So in my village, I was the best player in my village.
So I scored the goals.
I was the fastest, all this kind of physical talent.
I was really fast.
Later on, when I studied sports science, I could jump far.
I could jump high, all these kind of things.
So it was a physical talent.
The problem was small spaces, technique.
That was my problem.
So what they saw probably is the attitude.
I was a warrior on the pitch.
It was difficult to beat me, stuff like this, to kick me out of the game or get me out of the game.
I was really focused.
I had a really good attitude for the game.
But I didn't see it.
So I was not happy.
I was literally surprised.

So it was like, the question was, are you number seven from the game before?
