1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,000
You only hear good things
about Montfermeil.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,360
Montfermeil is really famous.

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,200
The biggest club in Greater Paris.

4
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,960
It's my chance to prove to everyone
I'm one of the best.

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,360
It's still "amateur". We wanted star
talent, and we didn't find what we wanted.

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,000
So, we're disappointed.

7
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:18,360
Hey, wake up!

8
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,680
We aren't like a family.

9
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,040
We're all good individually,
but we weren't playing together.

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,520
[Bakary] We're on our turf!

11
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,040
Your family and friends
came here today to see you play.

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,720
And this is what you give them?
It's shameful!

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,760
[ominous music playing]

14
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,520
We need to go back out there determined.

15
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,880
This game is extremely important.

16
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,480
We have to win this one
no matter what.

17
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,520
[Mathias] After losing to Lens at home,

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,120
our morale took a big hit.

19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,080
There are 26 games in the season,

20
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,400
and 15 left to be played.

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,640
That means pressure.

22
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,160
The more pressure we're under, the more
mistakes we make. And that's not good.

23
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:06,840
[whistle blows]

24
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,600
[dramatic music playing]

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,880
[Isaac] We tied our games
against Red Star,

26
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:18,440
Valenciennes,
and our second game against Auxerre.

27
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,960
So now, we're asking hard questions.

28
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,560
[Mathias] It's like we're spiraling.
We're not in it.

29
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,840
And we're not winning games,
so we're all tense.

30
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:27,720
And that affects the team.

31
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,440
So, honestly, we're not doing well.

32
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,520
[Mehdi] We show you exactly
what's wrong, how to improve.

33
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:35,880
You just do it again.

34
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:37,680
That's a big problem.

35
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:40,600
[Romdhane] It's not normal
at this point of the season,

36
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,000
and not a single one of you
has gotten signed.

37
00:01:44,039 --> 00:01:47,120
Because you only think of yourselves.

38
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,240
You don't play as a team.
That's all we ask.

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,360
[Ibé] The coaches are really nervous.

40
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,680
Too low. We're too low.

41
00:01:53,759 --> 00:01:55,960
If you push, you'll see it's true.
Do it and see, all right?

42
00:01:56,039 --> 00:01:58,400
[Ibé] They're saying
the team has no cohesion.

43
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:04,040
We're really good individually,
but we aren't really playing together.

44
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,400
There's a lot of rivalry.

45
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,720
So, we need to come together quickly

46
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,120
if we're going to beat the other teams.

47
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,920
Because otherwise,
we know that our ranking will drop.

48
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,400

U17 COHESION WORKSHOP
HELD BY THE CLUB

65
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,800
[Mehdi] Let's go, Neel.

66
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,360
[groans]

67
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,760
Get up.

68
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,440
- Go away.
- [Mehdi] Come on, let's get going.

69
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,280
Up. Tomorrow I'm bringing
a water gun to wake you up.

70
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,800
[laughter]

71
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,640
[Ibé] The weather's really good
in Morocco.

72
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,200
We take a swim every morning

73
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,240
because the water is cold then.

74
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,360
That helps with recovery.

75
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,160
It's like vacation, but we know
we aren't just here for fun.

76
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:24,520
[Bakary] The goal of this workshop
is to unify the group.

77
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,120
I want them bonded really tight,
like a family.

78
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,920
The second half of the season is...
it's definitely the hardest,

79
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,680
and it's the most complicated.
It's a crucial time.

80
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,840
[Marouane] You've reached
the U17 nationals.

81
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,080
You should be able
to judge a situation for yourself.

82
00:04:41,159 --> 00:04:43,360
That means you understand
when it makes sense to keep the ball,

83
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,800
when you should pass,
and when you should strike, okay?

84
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,280
You're good players, guys!

85
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,960
You just need to connect
and the results will follow.

86
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,560
[Bakary] Guys, we're getting down
to business.

87
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,240
So now we prepare
for what comes next.

88
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,640
We're moving forward.

89
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,480
Sound good?

93
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,320
Let's go! Pick it up!

94
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,640
- Nice job, Lamine! Well done!
- Excellent.

95
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,000
[cheering]

96
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,560
[chanting]

97
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,720
[Bakary] I have my team back.
Movement, simplicity, and everything.

98
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,920
Working together, leaving their zones,
that's all I have to say.

99
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,960
If you play like that all the time,
we'll crush everyone.

