He shared with us his experience learning English and playing football at the Manchester City Academy:
All the trainings were in Manchester City’s facilities. I liked that a lot because that’s how I felt like a professional player. It also made me often think that the Man City players are in these facilities.
In football training sessions we worked on football skills and techniques like those practiced by professional players like my favorite Kevin de Bruyne. In English classes we worked on various projects related to football. We pretended as if we were professional players who did interviews, analyzed football matches and built our own teams. Everything was perfect!
