Imagine that you are a little boy living in one of the poorest countries in the world who loves football above all else and dreams of becoming a professional footballer in the future.
You watch matches every day and dream that you too will play in Europe in these beautiful stadiums.
However, when you ask your parents what to do to be a professional footballer, they tell you that it is impossible.
But you don't give up because your dreams are so big that they keep you awake.
Every day, from morning to evening, you kick every object and imagine it to be a ball.
You get the idea that you will play football with your friends every day, but you will also ask your parents to buy a ball and sports shoes for individual training.
You want to be better and better at all costs.
Your parents don't have the money to buy you such expensive equipment.
However, your dad got you a weathered ball that can still be used.
You are the happiest in the world when you get an old ball.
You play with your friends and then you train alone, although you have no idea how to train, you try to do everything to learn what is not perfect on the your games.
You practice , bounce the ball off the wall, etc.
You are getting better and better footballer.
Suddenly a man comes up to you and says that he has seen you play and invites you to the football academy which, as it turns out, is one of the best in the country and you have always dreamed of playing there and developing yourself.
After a while at the academy you are doing very well and you start going to France for tests.
They reject you a few times, but you don't give up.
You try to learn from these losses and you constantly ask the coaches what to improve and you watch matches of the best leagues to learn because you want to play there.
One time you succeed and you sign a contract with a club from the French II league.
You play very well and you end up in one club that is successful and helps the players grow a lot. Then almost every year you get an offer from the better clubs until you finally come to Liverpool and play and train with the best. You are in the Champions League final.
You achieve great success even though you started out in extreme poverty.
Once upon a time no one knew who you were.
Today everyone knows your name!
Your name is Nby Keita and play in Liverpool!
Your story becomes an inspiration for many young footballers in the world because I show that you do not have to start in a big club, you do not have to have great support, you do not need to know everything at the beginning.
It is enough that you start training hard, you will be persistent and you will do everything to develop and many things will become possible and achievable with time!