100
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,200
And that's how we play. That's it.

101
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:48,560
We had lost it,
but today you've got it back.

102
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,040
Today, I enjoyed watching you play.

103
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:53,400
So let's keep it going.

104
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,480

105
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,640
[upbeat music fades]

106
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,160
[Anis] To get to see
the World Cup together is amazing.

107
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,640
They're the best in the world.
These players, they're my role models.

2022 WORLD CUP
FINAL FRANCE-ARGENTINA

109
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,400
Messi! Messi! Messi! Messi!

110
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,160
Bro, I'm not staying next to you!

111
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,040
[player laughs]

112
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:29,440
[in French] Go Messi!

113
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,000
[in English] Our team is 20 French people.

114
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,880
And only six or seven
are rooting for France.

115
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,480
I'll never understand it.

116
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,280
It's because Messi's never won
the World Cup.

117
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,880
So what? He's from Argentina,
we're French.

118
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,480
We could win two World Cups in a row.
We could win it all.

119
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,200
And be the best in the world.

120
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:48,280
And they just want Messi to have it.

121
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,200
I'm rooting for him.

122
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:53,280
Okay, then, I don't understand you.

123
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,840
[cheering]

124
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,800
Hey, Lloris, you've never stopped
a penalty kick in your life!

125
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,640
Even I could have stopped that one!

126
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,720
[cheering]

127
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,920
[journalist] And that's the end
of the first half of the final.

128
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,840
Argentina 2-0!

129
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,880
FRANCE-ARGENTINA
HALF TIME

130
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,400
[Isaac] Hey, Kéba, you good?

131
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,080
[Kéba] I'm fine, but it's freezing
cold here. Enjoy the sun.

132
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,200
- [Isaac] We will.
- [Kéba] Okay?

133
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,360
- [Neel] We will. We will for you.
- [Isaac] Don't worry.

134
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,840
You're missing out, Kéba.
It's hot. You can't even imagine.

135
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,600
[Kéba] Well, yeah.

136
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,320
- You're freezing over there.
- [Kéba] That's right.

137
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,520
- But here, it's nice.
- [Kéba] Yeah, I know.

138
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,040
And the game? Who do you want?
Who are you rooting for?

139
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,760
Are you rooting for France or Argentina?

140
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:47,440
[Kéba] Argentina.

141
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,000
- Tell me why?
- Of course he is.

142
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,680
[Kéba] If we win, it's not a question of
country. It's a question of honor. Why?

143
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,600
- [Isaac] Okay, who's your favorite?
- [Kéba] Argentina.

144
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,680
- [Isaac] Who's the best?
- [Kéba] Lionel's my guy, of course.

145
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,760
[laughter]

146
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,800
So there you go. So...

147
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,800
All right, man, all right, Kéba.
The game's starting again.

148
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,920
[ethereal music playing]

149
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,600
[Kéba] I couldn't go with the team
for the workshop in Morocco.

150
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,320
I don't have travel documents,
so, I'm not allowed to go.

151
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,680
If I had all the papers, and everything,
for sure, I'd be there with the team.

152
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,360
But that's life, things go on.

153
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,120
The hardest thing is staying here alone.

154
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,960
In Morocco, they're there
for the experience but also to train.

155
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:40,640
So I need to work, too.

156
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,000
That way,
I'll keep pace with their training.

157
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,480
[commentator chattering]

158
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:50,080
[Mathias] Hey, foul!

159
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,520
Penalty! Penalty!
That was a penalty! Penalty!

160
00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:58,880
[cheering]

161
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,960
[cheering]

162
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,680
[commentator in French]
Penalty kicks will decide the winner!

163
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:29,920
- I'm covering my ears!
- Ah!

164
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,440

[music stops]

167
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,720
[Mehdi] Phones. Lights out.

168
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,480
- Guys, your phones.
- Hang on, I'll call you back.

169
00:09:58,560 --> 00:09:59,560
Phones.

170
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,960
On airplane mode.

171
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:07,920
Five minutes.

00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,360
I'm in trouble? We're leaving tomorrow.

173
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,440
[chuckling]

174
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,360
[Isaac] It's crazy to do that.

175
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,840
I was talking, Mehdi. Damn it!

176
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,280
Mehdi!

177
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,240
[Mehdi] That's all the phones.

178
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:33,440
They had to put five defenders,
one, two...

179
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,720
Before Morocco, we didn't hang out
together. We were in cliques.

