footwork aplenty with the ball. and without. a young man of many facets and also not averse to showcasing his acting abilities online it all helps keep the boredom at but. the enemy of good. is a way to express express yourself of growing old people i don't know you personally go through social media i know a little bit more about you. and also. i know says i've been to team. edmonton in central canada the regional capital is home to almost a 1000000 people the davies family moved to in 2006 after arriving in the country on a refugee relocation program with both parents out working alphonso had to look after his younger siblings on a daily basis and he has been living. here

back in see my mum boy listing to me. one bright. and. 9 was the start of football around. to see 121030 show is a start for born you know a little bit. later than most of my family my friends are playing on a very young age on a 1st i was just playing with my friends. you know outside. st nicholas catholic junior high in edmonton as fate would have it alfonso school also had its own in-house soccer academy these days his pictures grace the walls here mathematics teacher marco bussy. it was also his 1st coach back then and quick to recognize the

many qualities as he's new conservation. alfonzo team here each 111214 question for the game was through the roof on to was you know great leader on and off the field what impressed me the most gold was his ability on the ball. his 1st touch with fantastic everyone sees a piece everyone sees is a lot of system but i think what what separates him from the press is ability to combine that with this is that technical ability on the ball. to use the instrumental fun so i train up the school and you know ride the bike or your gym next guy. you know work on its legs for strength training. all different kinds of things. here we point out our best results from all of our students.

one of the tests that we've done here is a fitness test and alfonzo still has the record. this is the room that i taught fonzo math house. and then we have our talks and watch champions league soccer and here. on the big screen. i need interview to him interview when he was in grade 7 and i asked him those those same questions and he said that he wanted to be a pro soccer player and that was his number one goal and now he has my voice on phone to reach the special oh and. so in the pros today he certainly is playing with and against some of the best to winning effect song let's take a closer look at his getting. davies combines. a to vittie can versatility

with an exceptional level of athleticism here the quick one to leave his mark a trailing from the outset pulling further ahead he has the time and space to take stock of the situation before opting to square the ball to thomas miller. no goal on this occasion but it's a typical illustration of davies dynamism going forward. the canadian super talent can also open things up from further back with his long ball game becoming even more assured here he times the possibly taking out 7 opponents to sente might even perish it's clear. alfonso davies is causing quite a stir in munich so what is germany's most kept quiet think. of. davis is proving the point or courage for brian already. the competition for places that you're really thrown into a shop full as a young unknown quantity it's

a great achievement a breakthrough like that. moving in the right direction and i think with brian he's in very good of this. he's also a very cool customer under pressure with the technique to back it up here davies has 3 opposition fighters on his case but simply dribbles his white clear. naturally left footed he can switch to his right with possession safely retire. he's become brian's delivery specialist down the left playing a neat 12 sprinting upfield and 70 metres later still able to play a pinpoint pass into the danger zone. good chance to. look out much grab the cup at him. and look out quickly he did so and then he

provided it. he did the rest. yeah i did run a 100 years when i was in. 78 or 9. 11 something. it's not. track record at school did evidently leave a lasting impression. he did track and field in the. field he was unbelievable in a 1021500 and everyone was coming up to me. on the 100 meter and then he ran the 1500 here any one them he won them both it's rare to see you do the 150 if you don't do the really he did.
