00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,120
[Bakary] The goal of this workshop
is to unify the group.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,680
I want them to bond like a family.

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,520
[Sigamary] We're looking
for a winger and a forward.

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,120
You can already see
who has the potential to go pro.

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,960
When there are clubs watching you,
it's stressful.

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,440
[Bakary] Some players are going to sign
with pro clubs this year.

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,920
[Mehdi] We have to win today. Today's the
most important game of the season.

9
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:26,520
[Ibé] Our instinct spoke for itself.

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:27,760
Now it's time to win it all.

00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,760
[Isaac] It's a dream come true,

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,200
being at this training center.

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,320
It's great to be invited to try out.

- Hello.
- Hello, welcome.

20
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,000
- Hello.
- Hi.

21
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,039
Isaac, thank you for coming.

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,680
Thank you.

23
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,120
What I always tell players
who come to try out... relax.

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,440
Do what you already know how to do.

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,160
You're here because we saw your potential.
Just enjoy yourself.

26
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:22,039
- [Isaac] Okay.
- That's the important thing.

27
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,360
- Let's go.
- Yeah.

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:27,840
[Jonas] Here you go.

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,160
-You'll be in the Arthur Masuaku room.
- [Isaac] Okay.

30
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:33,360
Go ahead. You can put your things here.

31
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,840
- Okay.
- So you're set.

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,080
Your bed's up here.

00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,479
Free time until 10 p.m.,
then everyone in their rooms.

34
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,080
At night, we take away players' phones.

35
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,200
Is that understood?
Just to be sure we're getting good sleep.

36
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,560
Okay? Get comfortable.

38
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:55,240
[Isaac] I'm just thinking about tomorrow.

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,000
I have to give it my all.

40
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,080
I know my value, so I'm not scared.

41
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,760
I just got to go out there,
and do what I have to do.

42
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,480
And then I guess we'll see what happens.

EPISODE 4
TRIAL PERIOD

55
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,360
[Simon] So, the way
this session is planned,

56
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,880
there are two workshops
and we switch.

57
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,960
One technical workshop with the coach,
game workshop with me,

58
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,400
and we finish
with situational soccer, okay?

59
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,440
I'll give you the groups.
Everyone who's here is with me.

60
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,440
- Okay? Sound good? All right, let's go.
- [Jonas] Grab a bib, guys.

61
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,120
[Simon] Today, we have
several players trying out.

62
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,800
Little Isaac caught my eye,
he has my attention.

63
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,480
So we arranged with the recruiters
to watch him, review him, assess him.

64
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,079
Our recruitment philosophy
is based on the values

65
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,079
we have laid out
and made clear to the young men.

66
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,240
We want players with courage
and a willingness to self-sacrifice.

67
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,080
We need players
who will give it their all.

68
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,000
We're also focused
on the creative aspect,

69
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,280
and you don't find many players like that,
but Isaac has a lot of potential,

70
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,440
and it seems like he might fit the bill.

71
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,720
I hope he continues to improve his skills
throughout the workshop.

72
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,200
Goalies, get in place,
it's up to you to set the pace.

73
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,760
Okay, go. Yes! Great.

74
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,880
Nice. Good, great, Isaac.
In one, if you can. Yes, that's it.

75
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,720
Start again, that's okay.
Let's do it right.

76
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,680
I put myself in their shoes
because I've been in their situation.

77
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:32,920
I'm also from Greater Paris,
Aulnay-sous-Bois in the 93.

78
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:35,960
[Simon] Keep it up! Keep it up!

79
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,920
I started playing professionally
when I was 17.

80
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:43,280
I understand the pressure
they're under, and I...

81
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,120
I know from personal experience
how I cope with the situation.

82
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:48,880
It was by really enjoying myself

83
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,720
and I try to play
like I would with friends.

84
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,200
I just kept my mind on that
and ignored everything else.

85
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,520
From here, you have to pass it back
because the goal is over there.

86
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,880
But if you turn this way
when you're playing with your left,

87
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,320
you see, you can either
pass back and go,

88
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,480
or keep it
if the defender isn't too close.

89
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,960
Then, you're off, you go in.

90
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,160
You've got two choices
instead of one.

