i think the biggest role is to now have a look at the team as if they're having a bad day and you know, raising the standards and helping them. and as a manager is seeing the bigger picture, you has to have absolutely believe in what you do. and it's like, you know, that the world can be seen in different ways. but for a period of time, all you see where you believe in it, and you're working with a lot of young players and there's a lot of focus on them. for example, in the u. k. in england, we saw in the euro, off the final it was very unfair, the way that many of those plaza treated. what do you think is important to instill into the young men that you're working with? you know, there's so much to do with the success, money, power influence and the visibility they have. yeah. i mean, i think even in very different kind of problems, one is social aspect of, you know, racism and abuse and social media and whatever comes with it. and on the other side, you've got what plays have to do themselves, the responsibility they have and how they have to conduct them. so i think in the end, you have to almost create this bubble too, as you work well, you know, you're going to have all these external forces that are going to put pressure on everything you do with your life. but you still need to protect your football and you still need to be yourself and to find a balance. and we've spoken specifically about football, but i'm interested to hear a bit more about the work the do of the pitch as well. what is it that you've been engaged in that you feel like very passionately about and that you care about? i don't, i think most of what i've done off the beach. i started when i was a player. so i feel passionate about, you know, be expressive, which is a charitable organization around sports football in brussels. 1200 kids. i'm proud about that, that we influence every week, every day. you know, there's a homeless issue in, in great manchester and, you know, in england i'm probably in so many other countries and, you know, i try to can to contribute that. and children's religious, which is an organization based around, you know, kids who, who's both parents and you know, i've done projects for them in congo in africa. i don't deserve any honest meadows for it, but it is something that can keep me awake at night. it's about using the platform as well, and that's why i ask you, you know, so that there's an opportunity to put a lie on the issue. and if i, if i can add to this, i think the most important thing is you know, given access to opportunities, education and i really strongly believe in the and a come from brussels. so one day it's mentioned for terrorism one, the other day. it's mentioned for being a drug capsule of europe and, and actually some so much more it's, it's one of the biggest talent pools of europe. you need the opportunities and opportunities don't come that just because you say, hey, by the way, we're going to open up, you know, football club. so we're going to open up schools. it's structural. it's how you affect leadership, how you affect them. anything to do with, you know, decision making in society and to be at these tables interview. so you engage me on something that can go much further, but that's for me. crucial. can't talk about anybody else without having those people at the table who wants to help you. so the same problems as they need to sort of, you know, so and primarily neither education opportunities is what you feel that it's opening the door up and sheds, you know, power in terms of you can see me and you were the face of these interview. but what's important for an organization why society is going is, who's making decision in the boardrooms. most of it starts in a pyramid, whether it's a pyramid weaving governments within corporations, within industry is representation is right that the rest will follow. mean, if i know that there's a guy there, and when there's a discussion about racism, sometimes you know, a simple thing that could be someone will shout something really stupid, whatever the color of the skin. you know, i think when this representation at the very top, it takes it a few notches down, like okay, it's going to get out of it and people not going to get away with it. if they're trying just shove it under the copper. i feel like style about this stuff. it doesn't bring me to the next question, which is about your parents. do you feel like they helped instill those things that you're talking about, that kind of caring about equal opportunities and opening that door up? or did it come from somewhere else? my mother she forced as you pass away. it was a long time ago, but my mother was a type of person that would get angry at me for earning a lot of money at 6. then don't worry if it comes to me, it's better than other people's hands. but my dad is just been someone i had to fight his way all the way from congress political refugee that became the 1st black mayor in belgium. so we do have a little bit of an activist family, but you know, it's a different generation, different time of them, call myself an activity, but we have opinions. we try and see if we can help where we can and, and that lives in the family. and when you think about football, a lot of it links back to community and identity and that could be around a club. it could be around a region, it could be around the nationality. and i wanted to know the you how much do you think you are different identity to different sets you worn heavily influence the priorities that you've kind of expressed. i mean, there's a good thing for this, so you're a product of your environment and, and it really is, i mean, but you gotta understand process as you grow up and get on one side of the street, someone speaking dutch, and on the other side of the