really weird for patrice to be talking about child abuse. but because of my i am a human being, but he also said that football was the lifeline that saved him. ah the trees thank you for coming to speak to me today. you're welcome. you are one of the most successful football players and recent history. but since retired before we done so many things, you thought pundits re lots of social media activism. what is the thing you most enjoy doing with your time at the moment? i is finally don't set up an alarm. a noise bees like meeting people is by and people helping people who isa i didn't of the time to do it. you know? because i always say when you were a football player, you leaving the bubble and you are like,

like trap inside that box. i need doesn't allow you to do many face. you would like to do so now i, i be honest, i feel free as, as a person, but also mentally. and i can think about different things and we should talk about your back. you mentioned the neighborhood lazy, least way of from and a lot of really, really successful players came from there like town, really messiah. what do you think it is about? the french suburbs that produces such successful players is so many different nationality. you know, is, is a mix. i know. do you know, lizard is we are the only lead to be the only to city we win every trophy like between me, ali and marcial and like different league. so is so many buttress ever so many children only. so many marshal in my little town. oh to say it is because it's so many culture lie. you going to have like people from synagogue, from algeria for my lee and all this mix. and we like playing in the street. i

think playing football, save you bomb, stealing to stay away from being naughty or whatever. so good, but is a way to communicate with other people. and when you're leaving the street, football is the most important thing. many people they can about, you know, it's coming hardships, as a child are privacy, drugs, islands, but they're very faithful own as at your level with that as they can about child abuse. as you had done, the book opens with that. why was it important for you to start to pick that way? ah, i never talk about it before by way kim is because i open myself to the woman of my life mago and we were watching something on tv about her pedophile, and we look and she said, my god is some one buddha to okay, there we go. crazy and she saw my read, my face was really lie, you know, angry and say okay, and i say yes, i'm fine. she said no, you not okay. but she was the matter. so when i tell her she cry, of course,

and i cry too. from that day i start to understand, you know, i need to get rid of that took seeing masculinity because i grow up as crying is a sign of weakness. so she unlocked something and i was like, okay, i can't lie, did my autobiography and don't tell everything. and after, of course, for people it was like really weird for, but she has to be the captain of the french national too much to say united talking about is a child abuse. but because i my, i am a human being and i think we need to help each other. and me releasing this book had been so many of the person i feel really blessed and grateful till that point still at they experienced having spoken about it or is it been positive april because of the reaction that you've had when things happen like that, you don't talk about that because you just like a raise them from your memory. and sometimes you can be shame about yourself. so is not like i was like, worry about what the, the public will think about it. my,

my biggest meeting was when i was in paris and i see my mom and to tell a face to face my abuse up and when i was 30 years old and now going to see her when you 39. and, you know, i noticed that she was the vested, she was like the petri sir. you say you're going to release your book, you gonna mention it. and i say, yes, maam, she say, are you sure you know to scale to? and as in mama, i'm not doing my book for myself, i do it to, to help or the children. and she was like, oh go for it. and how do you think that experience kind of holding on to that is a long, effective e pass neil professionally did it make a difference? see think, but of course you make mere roberts a machine. you don't trust people you don't trust, although it is because he was maya my head teacher and i actually, i realize every time you know, i was like, oh, why sometime am i crazy? why? i'm not the so your eyes because i from the street you know from the street you have to pretend to be a guns day, but you not to, he's just a,

a way of surviving. and since i open myself to, to margot and i start to realize actually, or it damage me so much. i was someone a trying didn't, wasn't part of my life. you know, i couldn't believe people even just watching a movie could cry. so i keep all those emotion inside, and you just like even some, some people who are like, well, patrice, you know, oh, you old with the strong like dad. you never show any, any weakness, you know, you never feel like you vanilla below, whatever. but now i'm a different man, you know, i'm more mature and i, i can control my emotion and i'm happy to cry. and with only that experience, now you're speaking out about it. how does that linked towards the kind of advocacy and outreach where you're doing? so what i'm trying to achieve is i won't change everything myself, but i think i want to make sure like those, those kid, you know,

i've done the strains to say like, okay, then i've but receiver i expose himself in front of 1000000 people. i think i should talk to someone so thus they're just people to try to to open up. do you think that there is something about football that specifically makes it difficult to speak about these things compared to others? for example, other spaces? yeah. football is light like they say you, you can show in the vulnerability and i bet i play with the gay players and they were coming and talking to me because they know or hope and i was about it, but they will never speak in front of a one because people wheeler reject them and i have a perfect example when i was playing for wisdom and earn some one from the english federation. come and talk about the subject. you know, we need to accept every one. and you can see in the room some people were like going crazy and mad if someone is gay of to leave. and after ice, i stood up and i say both silence to every one. can you believe in 2000 or 20 at

the time? was still like say we're going to reject you. noise is not fair. you've been involved in some of the nice kind of contentious debates around vase a one time you a call with a gangster in french government because he had taken a stand he was to pull in one of your fellow payers and he went on strike when you look back at that, how do you feel and do you think that things have changed? now do you think things are better or when o knows? nothing change because like i say football is a platform where you can send a message. but the problem is that society like his medication, no, not baby born as a racist person or 7 different. so i'm not surprised. i remember when it was 3 english player and in mr. penalty and i get a lot of abuse and people start pointing old english fine. they are races. i was, i all done, you know, is the same every way in football like we froze when we strike for, for,