91
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,120
Now, when you're coming inside, then
you're turned three-quarters like this.

92
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:14,520
Guys, you're missing a player here.

93
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,080
Look, look how you take possession,
your first touch.

94
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,680
[Simon] Remember to defend,
remember to defend, Isaac!

95
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,440
[Isaac] At that point,
I was playing normal.

96
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,120
I had to do better because there was
a lot more at stake here,

97
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:29,080
because it wasn't Montfermeil
but a pro club.

98
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,840
- [whistle blows]
- Yellow team, put the goal away for me.

99
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:39,560
DAY 16/26

100
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,280
[dramatic melodic music playing]

101
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,800
When Isaac's on the field,
he's, honestly, a huge asset.

102
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,080
He brings a lot.

103
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,920
But since he's away on his trial,
I have to adapt.

104
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,040
I have to put another player in his place.

105
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,760
[Anis] Before the game,
we had the mindset that we really,

106
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,600
really had to win this one.

107
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,120
It was a showdown
of two teams from the 93,

108
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:04,760
so we had to show that we were
the best team in Greater Paris.

109
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,000
[Bakary] Let's go guys, it's go time.

110
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,480
[player] Let's not give them a chance,
guys. Come on, let's crush them.

111
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,600
We've gotta win this.

112
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,160
[whistle blows]

113
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,440
Well played, Neel!

114
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,600
Get in position!
Get in position! Get in place!

115
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:23,800
[whistle blows]

116
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,120
Ref! Referee! First one,
ref, that was the first one!

117
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:30,360
[crowd booing]

118
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,800
That's a volleyball!

119
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,840
[Anis] From the start of the game,
it was just, um,

120
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,280
insanely intense.

121
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,480
[people shouting]

122
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,200
[Mehdi] Don't let up!

123
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,840
The game against Aubervilliers
was electric.

124
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,680
At one point, I got a header
and tried to score,

125
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:07,960
and defender kicked it out.

126
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,480
But the referee, he called it
in favor of Aubervilliers.

127
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,120
- [whistle blows]
- [Mathias] Neel got mad on the field.

128
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,680
And that was it.

129
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:16,880
Yeah, what happened, happened.

130
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,720
[crowd booing]

131
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,680
In the 88th minute,
the ref gave me a red card,

132
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,120
so I had to go back to the locker room.

133
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,240
[Bakary] Why did he get a red?

134
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,320
Because the Aubervilliers guy
came at Neel and Neel responded.

135
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,200
- [Bakary] What?
- That's it, it's crazy.

136
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,320
[Bakary] Get back in position.

137
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,040
My assistant said
your player insulted him.

138
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,800
- That's impossible. Why would he do that?
- Why would he insult him?

139
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,360
Right, exactly. The ball went out
of bounds, why insult him?

140
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,480
For the call he made on the play,
that's what he said.

141
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,280
He made the call,
your player said, "Fuck you."

142
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,760
- No, no.
- Okay, but you understand my decision.

143
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,200
Yeah. Yeah, I do, but he didn't curse
at the ref. He would he do that.

144
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,360
In that case, I don't know,
you need to talk to your player.

145
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,440
All I know is my assistant
told me he cursed at him.

146
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,920
That's impossible. Honestly...

147
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,920
- Whether it's impossible or not...
- It really is.

148
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,400
...I need to make a decision and it
doesn't matter what you think is possible.

149
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,160
I have to go off the facts
from my assistant.

150
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,160
- Okay, that's fine. Okay.
- Okay?

151
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,880
[whistle blowing]

152
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,480
[Bakary] Let's go, go on, locker room.

153
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,159
Guys, we're taking this
as a loss, it's a loss.

154
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,480
It's a loss. We had opportunities.

155
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,760
You can blame the referee
or whoever else you want,

156
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:41,799
but it's not the ref, it's the players.

157
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,960
Our players blew four shots on goal.

158
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:45,840
We got what we deserved.

159
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,200
- Ref?
- Yes.

160
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,440
- Could I please speak with you?
- Course.

161
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,040
I wanted to apologize. I know I said that,
but it wasn't toward you.

