Many players write to us because they intend to quit training because in their opinion scoucts are looking for players only among those who have trained from an early age in the most famous football academies in the world and due to the course of their career, these players are privileged and those from small clubs are without opportunities!
On the portal as part of the #MOTIVATIONMONDAY series
We have already presented you dozens of stories of players who started out in total poverty, playing as amateurs at the beginning, and yet made it to the top.
Therefore, today, to prove to you once again that the key element in achieving success in football is hard work and the right mental attitude, and not the club in which you play, at the beginning of your career, learn about the history of RB Leipzig player Christopher Nkunku.
Nkunku joined the PSG academy at the age of 14 from the Fontainebleau amateur team.
When he started playing in PSG junior teams and it turned out that he is one of the best players in this team, Christopher did not train with full commitment, he stopped listening to the advice of the coaches, because he thought that if he was in such a large club, success would come automatically.
In the club, they noticed this situation and the lack of commitment, so they even wanted to get rid of it a few times when he was still a junior, but it did not happen because the club still placed hope in him.
When PSG started buying the best Nkunku players, despite being promoted to the first team, he was only a substitute and heard in 2019 that the club no longer needed him.
Then the young French footballer wondered what to do in order not to waste his talent and be simply become an average footballer.
He had offers from clubs that offered him a lot of money, but chose the RB Leipzig team because he was convinced by an talk with Ralf Rangnick, the club's sporting director who convinced him that if he did not want to waste his talent and was ready to change the mentality and attitude to the one that required 100 percent commitment from him
and hard work, he should join RB Leipzig, and if he can withstand and cope with the amount of work ahead of him, most clubs in the world will want to buy him!
After joining RB Lipisk Nkunku he has completely changed, becoming the most committed and hard-working footballer on the team both during training and matches because he understood that talent without hard work is worth nothing and if he wants to be more than just an average player, he must work much more than now .
After two and a half years at RB Leipzig, Christopher has offers from the best clubs in the world, including PSG, which recently turned him down. Even so, he has no intention of changing his mind and is still working hard because he understood that signing a contract and making a lot of money is not what a soccer career is all about.
The greatest success is enjoying the development process and appreciating that you can do what you love no matter what club you play for!
Therefore, finally understand that regardless of what club you currently play in, what matters most is what skills you present and not what club you play in!
If you focus on hard work and development, you can achieve absolutely anything!
