00:00My name is Moussa Dembele. This is my story.
00:20It was good. I started playing football with my brother at the age of four.
00:25We were playing on the street with friends.
00:27They were a small club in my hometown and I started to train with them.
00:40I've done football on the street, so for me it's a pleasure to be where I am today.
00:45I started playing for the team called Louis Sergi.
00:48It was my hometown team and it was good to play with them.
00:52First and foremost, when me and my brother wanted to join this team, they didn't want me.
00:58Because they said there are too many players to take care of and stuff.
01:04And my brother insisted and said just give him one training session.
01:08And I trained with them. I was five at the age at the time.
01:12No, six. Five or six at the time.
01:14And I had one training session with them.
01:16And since then, they just took me and I played there two years.
01:20And afterwards, everyone knows.
01:22Yeah, when I signed with PSG was a big change.
01:29A big change for me because, you know, in a professional team.
01:32And then you see everyone is wearing the same kids.
01:35And, you know, you go away in tournaments and play against other professional teams.
01:40And, you know, it was a massive change for me.
01:42But, you know, I enjoyed it and it was a good period of my young career, I would say.
01:48Move to Fulham was a tough decision to take for me, I think.
01:53You know, as a young man and a young player and a young person as well.
01:56You know, it's hard to go away from your friends and your family, you know, to work.
02:01But, you know, for me, it was a thing to do, you know.
02:05To go away from your family and friends, you know, to try to achieve your dreams.
02:10And, yeah, at the beginning, you know, it was tough.
02:13Because, you know, you come to a country where you've never been
02:15and you see people that, you know, you don't see them often.
02:19And they speak a different language and stuff.
02:21But, you know, I quickly get onto it and I start to learn the language very quick.
02:26And, yeah, I had a good time there.
02:29My move to Celtic, you know, was a year ago.
02:36It's been good so far, you know.
02:38We've achieved a lot, I think.
02:40You know, we've played Champions League and we've won the derby.
02:45And, obviously, we've won the league and the two clubs.
02:49I think it was a great season for me last year, you know.
02:53I was top scorer and in a team who were very good players.
02:57And, obviously, like, I start to play Champions League and, you know, I experience it
03:02and I see what I have to do to be up there and compete with the best.
03:06And I think the move to Celtic for me has been just great, you know.
03:11And I think there's many, many more good seasons like this to come to me.
03:14I want to be one of the best strikers in the world.
03:16I don't want to be, like, one striker to be compared with another one.
03:19I just want to be me and make a name for myself and be the best.
03:25Simple.
03:44Like, I'm the best.
03:45I'm the best.
03:58I'm the best.
03:59I'm the best.
04:00I'm the best, let's go.
04:02I know.
04:03I think it's a great team.
04:05I know.
04:06I know.
04:07I know, I'm.
04:08I know.
04:09I know, I know.
04:11I know.