162
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,920
It's just that I was already...
I was already angry, and then--

163
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,840
But you understand how it looks
when my colleague calls out of bounds,

164
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
- and he hears "Fuck you."
- Yeah, but it wasn't--

165
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,840
Whether it's directed at him or not,
you understand why he'd think so.

166
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,440
I just don't want this to ruin my season.

167
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,200
- I know not to talk to referees.
- We hear you.

168
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,760
The other times it happened, I didn't say
anything. But it wasn't against you.

169
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,360
I just... I don't want this to...

170
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,040
But you also have to control yourself,

171
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,120
- whether it's at a referee or not.
- I know, but it happens.

172
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,440
You can't yell "fuck you" like that.

173
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,560
Right, and I promise that I...
I'm sure I learned a lesson for next time.

174
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,160
- Glad to hear you say that. It's good.
- I really did.

175
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,320
I wanted to apologize.
I don't want my season...

176
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,560
You'll sit out, then pretty soon,
you'll come back.

177
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,400
- Soon, right? Two or three games?
- See? Not up to me.

178
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:55,680
- So who decides this kind of thing?
- The commission.

179
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,080
I hope they won't be too harsh.

180
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,520
If they are, I'll quit soccer.

181
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:00,640
- No, no.
- I will. I will.

182
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,840
- If it's the end of the season.
- You're 16, there's time.

183
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,200
We'll see. I'll play indoor.

184
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,200
[chuckling]

185
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,720
[Neel] Have a good day.

186
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,440
What's the code again, Franck?

187
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,640
[contemplative music playing]

188
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,840
They'll punish you.
We'll wait and find out soon.

189
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,800
Yeah, when you insult the ref,
eight and twelve games.

190
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,920
[contemplative music playing]

191
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,840
Then season's over.

192
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,760
The ref submitted his report.

193
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,960
Right after the game, Bakary told me
that I could be out eight to twelve games.

194
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,800
That's most of the season.

195
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,640
I was already thinking about quitting
and doing something else.

196
00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:50,560
Twelve games.

197
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,440
No, it's eight, it's eight, it's eight.

198
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,240
It shattered my dreams.

199
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,920
Yeah, it shattered my dreams.

200
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,840
[contemplative music fades]

201
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,760
It was a tie, 0-0.

202
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,600
Late in the game, the referee
came down hard on us.

203
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,360
His calls weren't going in our favor.

204
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,280
At one point,
he said I hadn't been fouled,

205
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,000
even though everyone could see
I obviously had, he didn't call it.

206
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,520
So yeah, I cursed at him.

207
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:43,080
The words just came out,
he gave me a red card.

208
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,520
Then I left the field.

209
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,120
[mom] And why did you curse at him?

210
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,680
No, it's... My emotions,
they got the best of me.

211
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,960
I was really mad. He...

212
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,200
He had... ruined our game,
I didn't like that.

213
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,440
[mom] You have to control
your feelings, okay?

214
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,920
Your emotions beat you.

215
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,960
Manners are...

216
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,680
- [brother] They're important.
- [mom] It's the golden rule.

217
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,320
That wasn't very nice.

218
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,640
[mom] Who do you mean?
Your brother or the ref?

219
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,120
I mean... Neel. He was wrong.

220
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,040
- I'm going to smack you!
- [playful squealing]

221
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,600
[mom] In any case,
you don't insult the people in charge.

222
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,760
You made a spectacle of yourself.
Was everyone watching?

223
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,720
[brother] At least a thousand people.

224
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,280
And if you could do it over?

225
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,160
[Neel] No, I wouldn't do it again.
I wouldn't talk to them.

226
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,520
- Hm?
- I won't talk to them.

227
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:33,080
- To whom?
- [Neel] The referees.

228
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,000
- Why were you talking to them anyway?
- [Neel] I won't even say "hi" to them.

229
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,200
If you stop saying "hi",
it's the same thing.

230
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,320
- [Neel] No, I can't.
- You need to be respectful and polite.

231
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,520
[Neel] No, he traumatized me.

232
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,600
You're the one who traumatized him.
You, you insulted him.

233
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,480
Your coach managed to hold back,
but you couldn't do that.

