As we are watching Euros tournament, I questioned myself why there is no succesful somali playing at the top leagues?
The reason? Lack of ambission. I know plenty of good somali players who could have made it far. What are they doing now? Nothing, they gradually stopped playing. They where in good academies but instead stopped focusing on football. The mentality of a winner is not there.
They had no parental pressure to stop them from playing. I wonder what happened. They even played for the youth national team. U16 and U17 and U18.
I am talking about guys who were the top players in their teams. Players who had talent. Speed, skill and technique. Now they are just chilling, doing whatever.
Until the mentality of somali players change, we will not see a succesful somali player.