180
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,480
That's when I really got to know everyone.

181
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:43,760
What if you had to choose right now
between France and Morocco?

182
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,240
- Like guaranteed and solid contract...
- Morocco. Morocco.

183
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,640
...that's fair, I play the same position.

184
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,760
- [player 1] You play the same position.
- Morocco.

185
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,200
- [player 2] Morocco.
- [player 1] Why is that?

186
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,960
[Anis] France has too many stars.
You'd never get to play.

187
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,640
[player 1] No, let's say
that's not a problem.

188
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,240
- It is, though.
- [player 1] No, you're pro, you made it.

189
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,120
You could win the Africa Cup
for your country.

190
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,240
I'm French.
Culturally, I'm closer to Morocco.

191
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,040
I have Moroccan pride.

192
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,160
Culturally, so if I got signed
to play professionally,

193
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,240
I'd be more excited
to play for Morocco than France,

194
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:10,520
even though I love France.

195
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,120
When it's just us, we always talk
about whether we'd play

196
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,000
for French or for whatever country
our families are from.

197
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,520
If the French team called me,
then why not?

198
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,600
But if I go pro, I'd be more likely
to play for Morocco,

199
00:11:26,680 --> 00:11:28,080
or I think so.

200
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,960
[call to prayer over speaker]

201
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,400
SECOND FRIENDLY MATCH AGAINST
AGADIR'S LOCAL TEAM

202
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,400
- [chattering]
- [quiet dramatic music playing]

203
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,320
[Ibé] We played at six or seven.

204
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,240
The coaches took a later game that day

205
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,400
because it was really hot out.

206
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,320
[Marwan] It was a friendly match,

207
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,960
and we played against teams
that were older than us

208
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,080
to try to progress
by playing tough competition.

209
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,440
[whistle blows]

210
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,680
[Mathias] At the beginning of the game,
it was really intense.

211
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,040
[Bakary] Let's go!

212
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,480
We got a bit pushed around at first,
but then we got into the game.

213
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,800
[dramatic music swelling]

214
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,800
Way to go, Anis!

215
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,200
We had a good first half.

216
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,080
[Ibé] The second half of the game started,

217
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,200
and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

218
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,720
[Isaac] We were really nervous.

219
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,200
[Marwan] We weren't approaching the game
the same way that they were.

220
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,120
We weren't playing very aggressively

221
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,800
because it was just supposed
to be a friendly match.

222
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,600
There was friction between the players.

223
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,080
The other team
was being really aggressive.

224
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,560
It got heated fast.

225
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,120
- They didn't hesitate to play rough.
- [whistle blows]

226
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:54,520
The game started to escalate.
There were some major fouls.

227
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,960
[people shouting]

228
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,000
- [player] They're disrespectful.
- [Ibé] The ref wasn't calling anything.

229
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,160
[Mehdi] Bakary! Bakary! Bakary!

230
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,040
We were thinking if it continued
like that, someone would get hurt.

231
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,680
At one point, Neel had the ball
and a player came up behind him.

232
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,080
I was going downfield,
a guy grabbed me from behind.

233
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,480
He hit him. Deliberately.

234
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:17,120
[people shouting]

235
00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:24,000
If he has a problem,
we all have a problem.

236
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,440
It's like our hearts were connected.

237
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,200
He fouled Neel
and everyone ran onto the field.

238
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:35,040
We tried to calm things down, and it...
and it calmed down.

239
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,680
[whistle blowing]

240
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,960
- [player] No, no, it's the referee.
- Go on, shake their hands. Hurry up.

241
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,800
[ethereal music playing]

242
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:52,560
It was a blessing in disguise.

243
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,520
It showed our solidarity.

244
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,720
If something like that had happened
in the beginning of the season,

245
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,800
we wouldn't all
have gotten involved so quickly.

246
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,360
Ibé! Ibé!

247
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,800
Yeah boys, that's right!

248
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,600
[singing]

249
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:20,360

250
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,040

251
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,520

["La Vie de Rêve" stops]

254
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,360
What you have to do
is take the wire stripper

255
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,280
and start stripping the wire,
just off the ends, okay?

256
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,440
Strip it about one centimeter,
and no more than that.

257
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,040
Adjust the tool as needed.

258
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,240
[Kéba] I went back to school
in the middle of the year,

259
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,960
thanks to Ahmed and the club.

