Emanuel Emegha has come to the right path at Sparta. The 17-year-old talent is increasingly allowed to train with the first team and there he hopes to realize his dreams as a professional football player.
As a little boy, Emegha had many problems. “I always wanted to fight with everyone at school,” he says FOX Sports. “I grew up without a father, so I missed a certain direction. When I was twelve I was scouted by Sparta and then something changed. If you did not do your best at school you could not play games, so then the button went to me I did my best and I could just play on Saturday. “
This season, the attacker, who often played for Jong Sparta, hopes for his breakthrough at Het Kasteel. “I do it for my family, for my mother and brother. I want to see them happy. When I was fifteen I wrote down that I want to make my debut against Feyenoord. So coincidentally that we will play against them in three weeks! I’m really going to make my debut. “