234
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,440
- Did you apologize to him afterwards?
- [Neel] Yes.

235
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,160
The next week, they said
that I had to sit out for four games.

236
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,960
That's what the commission said.

237
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,600
Which means I have to miss about
two months of what's left of the season.

238
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,960
Stopping for two months
and then starting again is hard.

239
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,960
[moody dramatic music playing]

240
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,320
I'm sorry, honey,
but make it a lesson for next time.

241
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,080
[chuckling]

242
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,760
Mmm, poor Neel. Mm.

243
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,520
[music stops]

244
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,080
[chattering]

245
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,480
[player] I don't know.
He told me they were in yellow.

246
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,680
[Loïc] Hey, how are you? Good?

247
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,480
You good? What's up?

248
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,320
Okay, guys, before we get started,

249
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,520
For today's session, we'll play a game.

250
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,240
Isaac, Shawn, Khalifa...

251
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,080
These are three trial players.

252
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,200
First of all, welcome.
No injuries or anything?

253
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,320
- [player] No.
- We can keep going? Great.

254
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,880
Alright, let's get started.

255
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,760
[tense music playing]

256
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,320
[Isaac] The day of the game,
I was nervous.

257
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,920
There were three of us trying out.

258
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,840
So, yeah, I knew I had to prove myself.

259
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,760
[Sigamary] This game
will decide his future.

260
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,120
Everything is in his hands.

261
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,600
If he plays well right now, there's a good
chance he'll make the team.

262
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,440
- [whistle blows]
- [moody melodic music playing]

263
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,600
[Isaac] The problem
is that I'm playing injured.

264
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,080
Recently, I had a problem
with my ankle. It hurt a little.

265
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,000
But I thought it was worth it
to try to play anyway.

266
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,520
I played, but I didn't play very well.

267
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,320
I pushed too hard.

268
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:53,560
[whistle blows]

269
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,480
[whistle blows]

270
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,360
And in the second half, I was hurting.

271
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,680
I couldn't play at all.

272
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,200
I wasn't able to focus,
and I could barely touch the ball.

273
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,280
My heart wasn't in it, and I had no drive.

274
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,520
Even though I really wanted
to be there at the training center.

275
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:30,720
[Sigamary] How are you?

276
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,000
How'd it go? What's up?

277
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,640
[Isaac] I was in pain.

278
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,480
Here you go, so you don't get cold.

279
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,080
[moody melodic music continues]

280
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,240
[Simon] So now assessing the three trial
players. We can start with Isaac.

281
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,360
As usual, we'll go around the table

282
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,640
to talk about everything
we've seen this week.

283
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:11,920
Pierre?

284
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,600
He has great one-on-one skills,
to second what Lolo said.

285
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,240
Good on impact. Good dribbler.

286
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,040
He may be lacking
a bit of thinking in his game.

287
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,040
Like knowing when he should pass,
when he should shoot.

288
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,560
And his defense needs work as well,
so there's still a lot of work to be done.

289
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,200
Jonas, anything to add?

290
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,160
I found his abilities in two-on-one
somewhat limited.

291
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,360
He's a player with a lot of skill
right off the bench,

292
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,760
and a lot of individual initiative,

293
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,480
but he seemed to have some difficulty
connecting with his teammates.

294
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,080
He's skilled at elimination.

295
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,200
One-on-one is his domain.
That's his superpower.

296
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,880
But there's still room
for improvement in his...

297
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,440
in his work on defense
and also his teamwork.

298
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,040
He seems a little withdrawn when he...

299
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,400
when he doesn't personally have the ball

300
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,920
or when his team is on defense.

301
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,760
Those are definite areas
for improvement, but...

302
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,240
but his other skills are really notable
and honestly impressive. Yeah.

303
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,640
Whether that's enough
to sign him, I don't know.

304
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,800
Could be. What do you think, Simon?

305
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,520
[Simon] I completely agree with you.

306
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,359
Over the three days,
I think what we saw

307
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,960
was consistent
with what we saw at the match.

308
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,800
Now, the biggest thing I'm missing
is more consistency.

309
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,400
As for his mindset, he seems to be
personable and cooperative.

310
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,520
But there are some
potentially major issues,

311
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,560
and that's really what's still, um...

