Yesterday, Atalanta Bergamo became the winner of the Europa League, beating Bayer Leverkusen, which lost for the first time in 51 matches, and Ademola Lookman was the hero of the match by scoring Hattrick.
Ademola did not have an easy life because he grew up in the poorest district of London.
His family was so poor that the fridge was usually empty and to eat something he went to dinner with his friends.
Every day, however, he trained to become a professional footballer and ensure that he and anyone in his family would never run out of food again.
It wasn't easy for him because until he was 16 he played in a completely amateur Sunday league.
Earlier, his best friend died at the age of 14.
However, this did not break Lookman because, apart from training hard, he studied very conscientiously.
He was such a good student that his parents thought he would be a lawyer.
However, he felt deep in his heart that football was his destiny.
Every time he played and trained, he tried to follow his idol Sadio Mane and, as he says, he learned the most from him.
When he joined professional Charlton Atletic at the age of 16, it became clear that his hard work was not in vain!
Then, through Everton and the Bundesliga, he went to Atalanta, where he became a hero
He went from extreme poverty and many tragedies to total success.
He proved to the world that it is possible.
When asked what helped him achieve success the most, he replied without hesitation that no matter how difficult it was, he trained hard every day because he had in mind the goal of earning so much money so that no one in his family would starve.
Moreover, another key to his success was that he had an idol who was Mane.
He could learn from him and follow someone as an example, and he also knew that it was possible to overcome poverty and achieve success because Sadio Mane did it!
Look, if you were to learn something from Lookman and follow his path, you can do it today!
Try to use your life difficulties as your motivation and then find an idol to look up to and model yourself after.
If you are persistent and determined, you will succeed!
