-as-mohamed-sissoko-out-for-season?cc=5739| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121102085449/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/888082/juventus-blow-as-mohamed-sissoko-out-for-season?cc=5739| url-status = dead| archive-date = 2 November 2012| title = Juve blow as Sissoko out for season| date = 2 March 2011| access-date = 12 September 2011| publisher = ESPN Soccernet}}

International career

Born in Mont-Saint-Aignan, France, Sissoko represented France at youth level. He was eligible to play for the France national team but opted to play international football for his ancestral country, Mali. He obtained his first international call-up to the Mali national team in 2004, and appeared for his country in almost all African Cup of Nations qualifiers and tournaments since then. He also featured in FIFA World Cup qualifiers for both 2006 and 2010. Sissoko made 34 official appearances for Mali, and scored 2 goals. With Mali, he finished fourth in the 2004 African Cup of Nations, and third in the 2013 African Cup of Nations.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/20910054|title=Nations Cup 2013: Sissoko wins recall to Mali squad|publisher=BBC|date=4 January 2013|access-date=23 November 2015}}

Style of play

A large, quick, combative, and physically strong defensive midfielder, Sissoko excels as a ball winner, a role which allows him to support his more offensive midfield teammates defensively by laying off the ball to them after winning back possession. Due to his tenacious tackling, stamina, work-rate, and tactical intelligence, he has been compared to former French midfielder Patrick Vieira,{{cite web|url=http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/2349807/sissoko-the-new-vieira|title=Sissoko the new Vieira|author1=Lewis Rutledge|work=Sky Sports |access-date=23 November 2015}}{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/2349286/Sissoko-makes-us-tick-says-Benitez.html|title=Sissoko makes us tick, says Benitez|newspaper=The Telegraph|author1=Tim Rich|date=31 October 2006|access-date=23 November 2015}} also earning the nickname "La Piovra" (the octopus) during his time with Juventus, due to his long limbs and energetic style of play. In addition to his ball-winning abilities, and his physical and athletic attributes, he is also known for his powerful striking ability from distance.{{cite web|url=http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/2684463/liverpool-beat-black-cats|title=Liverpool beat Black Cats|publisher=Sky Sports|author1=Amanda Cornforth|date=25 August 2007|access-date=23 November 2015}}

Personal life

Sissoko is the nephew of former African Footballer of the Year Salif Keïta,{{cite web| url = http://ciberche.net/noticias/index.php?news=6418| title = Sissoko: Quiero llegar a ser como Viera| access-date = 3 November 2007| publisher = Ciberche|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080121180431/http://ciberche.net/noticias/index.php?news=6418 |archive-date = 21 January 2008}} who, like Sissoko, played for Mali and Valencia. Salif Keita is also the uncle of former Barcelona midfielder Seydou Keita. Both Sissoko and Seydou Keita play similar roles as hard-tackling defensive midfielders. Sissoko is sometimes referred to as "the Black Ninja" for his tenacious tackling and work rate. He is the elder brother of Abdou Sissoko. He is the cousin of the footballer Oumar Sissoko.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ville-frejus.fr:443/actu/!/news/football-nat2-j9-letoile-annonce-la-signature-du-portier-international-malien-oumar-sissoko/|title=Football (Nat.2 - J9) - L'Étoile annonce la signature du portier international malien, Oumar Sissoko | Actualités|website=Site officiel de la ville de Fréjus}}
