a diverse beginnings in the islands capital kingston to stardom in leverkusen and his time in country 4 for the way arthur for his only thing i know was hope was. back to the roots with use of power as unlike say some danish dynamite growing up in copenhagen without a father and working his way to the top in saxony. but according to him it was never the great talent everyone thought would make you. claim. i am. his philosophy. mentions men rule human and we should help others that's how it was raised and how i try to live the future of i think. his gift. to you all murder my his gran bought him a rubber ball of one from after that there was no stopping ours. our shores are.

good never a good never finishes more with a come back. this past. month or so to make my time in england shape to make an on going abroad was the right move would be awesome to get . the stage tonight with the football pro whose heart is in the right place. the family's importance and the wider family as well as for yours about mindset of giving back which which i love from the 1st moment i heard it because he doesn't forget its roots and that's really important. to this day the 24 year old regularly likes to return to his roots as often as he is busy buying shakeel and now. this is where it all began that age 11 can at least gifts were spotted by regional powerhouse. then under the wing of klaus who push. side and he was certainly one of

germany's most talented players in his age group this is when stage was 13 was. rather hard to. see 1000 date was a formative year for can operate in more ways than one it was also when he 1st visited ivory coast his father's homeland careful working class 1st on here was 5 weeks in the summer when i was 13 so it was fantastic but always come as my father so with me so as a family member because he was. goodling his horizons from an early age his dad was always a defining president's. vision so my father has been little have little figure in market element and he's coached and supported me since childhood a lot of talented people don't get the right support i got but 100 percent from my parents from at that from an at and form factor. we spent 5 years in the use ranks at stuttgart where his potential was evident 'd. describes surges and. really

talented exceptions are motivated and a great person would limit your volley off into new year we were actually tournament and on the 2nd day of me someone came up to me and said. one player they'd sees you are interested to see still and they'd like to take him over to london for me but i was a bit skeptical at 1st. it wasn't an easy decision into the unknown at 16 leaving your friends and family for a new country and for the from you it was a courageous step but he didn't have to take it alone dad came along for it i had to go to keep him on the straight and narrow new country new language it was an exciting time he had in-house support from experienced fellow countryman pat metz acca who also joined arsenal in 2011 i've seen a player who was very immature and couldn't make his own proper decisions to a guy who really stepped up and i was able to be himself express his feelings

and make sure that he delivers them now please time at arsenal was constructive but not without except backs the part of the making of today and stop. i just think it's smile it is baby i just stick to shops i know i had a distinctive lust for life that sitting on bally. very laid back and relax and always just want to have fun that goes you know me and my family but still have been on. music just basically give me a vibe. he'd make all the caribbean island which is bailey's homeland through things i love or to make that. i love. the parts and still. i love the neighborhood to. go to the beaches.

you are never far from the beach in the capital kingston. the future lay because in style was born here and spent the 1st years of his life growing up in the socially deprived because solve the peace district. or. the. poor. in a suspicious stunt but his adoptive father craig butler provided a way out it was a lot of war going on between different subjects and i remember. leon experience seeing. it people get shot in front of all 10 of them are the years of the sixty's. want to move him he forgot how to read. so damaging it was for local businessmen but adopted bailey when he was 7 and it rolled the youngster as you said in football academy. award.

want to. see. alongside his own son kyle the bullies brew up together you know we help each other and it's very street smart and very funny for words although personal can only get out of both of them so. they always have good times they were also balanced by a shared dream to one day be a professional footballer and definitely leaf they get behind. with be able to come through infirmity like that and be able to turn the tables i mean i've just taken a positive over the weekend says it's. the future is now bailey joined leverkusen at the start of 2017 and downs of peace at bosh the 22 year old why did tackle already found his regular place in the starting line up the last campaign. but you

. want to be the worst. thing for me why because you like my style of playing. or you want to play. this for tom to make his way from jamaica to the champions league taking on one challenge at a time. good statists. can't go anywhere in the city because they all love her and her ears i hear how this was going to work 50 people in but if they don't feel. safe my. kids jenny. used to learned the hard way that's what she did everything is what use of it. kids rai's thank you somebody told me but then he would be the profile of the business nigga at this point i would have left my. he laughs now most in the hopes no guest.