260
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,200
I hadn't been to school in five years.

261
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,840
Now, this...

262
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:32,720
Where does it go?

263
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,440
- [Kéba] They both go like this.
- [teacher] That's it.

264
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,280
[Kéba] It was hard for me at first.

265
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,080
The teacher gave us these exercises
that I really didn't understand at all.

266
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,640
I didn't understand anything.

267
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,840
I pretended I did, I just played along.

268
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,520
[contemplative music playing]

269
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,800
It's really nice
to be a member of a group.

270
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,600
It pushes me
and gives me a lot of strength.

271
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,960
- What's up? I'm all right.
- [Ahmed] How's it going? Oh, yeah?

272
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,600
You're smiling!

273
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,040
Yeah, it's good.

274
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,600
Because I got good news.

275
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,320
You've been looking pretty happy
the last few days, actually, right?

276
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:18,440
- Yeah.
- So what's the news?

277
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:19,560
Yeah, it went well.

278
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,840
- [Ahmed] You were at school today?
- Yeah, I was.

279
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:22,920
- Good.
- Yeah.

280
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,960
- [Ahmed] You're in student mode.
- It had been a while, but--

281
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,680
- You have a notebook?
- Yeah, I'm doing my... Oh, yeah.

00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,160
I can't write very well,
but it's slowly coming back.

283
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,720
[Ahmed] You're smart, you'll be fine.
Did you have French class today?

284
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,320
Today I just... Yeah, just French.

285
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,640
- With other minors or...?
- Yeah, I'm with others.

286
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,760
You're starting your new life now.
You'll have security, an apartment...

287
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,560
Mm-hm.

288
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,480
[Ahmed] Your prayers have been answered.

289
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,880
- Yes, thanks to God.
- [Ahmed] You just have to be patient.

290
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,760
Even my family is really happy.
It's really incredible.

292
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,960
[Ibé] In the first half of the season,

293
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,720
we won four games.

294
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,000
We lost a few, and tied a lot.

295
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,680
Now we're fourth in the rankings.

296
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,839
[quiet dramatic music playing]

297
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,560
We're feeling ready
for the second half of the season.

298
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,160
Now it's time to win it all.

299
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,079
[Mehdi] Work together. Don't pretend.

300
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,040
If you have to go flat out
for 60 minutes, that's what you do.

301
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,160
We have to win today.

302
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,960
Today's the most important game
of the season, okay, guys?

303
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,839
- Let's go.
- Got it. Let's go, let's go.

304

[dramatic melodic music playing]

306
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,400
[Mehdi] Go, Lamine! Go!

307
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,800
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

308
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,120
[Anis] As soon as the game started,

309
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,600
we could feel that the intensity
was on the next level. Yeah.

310
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,760
The plan was to get out there
and have fun, try to enjoy the game.

311
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,840
That's when we play best.

312
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,240
[Bakary] Let's go! Guys!

313
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:57,960
Go! Go!

00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,600
[applause]

315
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,520
Guys! Again! Again!
Again! Again! Push, guys, come on!

316
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,520
Let's go! Let's go!

317
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:08,800
[whistle blows]

318
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,360
[Anis] We got a penalty kick.

319
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,840
And Issam was the one who took the kick.

320
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,880
[cheering]

321
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,000
We were up one goal.

322
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,520
But then, Drancy countered.

323
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:29,840
[whistle blows]

324
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,280
[cheering]

325
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:37,680
[Ibé] That's nothing,
guys, that's nothing!

326
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:38,760
[whistle blows]

327
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,880
[light applause]

328
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,080
[dramatic melodic music stops]

329
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,240
[Bakary] Hey, we're playing the game
our way, that's excellent.

330
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,520
That's all I ask.

331
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:53,120
We're doing things the right way,

332
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,840
but in the second half, stay hot.

333
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,200
I need you to keep this same intensity
and the same pace.

334
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,760
Don't let up. Keep fighting.

335
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,840
We just come at them as a team.

336
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,880
- Let's go, let's go!
- Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

337
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,600
Keep it up, more drive! Keep it going.

338
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,880
[dramatic melodic music playing]

339
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,040
[Bakary] Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

340
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:19,520
- Again! Again!
- That's it, shoot!

341
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,280
We were saying, "Our guys can't
get to the ball and get back,

342
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:28,440
so I'll run in and get it."

343
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,120
[people cheering and applauding]

344
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,320
[dramatic melodic music stops]

345
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,080
There we go.

