		Marcel Desailly "the Rock" and Laurent Blanc "The President" made up one of the most formidable defensive partnerships at the end of the last century and it was largely thanks to their superb technique and ability that France were able to win their first World Cup.
		Born in Accra Ghana, in 1968, Desailly moved to France when he was 4 with his mother and stepfather, from whom he took the name Desailly.
		When Deschamps finally retired from the international scene, Desailly took over as captain but the gap between the two players in terms of their leadership qualities was cruelly exposed at the 2002 World Cup as France slumped out in the first round in disarray.

		If the French consul had not stopped at a bus stop in Accra in 1962 to give a mother and her three children a lift to work at a department store, Zinedine Zidane would be out on his own as Europe's most successful footballer.
		On being apprised of the state of play, he said: 'If it's is a girl we'll call her Marceline and if it's a boy, Marcel, like me.' So it was that Odenkey Abbey was born and named Marcel Desailly.

		But this piece is aimed at a certain Marcel Desailly, born in Ghana to Ghanaian parents and christened ‘Odenke Abbey’ but who turned up for France in international football and remains not just the only Ghanaian to play in football’s World Cup, but also the only winner from the land of massive football talents.
		Desailly said long ago, in fact when Serbian Ratomir Dujkovic was still in charge of the senior national team, that he would like to take a crack at coaching the Black Stars.
		And before Desailly even forgets, the best example he can easily recollect is his predecessor as France captain Didier Deschamps’ wonders with Monaco in his first stint as a coach, leading them to the UEFA Champions’ League final.

	Marcel Desailly Pro Soccer Review for Nokia N-Gage \| Game Power Australia
		One of the big differences between Marcel Desailly Pro Soccer and FIFA Football 2004 is the official licenses — FIFA has them, and Marcel Desailly doesn't.
		Desailly aside, you can expect to see fictional names like Del Pio, Raoul, Heirro and G. Novilein in the game, though it's not hard to make out who the players are supposed to represent.
		The game is equally impressive in the sound department — a dance-inspired track accompanies the slickly designed menus, while the roar of the crowd mid-game and the sounding of the air horns never comes across as being tinny or compressed.

		Faktisk mener jeg at Marcel Desailly Pro Soccer er bedre end N-Gage versionen af FIFA 2004 på en række områder.
		Spillerne er nemlig en smule større i Marcel Desailly Pro Soccer end de er i FIFA 2004.
		Lydsiden af Marcel Desailly Pro Soccer er også forbløffende god, i hvert fald hvis man tager i betragtning, at der er tale om et spil til en håndholdt konsol - en glimrende lydkulisse skaber den rigtige fodboldstemning, mens dommerfløjt høres tydeligt under spillet.