yousif grew up with his parents in the danish capital copenhagen his father inspired him from a young age to his own passion for football my father what i'm saying my dad was the only one in the family who loved football he played himself he introduced me to it and i thank him every time my school. his father she she died of cancer when palestine was just 6 years old. oh. yes always been very open about it i know you haven't forgotten him using it as a motivation you always on a good name marry your body for him it's it's an important part of himself and he will never forget his roots these 2 are all sort of part of his rates that banks now with pathan icons thing greece and christian or god to place for london side to

apologise to his closest friends since way back when we were young as a very young players before the ones with the money he was like going out every weekend. i was a wild show. and why not at this stage the prospect. yousif living as a footballer that seemed unlikely also to his coach thomas frank. who was spending a lot of the best for that moment in time when we were youth players you'll look to jerusalem this guy's fast and strong but with the ball you can't do anything you could play a ball and he would try to stop it and they would jump 3 meters away i was never denmark's greatest talent the one everyone thought would make it. maybe biggest interest in wanting me once whenever someone said you won money i wanted to show that i could understand. the hard work paid off 520-1213 pounds than was

a regular started failing be in the danish 2nd division they narrowly missed out on promotion and that summer he moved to like such. a thing with a brewery choice the fact that he's going to the police with everybody in the middle saying what is this guy doing. he was doing just the right thing. back to search can operate nowadays a top star empire and he decided to take his 1st professional steps with arsenal. was a coach you knew would give young players a chance it was a huge opportunity and i wanted to give us a go. but the big breakthrough never quite happened in england cannot replace 10 times for off now in the premier league scoring once surprising as soon as he was fit said well he got injured again it was just a constant process. along the line i was injured for

a long time and then on loan to west brom where i hardly played as who contributes and some of. our boys are in their father when it's even getting the farm. sort of always young some supporters to feel. chin up will both suffer together and become something. yeah the lights are for it was for those was about his family always supported him and one cannot bring headed to the olympics in rio in 2016 it was a big turning point for his career. disputes or just getting game time was crazy and the tournament was a big success for myself on the t.v. months often for winning olympic silver for germany. can now be scored 6 goals in 6 games of the tournament suddenly half the bundesliga wanted a piece of serious doubt but. the next step was brave men both much reflux got a lot of games that could maintain the rhythm uncle james who at the olympics i was just enjoying getting up there playful moved to give us

a feel for the enemy to go see him since shoots himself should look so good school . boy he made the right choice sustiva up. 11 goals and 27 games in his maiden brenda's league campaign enough to convince by him to secure his services they then followed him out to hoffenheim for the yeah here's kidnapper you should never use it was wrong are. you speaking you are just one of the machine toughest and it's hard to go get yourself ready to hear what's it going to look up . to feature that shape but. it's got. a really likes there assertive attacking style and figure before i started by him but i like to take another step much with michael once again and that would prove to be a why he's made you feel. funny on bailey hurdles at the edge of the economy the rights to

a professional football career was littered with the stuff in jamaica. with the street football i mean as a kid but i always used to play with on the days. when leon came towards me a miserable 6 a mouse a. very young but the old. how the pressure on the designer. to make it so you train long hours. good thing about it he's always wanted to learn. and he's humble. ox is a little bit is supposed to know i'm not so being a really i want to be into something as you go home because some of the most milk. in france for the malls but he was the 1st person to actually them to start to think of all food. we use seriously to take it to

a different level. and then went to europe but let's start off with history brightest prospects 14 year old leon sutton kyle and can said at 1st they pursued the dream of professional football in austria but they underestimated the cold climate our 1st stop was rebel cells are going to be you have winter clothes and all gloves and all along there's nothing that. rolls on the plates and its fingers were burning so we went inside but normally when the when the time is very cool of your fingers i know you should pour cold water on it i mean i knew i didn't i don't put the warm water i was too good for the. earth and then you started to cry there are times when you have tears running down his eyes because the sounds are frozen but he never stopped never gave. any words mystical it to pave the way to show. you that jimmy grace not just the world the ball state car

of body are you seeing well we can also play football up to 2 years since you're back yet they only turned professional in 2050 belgian side getting a dream fulfilled at 18 years old 18 months later with his transfer to live a coups and he was. presenting jamaica in the book to speak out. before use its powers and made it big in the business he used to play one of the parks of copenhagen this district both grew up there dislike of some sort of the city his family still living in the same place in the same apartment. his family 4 siblings and mom played. she was there on the touchline every week if i didn't know the offside rule but she had me on anyway which was far from

for you. and it's not i mean his mother who loves you so if he's everybody's down there. it's almost impossible to say because he was such a good yours or through the press for which he. was 17 and he was one of those characters everybody what. qualities that helped him on like 6 radar powers said just 19 when he signed in 2030 new chapter in german football's. publisher i arrived to training sessions straight away in the game on saturday and another on sunday 2 games in 2 days. if you can run for a week after that it was a tough start because. it helps to have friends pals and shared a flat with your shoe a commission now is start out by and they still get along well even though yousif eventually moved on he's a. try for the next and i just want to take the next step and try to live

