Mamadou Sakho (born 13 February 1990) is a French international footballer who currently plays for French club Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1. He primarily plays as a centre back for his club, but can also deputized as a left back if necessary. Sakho is known for his leadership credentials, his tireless engine, hard-working attitude, and his tackling ability. He has also been praised for his "physical and tactical qualities". Sakho is also known for his eccentric hairstyles he often displays while playing and has earned the nickname Kirikou by club supporters as a result.
Of Senegalese descent, Sakho started his career at Paris FC in 1996 before moving to professional club Paris Saint-Germain in 2002. After excelling in the youth system, Sakho earned a call up the senior team by manager Paul Le Guen. In October 2007, on his league debut, he became the youngest player ever to captain a Ligue 1 club after wearing the armband in the club's 0–0 draw with Valenciennes. Since making his debut with the club, Sakho has become an integral part of the team earning starting berths in the first 11 under managers Paul Le Guen and Antoine Kombouaré. Sakho's playing style and ability have led to the media and former players drawing comparisons to former French international Lilian Thuram.
Tooku no hou de hikari ga ikiteru
Kumo no nagare ni iro wo tsukeru Sunda kuuki ni kokoro yomigaeri
Kaze ni fukarete tachi tsukusu
Takadai no you na kono nagame wo
Kimi to mita kono jikan ni
Onaji toko mite naranda sugata ni
Kitto saidai no koi wo shita
Hajimari wa shizuka
Tada kono hikari wo matte
Yuraida kimochi wa mou kawara nai yo
Daki atte kanjita
Kimi no taion wo ima demo wasurete nai yo
Kiiroi KAATEN ga kaze ni yurete
Sukima kara nozoku hikari
Yoko ni nemuru kimi ni kitto
