Career
Samba, 13, caused a stir when he scored 132 goals in 32 games in one season. He entered the Academy of the Millwall Club, where he continued to show good results, and soon they became interested in Manchester United , Arsenal and Liverpool . The latter offered Millwall 1.5 million pounds for a player’s transfer, but Millwall rejected the offer. Michael Owen personally called Samba with a proposal to move. Many British football newspapers have written about young talent. However, in subsequent years, Samba could not speak at the same level - as it turned out, Samba’s stunning physical parameters gave him an advantage in his early years, but as soon as the players around him also grew, he could no longer stand out. In 2004, he left Millwall to build a career in Spain speaking for Cadiz , but he didn’t achieve any more success. Subsequently, Samba played for the Spanish “Malaga” (rent), the English “ Plymouth ” and “ Wrexham ” (rent), the Finnish “Haka” . The only goal in official adult competitions was scored for Plymouth.
| “Glad this happened to me when I was young. I had to grow faster. But I got a good lesson. It made me a stronger person, I realized that you can be upstairs in one minute, and the last person on earth the next. Now I know that you need to be modest. No matter how good you are, you have to work all the time. ”Cherno Samba in an interview with The Observer, February 13, 2005. [1] |