312
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,640
makes me uncertain, that's all.

313
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,680
["Ya R" by I.K (TLF) playing]

314
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,720
[Isaac] I knew it was over.
No doubt in my mind.

315
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,880
Right now, I just need to move forward,

316
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,200
focus on the present,

317
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:01,480
and hope that I get noticed
by another club.

318
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,240
["Ya R" fades]

319
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:29,600
[knocking]

320
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,920
- Hello. How are you?
-Kéba! Good.

321
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,000
Great.

322
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,080
Go ahead, have a seat. Okay.

323
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,520
- So--
- How are you doing?

324
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:41,600
Good.

325
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,480
So, Kéba, let's take a look at, um...

326
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:49,880
at how things have been going
since you got here.

327
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,440
First of all, how are things
generally going in class?

328
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,720
- Honestly, it's going well with everyone.
- Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

329
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,720
- Everyone is great. They're really--
- The students made you feel welcome?

330
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,880
- Yeah, welcome, for sure.
- Good. They're nice, huh?

331
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:03,960
Really nice.

332
00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:06,720
So, what about the, uh,
you're electrical training?

333
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,840
Do you like it? Not like it?

334
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,600
Do you think you'd rather
do something else?

335
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,800
What can... What can you tell me?

336
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,120
- Honestly, I really like it a lot.
- Yeah? That's good.

337
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,880
- I thought it was going to be harder.
- Is that right?

338
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,320
It actually isn't complicated. Just the
way they explain it in the classroom.

339
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,280
Okay. I've had that impression
that it was going well.

340
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,200
What do you want to do
when you finish?

341
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:35,200
Do you think you want to go into soccer
or pursue being an electrician?

342
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:36,640
Is that the back-up plan?

343
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,960
Yeah, it's a back-up plan.

344
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:43,360
Good. Look, in my experience,
it's always smart to have a Plan B.

345
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,200
Right. I mean, if... if I...

346
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,320
If I can manage the time,

347
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,080
and it works out so I'm able to do both,

348
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,280
- I'd like to do both at once.
- Okay.

349
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,280
I'm still a bit split on that,
because with soccer,

350
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,760
well, you're not the only one
with that in mind.

351
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:03,960
I mean, they consider
a lot of people, but they select very few.

352
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:06,440
And also, it was a good idea
to choose electricity

353
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,840
because there will always be work.

354
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:13,280
So, that's, um... that's good!

355
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,680
- That's good.
- Sounds good.

356
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,400
[moody contemplative music playing]

357
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,200
[Bakary] You're three goals from winning.

358
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,520
That's it.

359
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,680
The ball is not far from the goal.

360
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,120
I think we have players
who will get signed this year.

361
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,880
You have to tell them it's possible.

362
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,840
I think if they get signed
with a pro team,

363
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,160
it'll be like "boom," they'll blow up.

364
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,240
I think something's wrong there.

365
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,280
But wait, we're going to stop here.

366
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,120
Let's stop here.

367
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,400
Turn on the lights, please.

368
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,000
No, wait, listen up.

369
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,960
Okay, let's go,
guys, let's talk about the game.

370
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:08,120
We're tied.

371
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,680
And what happens when we're tied?
We're bad. We're bad, we second guess.

372
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,840
Because we're not advancing.

373
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,880
Injuries, suspensions, I get it.

374
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,080
But, guys, we're a good group
in several ways.

375
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,400
Whether offensively,
defensively, or midfield.

376
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,040
Every position is threefold.

377
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,200
That means I could put any player there,
and they can contribute

378
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:29,960
as much as anyone else.

379
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,200
Every practice we have, it's always great.

380
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:36,520
The first half of every game,
it's always just horrible.

381
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,040
That's our pattern.
Then, the second half's better.

382
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,760
If you want to win games,
two perfect halves, perfect.

383
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,160
Who's our best offensive weapon?
Who do you think?

384
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Right, let's be honest, it's Isaac.
He's comfortable with the technique.

385
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,920
He sucks in front of the goal,
you know it's true.

386
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,320
[players laughing]

387
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,920
I'm telling the truth.

388
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,880
We'll work on that, you get me?