street, someone speaking friends, us and then you've got a rabbit. ling, whatever language you on spanish, italian is so diverse. so when, when you grew up in brussels, you feel like you're a part of the world much sooner than anywhere else. and then when you start traveling, like i went to germany, i went to, to england and it feels very natural. but also how much of that do you think comes from also being from the background that your firm, you know, having parents to have come from another country the, i guess, 2nd generation impact if you really look at it for, for its potential. you know, just having that diverse background it's, it's a wealth to possess you because you do start with a lot of disadvantages. and that was my story when i grew up, you know, from an area where we did start with a lot of disadvantages, but i never looked at my background as one it was for me was a, well, it was something that i possess, that i felt one day on the p. p jealous from you know, and from congo and i'm proud of it. and i'm from brussels and speak dutch and i speak french and, you know, i, i own a 100 percent. all of it. you also have manchester, great to manchester or the north of england. it's different to the south, right. how do you think that's impacted you and shaped? you know, what look what i like over here is in the know of people say say it as it is. and people own up to their mistakes, you know, and you can have an argument with someone in the next day. you know, you still part of the same team and you know, you move on and you work together. it was the next go. and i try to do it as well. one in my relationship with players. look, you know, i think it's better than you at the moment. this is what we need to do to get you to compete. in the beginning, it's hard to take. but eventually they said, you know, at least you told me, at least he told me and, and i wanted to know if there's anything you can think of in terms of influence for you. anything that marked you when you were growing up, or even maybe later in terms of potentially books or stories about people or anecdotes. look, i think i grew up with almost like the grades of my father, you know, and being black. and it's, you know, it's, it's weird to say because my background is white and black. but you know, the color of my skin is dog. so i was, i was black. and then you know, you're looking for success stories. so you look at mama, dolly, you look at pele and before my generation, but you look at nelson mandela and you know, just people who have an impact, who can do it, and that's kind of your fuel. i don't think there was that many more than that, you know, just like the same 5 or 6 people for everyone that was like growing up and, and i was your inspiration. no one year. you know, any of the guys that i will ever mention, but i'm just relentless and i just keep coming back. when you think about legacy and you're relentlessness, what do you relentlessly pushing for what you want to leave behind? it's i've seen such a difficult question to answer when i wake up every day i, i can't say that i know there's a big picture through the back concert. i wake up every day because you know, my legacy needs to be so know i wake up every day because i'm passionate about what i do. and i think legacies created by you eventually being good at what you do, an inspiring office and you know, doing it in a way that empowers all this as well. and i don't know how, what the end goal is. but i know i'm not going to do it on my own, and i know that because of my success, if i can be successful, i'm going to make sure that all this can grow as well and others can be that you might have if you will believe in, in a thing that you feel particularly religious or the thing is the way you describe that. i just, i don't know, it made me just one that were in burleson can be straightforward and everything simple but, but no, look, it's an, an answer question for me. so but again, is this thing we're in a world where you've got to be black or white, you've got to be muslim jewish christian, you've got to be, you've got to be so many things. and then if you not, black lives miles and new white lives, missouri an issue not visser or you know, sometimes you don't know and you try and figure things out. and that's fine. so agnostic, you know, if it's not, i mean like you just feel like it's, yeah, it just feels interesting because it, if i die, do i want to go to have an i'd rather go, yeah, yeah. okay. but if i die, do i want my children to believe in heaven? definitely make it easier for them make it better for them to i have the answers and know, i think, you know, i've seen of, i know a lot of very religious people and it's a conviction and it's, it's really spiritual. it's really something that, that, that is a driving their life on. you know, i'm probably not on that level, but i respected 100 percent. thank you very much. visual me today. i appreciate that. i'm so glad we could have young generation for poor sir. thanks. i thank you for having me. oh, in algeria who has always been more than a game, ah, good deal, i didn't have you did. i didn't feel about a photo item, which i did love the thought, i know. sporting the bar and the store shipped to restore it. ah ah as a journalist, i've covered a lot of story on football in europe, but i come to algeria my father's country to find out how football he hates society and what a game means at the local level. my 1st up is in the neighborhood of that with that home of the field. the football club, founded just days off out here is independent in 1962, c r p is one of our theory is most popular and successful clubs a tomorrow it playing in africa version of the champions league and fans are snapping up. ticket versa, cool. so, can you explain why your theory fanboys?