independently source stuff on my own and not always be knocking on your door for how bringing in let's say monthly. or getting out of his comfort zone another paulsen characteristic losing his father so early forced him to grow up faster than others. should have been for him. well in those situations it's very tough but they control it and specially yours are for i think he learned from that when you're sure he was mature if you're just to the world if you can say that way so going away from home i was hopeless i'm sure he was he was ready to go. ready for that. series maybe the face of the change but that's a has been so use of us has been there with them all the way he really deserves. all the success is getting but. like fish has now made it from the 3rd division to the champions league thanks in part to policy and its own evolution from team

player to fully fledged go grab. a piece part of shall bring you. the 1st one to be a professional but in the end making it to bahrain and playing with these guys and such of them as slicing and dicing in his 1st year at munich and every contributed significantly to buy an instant best stick double winning campaign 10 goals and 5 to 6 in 30 league outings for the c.b.l. champions of what does need a start she did to the bigger picture of the pick she's more than happy to share his good fortune quite literally with the common goal project teams are common goal the idea behind a common goal is to build a bridge between the world of professional football i know world where football saves lives with organizations like this one in ivory coast using footballers of

the solicitor social change. professional players like search number one percent of their annual incomes towards these kinds of projects we had conceived of. actually being here it's a different world seeing how the whole program works. they shaped the trainmen to deliver a message through football in one of the girls and boys the kids here can understand and that will help but there's a bit. that. one seat next you wouldn't think he's a professional footballer playing football on. and that makes me proud. he's remained very down to earth as we'd hoped he would still be our got to stay here. but he is a footballer and highly rated. with me he says collaborate with the always plays.

and there's much more to come. much my issues sometimes underperforms i know him better than anyone so she can still get along better. playing for type of nationally internationally was germany that's another big step for these girls still lost talents but i feel like he is growing. in his personality and that's probably more support. and his heart warming life philosophy. on the other 2 it's important to help others we're all human football no football but we're really all one alliance. bringing a bit of jamaica to the bundesliga leon bailey. for a fast player that likes to treat sons the skills the boss and what.

i like to give. them to. enjoy myself on the pitch it's the truth. that count me out on injury the fans are seeing the best of him since peter bush took charge baby faced much more of the battle and. previous coaches typhon corporate tycoon happened. when i 1st signed here in you both for the 1st half a year i would have been a qualified for like almost all the games and i put on the stand why. in 201718 he truly came of age in the bundesliga 9 goals in 30 games including the instinctive back he led became an instant favorite with family and friends including sprint superstar but she. comes across young church

going mark caught up. to the kind of look she would tell me. to see him use it in again it brought tears to my eyes leon bailey is meanwhile a regular starter on labor conditions outside wings as to what the future holds the sky's the limit. we know for sure top top level i'm telling you don't want to be. in the future one of the best players in the word i want my name to be born like so much of the nation's. leon baby from the jamaican slums to a world stop at leave accuse. the use of power as a clinical fans favorite indict. the biggest name there he's been there for 7 years and years and most games for for the team and that's something you can't really it's very rare you see it in modern football that one play a series of a club for a long time. to look something else move the ball install the smart get. the

most to be conducted in the division you hold up the ball well others would shoot since then he's developed if you wish the. goals were few and far between for paulsen in his 1st 2 put to sleep this season but last time out. message 15 quite a dramatic transformation. what did you change in him but what did you do and it's like yeah i changed one thing governments a culture from going to be a good person clearly could be wrong let's also be a. you need to work a lot on your mentality to go all arrive in the box in the interim he's become equally indispensable for his country. to see his development going from not the person who is your group to be may be the player that you got the best career right now complete with the gold at the world cup finals always in

his heart and when he plays for denmark when he's back his late father you run. into middle of him to think is well if he hadn't got me interested who knows if i'd ever even have played football that's why i wear his name on my shellfish sign on. the sky he's not changing it doesn't matter how successful he will get the whole thing is he will get the whole ritual get who's remembering his roots and that's just a lot about who's. 3 remarkable football is 3 fascinating parts to the bundesliga and 3 terrific stories that are still very much in the making. this weekend their stories continue with live accused in taking on lights and by and facing this age cannot raise for my club hoffenheim. there's always states to kick up football the result is.