for the caught, i nellikka, said the li, are they forget your french possible since at the new, just the single is. so i was like, this is let's, let's stop being hypocrite in the football world. that's the way happen. but to blame the food boys, things it is not just that is the society is bigger than that, but i think we should do lot more than what we doing. and i say to people, we have to stop pretending and you know, you know, not talking silence is a crime. and we can change things. but like i say, and i like to give that example about the, the super lee. and you could see like, like i have the one was you need and they're fine they, they protest or whatever. i see some of my extension made and pundits and he was on t v. like every meal 2 people were just talking about it. and i look at it and i was like, but i wish, you know, we got the same energy to fighting, you know, against services. the truth is, when you know, you don't touch the pocket of people,

they want change things. a number of high profile that man including upon james and daniel lee, i have spoken about that addictive feeling as being in the zone at the top of your game and how winning can the committee for it? thing that you're always chasing is that how you felt in 2014 after intensive paying with nights united in a bit to say during that time you felt quite depressed. you are deterred you, you are, you are a robot and especially, you know, when you play under somewhere like sir alex ferguson, ferguson teach you, winning is not important. winning is normal. and every year, if i don't win the league all the chapters, whatever you feel like a failure, i remember some time we were likes going gold or whatever i was even like, don't need to celebrate because is no money's your job, but actually is not. if you ask me, you know, i, i don't leave any regret, but you can't unsure the moment because is so much pressure so much focus. and when you play for france of brazil,

ingler what people expect you to win the tournament. so you know, when you don't have a good tournament, after you have to, you have 11 sunny day. every day people will talk about it. you have to go back to your club. you don't have time to to, we charge. that's why we should leave the walk up every 4 year. if we care about the mental f of the player because they are human been and we need to stop thinking about business because this is business, this is money. but what about them entire? and i know we are toys, you get injury out, we buy a new player and you've been so successful at football is giving you the freedom to travel and be in different places. and i wonder if you would have been able to have that kind of growth and experience if you hadn't tate football. and what would have happened if he didn't had the co 8 had whether or not you would have made that for the boys have my life. the bull allowed me to speak 6 differently english. i wasn't that great at school, but you know, traveling. we've the, we've, the team is illusory. that's why i say to every child in the world,

when you get the opportunity to travel to meet different people cure to do it. he open your mind a worley, so be. but if you stage us where you leave and you don't travel, you won't understand to what you want, understand different people defend religion. but of course, where i grow up most of my friend, you know, some of them read some one of them. i in jail. it could be, it could be like her, but jonah for precious. that's why i always say, bless and grateful. you do have any com energy about you. you know, i can feel like what you're saying to me and that you've been through this process and really kind of put things in their place. is ella that down to the pickle what we will even to say, i don't, i really don't know is just like i'm so passionate about life. and i, i don't like to find, excuse when you get sexually abuse at the age of 13, you grew up with this trauma. when know, you know, you grew up in the street is all about like surviving and her. when you, you born as a black person is

a disadvantage in this world. i don't have the answer. i can tell you is because i, i talk with mago because of my book. i don't have the answer. it's just nice to see anyway, you know, can up and you cannot burn and is beautiful. because even many people were they were like, wow, buttress you. so nice, you can be o'clock, you can be funny, whatever. but when you angry, something different in your eyes is fire something dark. we all of a docs i and i think me was become a lot from my trauma and i realized that when of you, oh my satisfied now i feel content. and when you play, you never content because you keep chasing, winning, winning, winning, winning, and all your emotion as on the side. now i am leaving my best life to love that for you. i just want to say thank you so much. you're only coming and speaking to me. thank you. but

it was no ordinary football tour. as the taliban gains back control of afghanistan in 2021, it took numerous failed attempts, a safe house to flight. and the diplomatic efforts of full countries for these players from the countries used women's national football team to make it to this portuguese pitch. 24 year old afghan canadian cartoons and moustache captain of the afghan women's national team, coordinated the evacuation of david, $200.00 footballers and family members. last time i was in portugal, so couple months ago i joined her on a visit to see how the girls are settling into their new life in portugal after their perilous journey. when the tell them took over afghanistan and the government

fell, the football federation asked me to help evacuate the youth national players because their lives were out for us. and so immediately i started looking for possibilities to get them out. unfortunately, i didn't get their response that i was looking for in canada. and so cas sawyer, the former iranian national team, had coach. she's an iranian american. she connected me with us government officials through her sister and immediately we start got started on an evacuation of all the countries in the world that you could be evacuating refugees to. why was it portugal? it just made sense for everyone to come to one nation and portugal was willing to support them and their family members as well. whereas other nation just wanted to support the girls and that just wasn't going to be a viable option. can you tell me a little bit about the goals and what they're like? so the girls are predominantly 14, to 18 years old. they are,

are some of the most passionate and dedicated girls to the game. some of their parents support has and but a lot of them didn't and didn't know that there were competing and learn always and in all of them being an athlete. so today we're going to visit that i us. unfortunately, she did not come with her parents, and so she's looking after her siblings. she's playing football, she's learning online. she's doing an incredible job. i am going to kick warm to you, so you got one book. usually. you still come. daughter said i've been to ryan sarquiza, i wasn't able to make it out in the 1st flight. 003 months later she made it onto another flight that for couldn't negotiate. it
