to buy, did louis, i'll just say, oh, come on one, the d came from somewhere quite different and really blow seeing snow for the 1st time. it's about a month to think, considering his background. it's incredible how quickly everything's happened in the age of 9 usa says nice change dramatically when his father brought him to germany. swapping tropical yellow and de for hamburg, and the northern steeple stuff in inclement weather. it wasn't the only challenge he faced when specing out was thing pounding and came up, communication was an issue. he wrote a message, you'd be trying to figure it out. we got by often with sign language and football create to turn the ball, but it's a cliche, but it's true. the other boys help them integrate quickly. for all the supposed culture shock. he was in co tanner's office, and it was soon apparent that usa was a cut above his p as aged 11. he was put him with the on the 15th application,

st. talent. now more than holding his own and the youth ranks of a professional club looked up, he just loved laying football. but if you could sense to in every fiber of his body, every moment in training, the quality he had was obviously it was just about finding the right mix. i know the keep the dribbling another individual stuff while integrating it into more of a team oriented performance. but there as well, he was very quick to adapt and put theory into practice. but there 23 goals in 13 games and his 1st full season was thank colleagues. as the youngest member of the team, by far after less than 2 years in hamburg, mckoko was stirring the interest of some seriously big clubs and development would prove them most persistence in yorba linda,

california. 60 kilometers southeast of downtown l. a football mad. matthew hopi grew up here, the youngest of 3 kids. this is matthew bed and his he shares with his brother, and this is where his side of the 14 he spoke to the parental home for amazon and the pastor residency academy that an early korea step. but not an easy way to take that age from a domestic perspective. mm. i think we're pretty close to that family. so it's always tough when your children move further away and it's hard to get to be able to see them. he knew at a very young age what he wanted to do. he wanted to play a professional soccer and he wanted to play in europe. and so it was not a surprise to us, right. we just knew it was his lifelong dream. his sister taylor, for years she left home at the same time to study u. c. l. a. i knew like he must like small things like his friends and his

dogs and stuff. so like when i would drive home from los angeles to go back home, i said pictures of the dogs and stuff like that so you could see how they're doing and like talking to him about things going on here. so it's really fun having that shared experience with him like oh, moving out the same time academy tester grand day, i was operates in partnership with european giants and the lead up for budding us talents, recruitment direct to me hotline recalls matthews. early days that ah, came out then for a for a trial in the summer of 2017 had a very good weekend. we noticed a lot of very good traits and characteristics of the player. he's personality was very good. she was very, very, very, the nation was he took off, he started scoring goals and scored over almost he goes, you know,

in his father tom matthew's time at the academy was a defining period both for his sporting development and perhaps even more on a personal level that he had to go to a lot of in train over there for a couple weeks. but i think the thing that helped matthew out the most was being inside an environment where 247, you're living with your teammates. you're going to school with your boys, you're with your teammates all the time, and you're building friendships and bonds that can last a lifetime. in 2019, he joined the captain's child was renowned use academy progressing from the under 19 to reserve the next step. well then obviously a big difference in mobile potential have been as the from the twenty's, the punch, the massive game so much faster and you have to be so much smarter the keys

hello to florida. oh, do you need assistance? please don't for the last one i gave the kids dr. dynamism and blistering pace make for an irresistible old man package, seal as one of the legal, most exciting attacking talents after paying initially as a center forward. he's now generally deployed further out wide change that comes with specific new responsibilities doesn't mean that to deal also. busy we will not don't defensive work in those hands. how we adapt to that in the last 18 months. it's credible. this is the nice all the qualities you can see in the stadium. this is, this is a special assistant special qualities that aren't in successive rookie of the

months. awards the november and december last year when i was living in the 2nd here in france, wasn't so demanding. you always have space to operate in. surely wish you did this when i came to germany, my had to adapt to the more physical style which i'm put in a lot more defensive work as well. so hold my own in the league here, have a book with your mind up to something or if you have the open field, it's like you don't want to be, you know, it's not nice to be the one that gets funded. an open field gilman and the receipt to use academy. 2 years after leaving cameroon, you super mckoko had landed up one of germany's biggest clubs. and he needs to be honest, i'd never have thought i was that good times or because people were always saying

it. but i didn't believe them when that happens. so i'm so then when i saw some of the teams that were interested in me by and boss alona and so on. and i found that pretty impressive foundational research. that was really impressive, has been ongoing development in black and yellow. he was the lead help school rest of the under 17th. at the ripe old age of 13 was incredible. he got there and just kept on scoring. and that's how it's continued with him. always pushing up towards the next level. that's truly admirable. one of the youth level seats repeatedly resetting the record. but his age group and getting an early run out for germany's on the 16th as well. ahead of last season still and he 15, he was promoted to dorman senior squad. the club had successfully lobbied for the

minimum age for boon to see good duty to be lowered to 16 and the rest is history. the plan and the day. oh, don't winds of being who should be facing him in the backups? earning holland. but when the co get his chance to lead the line, he's a commanding presence. waste my child. i didn't like stuff over to him. the school is the limits. we thought we'd an inkling of it back then with his talent. it'll be exciting to see how he develops when november 2020 shall go with sound ring at the foot of the table. having seemingly forgotten how to win. matthew hope he hadn't yet progressed past the reserves, but that was all about to change. it says, you know what?

i think i'm going to be on the squad. i'm a good job. and then next day goes by. you know, i think i got a chance of starting like, you know, it was, i think it was kind of a little bit of a high, you know what i mean with that because you see him finally just accomplish something that he's always wanted to do to be able to plan the 1st. his 1st appearance came a way to mention glad back. it was no dream. w a shall come again out with the position on where the club is. it's difficult for everyone on the team to try and do the best to get out of it. so i think just the situation itself is very difficult. childhood. the next match is just a single point. 30 game without a victory. and then came puppies. take her o x against help and hide releasing a collective sigh of royal blue relief. that 1st one game winless record run

remains the sole property of tasmania. and they're welcome to it. especially for me to be able to help the club and, and even tasmania to help them keep the record. and that it was, it was a crazy day for me. his work ethic, his time commitment, but especially those vital goals through his team, a lifeline. and that struggle for survival, even in that time of christ, this copy was named january's rookie of the month and also append to contract extension shocker. i think that it was the best decision for me in the new club. and they gave me a chance when a lot of teams, i think when and they, they believe me and i'm putting the police back in the club. so matthew loves the club. matthew bleeds blue sharky. right. matthew, love shaka shops and so much for him. and he wants to help the club,

you know, stay up. maybe months. you hope he will help bring, shall come back along with you. mckoko and the company and all the other fast rising young talents in the legal japanese. next football generation is looking for the promise. ah ah ah, the news, the who's
