My Story: Moussa Dembélé French professional footballer

Transcript

00:00My name is Moussa Dembele. This is my story.

00:20It was good. I started playing football with my brother at the age of four.

00:25We were playing on the street with friends.

00:27They were a small club in my hometown and I just started to train with them.

00:40I've done football on the street, so for me it's a pleasure to be where I am today.

00:45I started playing for the team we call Luis Sergi.

00:48It was my hometown team and it was good to play with them.

00:52First and foremost, when me and my brother wanted to join this team, they didn't want me.

00:58Because they said there are too many players to take care of and stuff.

01:04And my brother insisted and he said just give him one training session.

01:08And I trained with them. I was five at the age at the time.

01:12Five or six at the time.

01:14And I had one training session with them.

01:16And since that, they just took me and I played there two years.

01:20And afterwards, everyone knows.

01:22Yeah, when I signed with PSG was a big change.

01:29A big change for me because, you know, in a professional team

01:32and then you see everyone is wearing the same kids.

01:35And, you know, you go away in tournaments and play against other professional teams.

01:40And, you know, it was a massive change for me.

01:42But, you know, I enjoyed it and it was a good period of my young career, I would say.

01:48Move to Fulham was a tough decision to take for me, I think.

01:53You know, as a young man and a young player and a young person as well.

01:56You know, it's hard to go away from your friends and your family, you know, to work.

02:01But, you know, for me, it was a thing to do, you know.

02:05To go away from your family and friends, you know, to try to achieve your dreams.

02:10And, yeah, at the beginning, you know, it was tough.

02:13Because, you know, you come to a country where you've never been

02:15and you see people that, you know, you don't see them often

02:19and they speak a different language and stuff.

02:21But, you know, I quickly get onto it and I start to learn the language very quick.

02:26And, yeah, I had a good time there.

02:29My move to Celtic, you know, was a year ago.

02:36It's been good so far, you know.

02:38We've achieved a lot, I think.

02:40You know, we've played Champions League and we've won the Derby.

02:45And, obviously, we've won the League and the Cup and the two Cups.

02:50I think it was a great season for me last year, you know.

02:53I was top scorer in the team who were very good players.

02:57And, obviously, like, I start to play Champions League and, you know, I experience it

03:02and I see what I have to do to be up there and compete with the best.

03:06And I think that the move to Celtic for me has been just great, you know.

03:11And I think there's many, many more good seasons like this to come to me.

03:14I want to be one of the best strikers in the world.

03:16I don't want to be, like, one striker to be compared with another one.

03:19I just want to be me and make a name for myself and be the best. Simple.

03:36To be continued...
