If you are currently an amateur footballer and you believe that nothing can change it, be sure to read this story!
At the EURO 2020 currently played, one of the best players is Denzel Dumfries whose history is another example of the fact that if you work hard, have the right skills and are properly determined, success will come sooner or later!
Well, Denzel has never been recognized as a great talent in the Netherlands, and despite the fact that in this country scouting and seeking talent is at the highest level, he played until the age of 17 in a completely amateur club called VV Smitshoek, then until he was 19 in the semi-amateur BVV Barendrecht .
Dumfries, however, has always been very ambitious and hardworking, and despite playing at such a low level, he believed in his success and trained every day as if he were already a professional.
In addition, due to the fact that he did not arouse the interest of agents or clubs, he contacted them himself, presenting his skills in the form of a video and invited scouts to come to see his game.
It didn't work for a long time, but at some point Sparta Rotterdam gave him a chance, offering him a very low contract at the beginning.
Denzel immediately agreed because he believed in his skills so much that he knew that he would soon join the leading clubs in the Netherlands.
Exactly as he assumed.
From Sparta he went to Heerenveen and then to PSV!
Now Dumfriesa are looking to bring together the best clubs in Italy, Spain and England after playing amazingly at the Euro.
Notice how it quickly changed from an 18-year-old playing in amateur clubs to a 25-year-old who will soon be a player in the best clubs in the world!
As we repeat at every step, the key to achieving the goal was hard work every day - self-confidence and the fact that as a young player he was not persuaded that he was too weak to play at a professional level!
If your goal is to become a footballer, don't wait for offers that will suddenly fall from the sky without your action!