346
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,120
- [whistle blowing]
- [cheering and applause]

347
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,440
The win was a really good thing for us.

348
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,000
Because we hadn't won in a while,

349
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,200
and it was an intense, important match.

350
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,360
[players in French] We played! We played!

351
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,040
[Bakary in English] Great, great win.
Really great win, guys.

352
00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:20,520
[in French] We beat them! We beat them!

353
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,360
Isaac! Isaac!

354
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:24,760
He shot! He shot!

355
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,200
He scored! He scored!

356
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:27,760
Sidi! Sidi!

357
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,320
[laughing]

358
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,560
Oh, Montfermeil!

359
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,320
Shalala lala lala! Hey!

360
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,040
Oh, Montfermeil!

361
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,360
[players rapping in French]

362
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,960
[Kéba] The team has worked really hard.

363
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,840
They're closer,
and they play really well together.

364
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,720
I haven't played in a while.

365
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,360
I guess because the coach
doesn't trust me enough.

366
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,080
I mean, it's been hard.

367
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,680
[contemplative music playing]

368
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,240
[Bakary] Kéba...

369
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,600
Forward is a special position.
I was a forward.

370
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,560
It's in your head. It's mental.

371
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,280
When we're at practice,
he doesn't feel great.

372
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:28,080
He thinks way too much for his own good.
If there's doubt, it's over.

373
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,360
[Kéba] This season, I thought
I was going to score a lot of goals

374
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,200
and maybe get signed,
but that's not how it played out.

375
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,160
And the scouting event in October
didn't lead to anything.

376
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,600
[Bakary] Well played, excellent.

377
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,480
[Kéba] Before I went back to school,

378
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,120
I had so much more time.
I was even able to practice on my own.

379
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,560
But now, I have way less time
because of school.

380
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,360
I feel like soccer
left me behind this year.

381
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,120
[Mathias] I know Kéba is someone
from another country.

382
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,040
He's really a part of our group.

383
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:12,000
I know we don't necessarily
have the same resources.

384
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,400
We don't have
the same living conditions.

385
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,200
He's outstanding
at practice and on the field.

386
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,760
I think he's an example.

387
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:24,760
["Gasolina (Feat. Rsko)"

388
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,800
[school bell ringing]

389
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,000
[friend] If you put your mind to it,
you can do it.

390
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,160
[Mathias] Yeah, but you're not
going to have a yacht at 30.

391
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,000
Even if you play in League 2,
that means you're pro,

392
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,600
then, you earn 8,000 a month.

393
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,200
- You're not buying a yacht at 26.
- For sure.

394
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,600
8,000 euros gets you a...

395
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,680
rowboat.

396
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,040
[both chuckle]

397
00:22:57,120 --> 00:22:58,120
Not the big yacht.

398
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,280
[school bell ringing]

399
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:03,040
[teacher] That's called external growth.

400
00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:06,200
For example,
he starts a construction company.

401
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,440
What he does is...

402
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,480
[Mathias] Sometimes my mom tells me,
"Mathias, you need to focus on school."

403
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,840
The chances of going pro are low.

404
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,720
If you wanna play at the highest level,

405
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,560
you're so focused on that big goal,
it's easy to neglect the little ones.

406
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:27,160
For some aspiring players,
soccer is honestly a necessity

407
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,160
if they don't have other support.

408
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:32,760
I'm lucky my family
has everything they need.

409
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,800
So, there's less at stake for me.

410
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,560
Since I don't have to earn money
to support my family,

411
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,400
it doesn't mean I'm less driven
or I wanna give up my chance

412
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,920
at a future in soccer.

413
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,160

DAY 16/26

416
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,080
[Sigamary] I'm here for a few players.

417
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,160
Okay.

418
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,360
I may ask at least one of them
to play, if you think it's possible.

419
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,680
- Right, yeah, it's possible.
- At least one, maybe more.

420
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,600
- Okay.
- To play for Valenciennes.

421
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:09,960
- Okay, that's no problem.
- Okay?

422
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,080
- Okay, well then, have a good game.
- All right, thank you.

423
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,040
- I'll see you after the game.
- All right, see you later.

424
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:15,240
- See you.
- Okay.

425
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,320
[ethereal music continues]

426
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,800
Let's go, guys,
there's a sandwiches special.

427
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,360
Buy one, get one free!

