In the age of digital technology and the internet, more and more people from the most ordinary families are becoming more and more popular while earning millions of influencers. Many famous people are ready to take various actions. From changing images and principles to pretending to be humble in highly prosperous situations. Similarly, many famous footballers have been portrayed by the media as very modest. Doing selfless things and refusing to live in luxury. Today I would like to share with you a man whose kindness and modesty cannot be denied at all. This guy spent his childhood and youth. Like the fairy tale Cinderella's heroine is destitute. There is no gift of faith.
This man is Ngolo Kante, the defensive midfielder of the French national team. He has always surprised the public, and Ngolo Kante was born on March 29, 1991, on the outskirts of Perez. His parents moved here from the French colony of Mali in search of a better life. But they faced some very difficult years. Mother was a cleaner. My father was a garbage worker. Of course, from the time he was born, there was barely enough money to feed their eight children. When the boy first started school, the family suffered the death of his father. His brother also died two years later. The family's hopeless situation gets worse. The sense of responsibility for his mother forced the little one to take on the role of breadwinner. To prevent his family from really starving to death. Started working for the same company his father had worked for. Collects and transports garbage in his area. The boy walks several kilometers a day to clear the streets of the city.
But most of all, he enjoys watching all sorts of great games in the fan stands and cleaning up the garbage at the football stadium after the game. His favorite is that he can watch football games for free. So Kante Jr. has never missed a football game. Football gradually became a hobby for boys. Later his mother spent her last money to send it to the local college. The boy was quiet and modest, and at the 1998 World Football Championship, all the players and coaches were unaware of his family and plight. The extravaganza in France did not leave the boys indifferent. The team's excellent game inspired his adventures. Aims to build perseverance and concentration in the football career as well as daily training. The youth club began to bear fruit, but Kante just responded with every compliment with a shy smile.
After that despite being short in stature. The club won one victory after another and he was the only player to listen and do everything the coach asked for. The coach once joked and challenged him to learn juggling ball 50 times in two months. Kanter shocked his teacher from training. In 2010, Kante left his first youth team. Moved to another youth club on her own. It was followed by England and its clubs and won the Premier League in 2016. The only player to lead the club in the summer, his departure proved to be a major factor in Leicester's sharp decline.
Ngolo Kante's unparalleled success has attracted Chelsea and is one of the 10 highest-paid clubs in the world. He paid up to 42 million manes. Kante is very grateful not only for this generous offer, but also for the opportunity to train with legendary footballer and renowned coach Antonio Conte. When his hard work earned him the 2018 world title, the footballer's pinnacle marked the trophy even on such a major event, And Kante didn't feel the need to be ecstatic in front of thousands of fans. He was even embarrassed. He tucked the trophy into his hand so he could pose for the camera.
It was after the distant 1998 French victory that 7-year-old Kante promised himself that one day he would also win the trophy for his country. Kante's natural modesty inspired his teammates to make him the mascot of the national team. Kante has achieved success in sport, but the most interesting part has not yet arrived. Despite his countless victories and impressive earnings. The mini is Kanter's mount, sometimes cycling or even walking. The annual income is 1500 mane. Including advertising revenue, fans often saw him walking around town, and Kanter refused to transfer his salary overseas, explaining that he wanted to get a net salary and pay taxes.
Information about Conte's involvement in philanthropy was leaked accidentally, and Kante himself has been silent about it and has never shared this information with the public alone in 2018. He spent 6 million mane, forty percent of his annual income, helping African orphanages and schools in Mali. Kanter also set aside huge sums of money to treat sick children.
The most striking example is that Kanter recently paid for surgery for two children, an internal organ transplant, and their parents contacted him on social media. He also responded attentively to the parents of the children. Another example, when a fan said on a chaotic jet that wanted to walk into him and invited Kanter to his house for dinner. It didn't take long for photos of that night to spread across the Internet. Who can imagine a world superstar and an average fan playing video games.
There are actually a lot of similar situations when Kante interacts with his fans in informal settings. For example, after Chelsea beat Arsenal, a fan of a losing team approached Kante and said: "He is sad." Kanter sincerely apologized for the outcome of his successful match and supported the man.
But the most discussed news was that one day Kante attended a fan's wedding. One of the vans invited Kante to his daughter's wedding, and of course he didn't expect the footballer to accept his invitation. But it was surprising when Kanter showed up at the event with gifts, and no one could even imagine that something like this would happen.
But friends, that's exactly what happened recently, and one of the fans saw Kanter at a cheap supermarket in London. The fan, Safaz Ahmed, approached Kante. Asking for a group photo, Kanter naturally agreed. Safaz posted the photo on his social platform and said he was going to go shopping in Asda and see who I met there? He was very friendly and took a picture with me, very polite and he listened to me patiently. It has to be said that the story of Ngolo Kanter is also popular.
One day the truck hit his car and Kanter was uninjured. But the car was a little damaged and Kante wasn't angry, even talking cordially with the truck driver, then he signed some autographs for all passers-by and left with a smile. Interestingly, two months later, his car still has a broken mirror and some scratches. Kanter doesn't seem to care about his car, and Kanter says he doesn't see any point in spending money on expensive trinkets and other unnecessary things.
Just recently forward Cedric Kiprey shared another interesting story. Cedric Kipre, from France, tried to find a house where he didn't have much money at the time, and when Kanter found that he couldn't find a suitable place, he kindly invited Cedric Kipre to stay in his house, and Kanter also allowed Cedric Kiprey's family to stay in his house completely free. Kipre later told reporters he was proud to meet someone like Ngorlo Kanter.
Kante doesn't think he's any different from any footballer, while others say: Ngorlo Kante is very cute and modest, Kante just feels like an ordinary person, and like everyone else, thinks that sometimes exaggerates what he does. There are other people in the world who have done the same thing as me. Kanter said in an interview: "He was just caught on the street, and he took a picture with ordinary passers-by to thank him for his kindness and modesty. Kanter has won the affection of many of his fans, not only as an idol but also as a role model, and he is seen as a true mentor, proving to all boys in poor areas that their goals can be achieved through hard work. Of course, it can also be achieved by believing in ourselves, which is not only for football, but also for our daily lives. Because the most important thing is to always be a good person, and the world will definitely accept you!
