Profile: Nabil Taider
What is so special with Nabil who only scored 2 goals in 36 matches in 2004/5 while playing for Toulouse?
Or is it about his €1.6m pay in Toulouse? Skill/Talent? Hype? Nah! It’s his nationality — French and Tunisian.
Born on May 26, 1983 to Tunisian parents in Lavaur, France; he plays as a defensive midfielder and has both France and Tunisia as his national teams. He came out four times for the France Under-21 side; though he announced his intentions to play for Tunisia.
His intent to play for tunisia makes sense because of their conservative midfield style unlike France who boasts of Zidane. He would have a chance to grow his skills and might be given a break on a team like Tunisia.
Unfortunately, he’s desire for better exposure has been trumped. How he manages to steer his career from here onwards remains to be seen.
