Along with some honours in his home country he won 1 league title and two cups with Shakhtar, He was capped 37 times for the Senegalese NT scoring 3 goals. His career at top level football didn't last very long as he moved back to the Senegalese League after his spell at Shakhtar. N'Diaye was thought to be lazy and lacking determination. Things weren't like that in real life though. Chiotis won 1 Cup with AEK, 5 league titles, 2 cups and 4 super cups with APOEL and has 1 Greek cap.Ī physical monster, N'Diaye had all the attributes you would want from a hard-working defender. At the age of 39 Chiotis is still active playing for Football League side Appolon Smyrnis. A short spell to Trikala followed in 2015-16. A year later he transferred to APOEL and got european exposure as APOEL famously reached the Champions League quarter-finals with Chiotis playing an important role. A combination of falling out of favor and injuries saw Chiotis leave AEK for Kerkyra in 2007. In real life, he has just taken the first choice spot in AEK Athens and he also made Champions League appearences.

When you were looking through the Greek teams and wondering why does this unknown 19 year old have a bunch of 20s, only to find out 10 years later that the supposed golden generation was mostly fictional players (true story). When you could buy OP Scandinavians for very low prices. When the only thing keeping you away from success was your imagination (and skill), as imagining everything you read made it more exciting. This time 1 and a half decades ago.Īh, 2002, things were much simpler back then. Inspired by this FIFA 07 post, I go back to the future once again.
