On Thursday, Sancho spoke on his official website, detailing his formative years and how his journey away from home shaped him.
As I recall, Sancho played soccer on the streets of the Guinness Trust Building on Kennington Park Road, and as he played with his mates, his soccer skills matured, and he became the little star of street soccer. The trials and tribulations of adversity forged his indomitable character, and he learned to face challenges and grow up quickly. Even now, with his star on the rise, his friendship with his childhood friends remains unbreakable.
As an elementary school student, Sancho joined the school team and was named the best player in a mini-tournament organized by his father. He went on to play for Watford FC, and his footballing career progressed. However, at the age of 11, Huddersfield's youth academy opened its doors to him and he left home for the first time, embarking on a new journey. Initially lonely and uncomfortable, he gradually clarified his goals and focused on soccer, finding his own source of joy on the green pitch.
Sancho was 14 years old when he joined Manchester City's youth training camp, opening a chapter in his youth.In 2017, he bravely left Manchester City to join Borussia Dortmund, a decision that was quite controversial at the time. But Sancho believed in his own strength and dared to take risks to prove himself. Now, he has returned to London to join Chelsea, a heartwarming reunion after his time away from home.
Sancho said that joining Chelsea came as both a surprise and an expectation. He is grateful to legendary players such as Lampard and Drogba for supporting Chelsea from a young age. Now he is part of the team, playing alongside his young teammates in the pursuit of victory. Sancho firmly believes that with unity and joint efforts, they will create glory. Soccer is not only his career, but also his life, and it is his motivation to keep moving forward.