428
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,600
[man] What, did you do comedy school?
You're pretty funny.

429
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,920
No, no, that's for hooligans like you.

430
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,800
Hey, I can play goalkeeper, you know?

431
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,320
[chuckles]

432
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,960
[Marwan's dad in French]
You want it toasted.

433
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,560
Ketchup, mayonnaise
and a touch of harissa.

434
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,240
Uh... Bread untoasted.

435
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,440
What's most interesting to me
about Montfermeil

436
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,320
is probably the way
their players tend to progress.

437
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,520
[Marwan's dad in French]
What was in? Ketchup? Mayo?

438
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,640
[Sigamary] Today,
I'm scouting for the best players

439
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,040
which Valenciennes
might wanna bring to the club.

440
00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:06,240
We're looking for a left winger,
right winger, and a forward.

441
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,520
The player I came to see, he handles
the ball really well, very skilled.

442
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,920
[quiet dramatic music playing]

443
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,600
I was already interested,
so I'd come to see him play once before.

444
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,040
[Bakary] 6, Sofiane.

445
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:24,400
10, Lamine. 9, Sidi.

446
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,800
11, Isaac. 7, Anis.

447
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,000
- Good for everyone? Let's go. Let's go!
- Let's go! Let's go!

448
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,120
Get the equipment, guys. Do it.

449
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,680
[whistle blows]

450
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,480
All right, let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

451
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,640
[dramatic melodic music playing]

452
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,360
Go to the center!

453
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,240
[Mehdi] Hey, there's no card!

454
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,840
Come on!

455
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,280
[cheering and applause]

456
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,920
[player] Line it up!
Line it up! Line it up!

457
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,560
[cheering and applause]

458
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,800
[Sigamary] What's sometimes nice about
a matchup like this in U17 nationals,

459
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,560
you can already see
who has the right attitude,

460
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,080
so you can see who's cut out
for training center

461
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,920
and their potential to go pro,

462
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,800
who has the maturity,
the mindset, and the right mentality

463
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,880
for a professional soccer career.

464
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,040
What's important
when observing a match,

465
00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:00,280
and the specific player I'm looking at,

466
00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:03,800
is how he move with the game but also
he moves when he doesn't have it.

467
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,320
And it's, uh...
I think it's really interesting,

468
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,040
because you see certain behaviors
when he's playing defensive,

469
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:10,880
when he's on offensive,

470
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,280
and also his leadership, a lot of factors.

471
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,320
[Isaac] When there are clubs
watching you, it's stressful.

472
00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:21,320
You're nervous about playing badly
or messing up a pass.

473
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,960
It's a lot of pressure. But you have
to turn it into good pressure.

474
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:31,560
[Anis] You have to stand out
from the others

475
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,120
and do what you can
to show that you're better.

476
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,600
It's hard to show off your skill because

477
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,800
you want to stand out,
but you also have to play as a team.

478
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,320
[player 1] Come on, are you ready?

479
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,240
[shouting]

480
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,880
[player 2] Back in position! Get back!

481
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,280
[player 3] Nice! Yeah!

482
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:05,320
[cheering and applause]

483
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,880
[whistle blowing]

484
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,000
[Isaac] The score was 2-2. We tied.

485
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,840
I think I played a good game.

486
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,280
[Sigamary] I was pretty happy.

487
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,040
Today, I would, um, like to ask
the player to play for us,

488
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:29,000
and I've spoken about it with the coach.

489
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,480
[dramatic music playing]

490
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,360
During the game,
he created opportunities, and he...

491
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,560
he has great footwork,
he was solid on offense.

492
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,600
Honestly, it was interesting.

493
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,560
In terms of the defense, there's...

494
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,920
I think there's, uh, room
for some improvement, for sure.

495
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,880
But otherwise, he confirmed
what I saw the first time.

496
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,440
And what Bakary told me.

497
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,160
From the very start of the game,
it was insanely intense.

498
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,040
[coach] We'll start with Isaac.
Lots of skill, an impactful player,

499
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,920
but doesn't connect well
with his teammates.

500
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,480
[Isaac] I know my worth,
and so I'm not scared.

501
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,680
The world of soccer
considers many, but selects few.

502
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,560
- [Bakary] What happened?
- I swear, it's crazy.

503
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,160
- My emotions get the better of me.
- Your emotions beat you.

504
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,480
[Neel] It shattered my dreams.

505
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,440
It shattered my dreams.

506