389
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:56,960
Go ahead.

390
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,440
Mathias, go ahead.

391
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:02,800
Dude, my back hurts.

392
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,160
Hey, Anis, your game was awful.
Nah, I'm kidding.

393
00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:09,120
You got an invitation, from a club. Okay?

394
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,760
- I'll send the e-mail to your dad.
- Okay.

395
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,480
Okay. And the club is...
Wait, do you know or not?

396
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,960
- I think it's Guingamp.
- Hang on, I'll tell you.

397
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:21,800
[quiet ethereal music playing]

398
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,440
Uh, no, it's Clermont. Congratulations.

399
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,320
I'll send all of this to your dad.
And that's it. Sound good?

400
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,600
I thought it was great.
I was so excited for Clermont.

401
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,480
Honestly, any club that offers me
either League 1 or League 2,

402
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:35,960
I'm in.

403
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:37,960
Yeah, honestly, any club.

404
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:40,960
As long as I get signed
and I get to play there, yeah.

405
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:43,160
- I think we found your spot.
- Huh?

406
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:44,560
- What do you think?
- I think so.

407
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:45,640
Number 10?

408
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,640
[quiet ethereal music fades]

409
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,400
I'm putting your charger in your bag.

410
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,120
[dad] Put his charger inside.

411
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:23,920
- [mom] What?
- His charger.

412
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,560
Maybe some water, right?

413
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,520
Anis is going to Clermont-Ferrand
from Monday to Wednesday.

414
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,200
It'll be his first time traveling alone.

415
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,000
It's far away,
so that makes us a little nervous.

416
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,800
But we trust him. It should be alright.

417
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,360
I put your shoes in a bag.

418
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,040
Do you want to take
your small bag or not so much?

419
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,320
- [Anis] Um...
- At least as a place to keep your tickets

420
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,320
- and your money.
- [Anis] Okay.

421
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,480
I know it's his dream to do this.

422
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,480
But we want to make sure
his dreams comes true.

423
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,240
We didn't do much, we weren't the ones
who contacted the clubs,

424
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,640
but since he's supposed
to be at school when he's gone,

425
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,440
we're working with the school
to make sure he'll be able to catch up

426
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,040
on everything he misses.

427
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:22,680
Are you putting that in my bag?

428
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,600
[Adeline] Do you want to keep this
in your smaller bag?

429
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,920
But I don't really think
there's anything to worry about.

430
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,360
[moody ethereal music playing]

431
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,680
- You'll call me? You'll call?
- Yeah.

432
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,880
- All right.
- Call me when you get there.

433
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,280
I'll give your telephone number
to the guy, okay?

434
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,520
[Anis] Okay.

435
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:43,920
Go ahead.

436
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,280
If I get signed this year,

437
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,800
it will definitely
have an impact on my family.

438
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,720
Clermont isn't nearby, it's, uh...

439
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,200
pretty far from Paris, from where I live.

440
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,880
Even though I'm pretty independent,
it'll still be weird,

441
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,000
because my mom has always stood by me,

442
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,040
and even my dad,
especially when it comes to soccer,

443
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,800
because he won't be able to come
to my games and practices like before.

444
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,560
It'll definitely
have an impact on my family.

445
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,960
If the Clermont offered me a contract,

446
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:28,280
if they invited me to join the team, or
something like that, I'd be happy, because

447
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,520
it's a League 1 club,

448
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,760
it's a good club.

449
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,760
But it's up to me

450
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,400
to play my game,
and to show them who I am.

451
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,120
[moody ethereal music continues]

452
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,840
[Bakary] I won't forget them,
that's for sure.

453
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,600
They hold all the cards.
Now it's up to them.

454
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,920
I got another chance.
So I'm feeling the pressure.

455
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,240
[dramatic music playing]

456
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,400
It was embarrassing.

457
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,600
I didn't really understand.
It was a blow to my ego.

458
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,480
[Kéba] I've been waiting
for this moment since I was a kid.

459
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,560
In just a few days,
my whole life could change.

460
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,640
[moody dramatic music playing]

461
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,680
[moody dramatic music fades]

461
00:27:20,305 --> 00:28:20,554
