These players managed to play across the globe before even thinking about playing in their
00:03
homeland at the top division. Marco Verratti never played in Serie A. In fact he's one of
00:08
the rare breeds of Italian footballers that hasn't just gone straight from Serie B into
00:12
Serie A. Of course he moved to PSG and became a legend, making over 400 appearances and being
00:17
one of the most iconic players in his position throughout a generation. But still, no appearances
00:21
in the Italian top division. And Antoine Griezmann, the French man who moved to Spain with the
00:26
German name. He played for academies when he was a kid but only in Spain. He was rejected in France
00:30
before making his move to Real Sociedad when he was a teenager. So that's no appearances in Ligue 1
00:35
but becoming an icon over in La Liga. Dejan Kulosevski, Swedish maestro, one of the great
00:39
players in the Premier League at the moment for Tottenham, however never made a senior appearance
00:43
over in Sweden. In fact he moved to Italy when he was just a kid, went to Atalanta before going to
00:48
Juventus and of course making his big move over to England. Lionel Messi, we all know the story,
00:53
the little boy from Rosario and he left there just aged 13 years old. And despite winning it all,
00:58
including the World Cup, he's never actually played in the top division in his homeland.
01:02
Paul Pogba's back in football and he's broken the trend for these players who have never touched
01:06
their homeland. Completed his transfer to Monaco and he'll play in Ligue 1 next season. Had spells at
01:10
Juventus before coming through the academy at Manchester United, he's never actually been in
01:15
France in the top level before. But the incredible part about all these players is the sacrifice that
01:19
these young players have to make just to be able to make it. And most of them have had to move out
01:23
from their homes as just young teenagers.
