edit

After starting his career withNîmes Olympique,[10]Cissé signed forAJ Auxerreat the age of 15.[11]Playing for the youth team in 1999, Cissé won theCoupe Gambardella,the equivalent of theFA Youth Cup.[12]After being promoted to the first team squad by coachGuy Roux,Cissé made hisLigue 1debut at the age of 17 as a substitute againstParis Saint-Germainon 20 March 1999.[13]His first goal came at the start of the2000–01 seasonin a 2–1 defeat ofFC Metz.[13]He ended this season, his first as a regular in the first team, with eight goals from 25 games.[12]

In the2001–02 season,Cissé was the top scorer in Ligue 1 with 22 goals from 29 matches, as Auxerre finished in third place and qualified for the2002–03 UEFA Champions League.Cissé's form saw him make his debut for theFrance national teamand earn a place in the team's squad for the2002 FIFA World Cup.[13]

Cissé was again amongst the league's top scorers in2002–03with 14 goals. He also scored six goals in six matches in Auxerre's successfulCoupe de Francecampaign, including both goals in the semi-final defeat ofStade Rennaisand the equaliser in the2003 Coupe de France Finalvictory over PSG.[13]

Liverpool

edit

At Liverpool, Cissé scored 5 goals in 24 first-team games in all competitions forLiverpoolin the2004–05 season.[16]He had only played 19 games forLiverpoolwhen a freak accident occurred while playing againstBlackburn Roverson 30 October 2004. While Cissé and Blackburn'sJay McEveleywere challenging for the ball, Cissé's boot got caught in the turf and his leg snapped. This resulted in a brokentibiaandfibula,and physio Daryl Martin said "It could take six to nine months for a recovery and the absolute worst-case scenario is 18 months..."[17]Cissé later revealed that had it not been for prompt attention from the trainers at the stadium, he would probably have lost the leg below the knee.[18]He had pins inserted in the leg, and was expected to be out of action for the rest of the 2004–05 season.[19][20]

However, in an unexpected return, Cissé was able to come on as a 75th-minute substitute in the second leg of Liverpool'sChampions Leaguequarter-final tie withJuventuson 13 April 2005.[21]He went on to score both Liverpool goals in their lastPremiershipmatch of the season, a 2–1 win overAston Villa[22]and also converted a penalty in Liverpool'spenalty shootoutwin overAC Milanin theChampions League final.[23]During the2005–06 season,Liverpool managerRafael Benítezdeployed Cissé on theright wingon numerous occasions.[24]While his pace made him well suited to such a role, it was doubtful whether he would be happy to continue in this role rather than in his preferred position as striker.[10]He scored two goals as Liverpool won the2005 UEFA Super Cup.Cissé also scored Liverpool's opening goal in the2006 FA Cup Finalwith a sliding shot past West Ham United keeperShaka Hislop.Liverpool went on to win 3–1 onpenalties.He ended the 2005–06 season with 19 goals in all competitions.
