[Music]
How was your trip?
I came on a flight.
A flight, where did it come from?
From Abidjan to Casablanca.
Okay.
In Casablanca began the adventure, you know?
What I can say about that's what I'm here right now, right?
It was a little difficult, but it went well, it went well.
My mindset is to come in here, alive.
And thank God I'm here, right?
I remember well, it was the World Cup, the semi-final.
Morocco against France.
I stopped by a bar, the people were watching and
I stayed, had a tea and four hours waiting there.
And then comes a car, takes us to a
house, 35 people, a normal house, small.
And I said to us, "you they have to stay there for a day.
" But we couldn't make a day because the house is super tiny.
It's not easy, people couldn't sleep, you know?
People were super worried.
I was also very worried because it was my first time.
Me asking people, "What's it like?
How is the dinghy?
Is it small or is it big? What does it look like?
Can you fall sitting inside?
Can you fall? How am I going to sit?
How should I sit?
” Asking people that has already gone several times.
The tallest Boys they have to take the dinghy and
the shortest boys they have to take the gasoline,
from the engine, so, that's it.
And then... What did you have to take?
Me, the gasoline.
Gasoline?
Yes, it weighed a lot.
I mean, if it's 25 liters, I don't know, that square can, it was big.
I was there... It was big, really.
I took.
I couldn't, I couldn't finish because I
walk a lot on the sand, before we get to
the beach, it was a long journey, you know?
And on top of that, the dinghy was broken.
Our dinghy was broken and there were people, a lot of people crying.
But you have to... No we can't do anything, you know?
That's right, we decided to go, we have to go.
You can't go back you have to go.
There are people who are very, very, very motivated.
They’d rather die, than to go back.
Because you come from a place, a place, you get to
a place, you do something, you are not going to sleep here, it's
to look for something and go back to your country.
And it's not over yet, because it is now that you have to get started.
And it's now what you have to work.
Work double.
There is nothing there, the dinghy, you get here and such...
That's luck, isn't it?
In the end, people die, but...
It’s luck and here It is even more difficult.
But thank God we have a little help from the center,
we have people who support us, the friends
here, we have the coaches that give us
what we want, we have good people, you know?
Everywhere there are good people and bad people, what I told you.
But we focus on the good people, you know?
In the end, when I say bad
people, good people, I mean racism.
But hey, thank God, most people
have been awesome to me.
Very good.
How was your life in Ivory Coast before you came here?
My day to day.
In Ivory Coast?
Super good, right? Very, very good.
With family, with siblings,
with peers of class and all that.
I like it.
What memories do you have from childhood?
Being with the family, going to the pool with my
brothers, enjoy the day with them, talking to the
family, sit down, giving me advice or something.
The advice that my Father gave me, especially my mother,
Don't go with bad people,
Keep a cool head when doing things, Work for the thing you want.
They gave me good advice.
Now I have to listen to them, listen to them.
You're very close to your mother, aren't you?
My father had two women, didn't he?
And most of the day was spent with my mother, more than my father, you know?
Does your father work?
Yes, my father works.
My father is a merchant.
Your mother?
Sell clothes.
She sells clothes?
Yes.
She does well, really.
Since I was there, she does well
and I have not missed anything, really.
Everything I wanted she has given me.
Not everything, but most.
Why did you decide to come?
I decided to come here because I would see the
friends who were studying, the boys in the
neighborhood studied far away and nothing was coming.
I was there doing nothing.
I saw, I thought that coming here I was going to have a better life.
In the end, you come here to shake things up, right?
To change things, right?
Culture, all that will change your life, right?
There isn't, maybe here there is something that my country does
not have, but my country also has something that is not here.
I don't know how to detail that,
I don't know how to say it, the little things, but good.
Because I have only been two and a half years here, but I see,
I see the things here that you have that you don't have there,
but there you have some things that you don't have here.
But hey.
Didn't you have what you wanted there?
I had it, but it wasn’t mine.
I wanted to search mine in another country.
Coulibaly, when You talk to your family?
In this case with your mother, right?
You told me that you talk to her a lot.
Yes, yes.
What does she think about you having come here?
What advice does she give you?
The advice given to me by my mother is to have a head,
to be cold-blooded, to work, to work, to work for what I want.
If I want to do something, I have to earn it,
I have to work a lot, because it's not easy.
Here, too, we must work hard.
Here too, it's not easy.
It's like a dinghy, you are inside, But it hasn't arrived yet.
You have to work, to suffer, to have what you want.
People, not to suffer, prefer to come here to
be in a house, to be in a center doing nothing.
No, better...
What I can tell them is that
they're not going to earn here everything they want.
Calm down here.
Especially us who are here, we know more.
And when we say that, they may think
That we don't want them to come.
But it's not that.
It's because we're telling the truth.
When you arrived, Where did you go?
To the center, right? They sent me to the center.
I did a week of quarantine.
what?
Quarantine. I cried a lot.
Because I missed my family.
Because I wasn't used.
I wasn't thinking.
I wanted to see my mother, To be in a house without
my mother, I wasn't used, you know?
I wanted to be in a house with my mom, with my father, with everyone, you know?
Because not everyone Is lucky to get here.
People treat you right, They give you things.
They helped me a lot.
They helped me with the the papers, right?
They helped me with the food, helped me
Giving me what I needed, the most Important issues, what I needed to have.
How did you communicate with …?
I didn't understand the language, but the way
to communicate with me, "Dude," you know?
I feel like they love me, you know?
I feel like I'm not uncomfortable, I'm very comfortable with them.
And there you also learn more, from the boys,
you learn more from the other countries
Well, you haven't lived, in Ivory Coast, you know?
In the end, they're nice things, you know?
I like it, you know?
Sometimes we get a little angry, but
in the end we know what we love each other, we
know why we're here and such, but
well, very, very same, very, very good.
I can't believe it myself, you know?
Because if I'm able to do that,
then I'm able to to do more stuff.
So, that's where I it gives me strength, it gives me a lot...
Of… force, to be able to do more things.
Because if you can do two things,
who says you can’t do three things?
You can do it, if you work hard you can do it.
Coulibaly, tell me about the first the day you arrived at high school?
The first day at high school was very good, they took me very well.
I had a friend and everything.
The first day?
The first day in high school.
A boy, I had a great class.
Teachers helped me a lot.
They help me a lot, they help me a lot.
I had a great class.
Teachers help me a lot.
Above all, there are three teachers that I... Or four, right?
In the end everyone, everyone helps me, you know?
Everyone helps me, no there is one more than the
other, but hey, sometimes in week I see one more
than the other, but they help me a lot of
teachers, they help me to do the task, the homework.
There is no teacher who tells me things.
In the end I like it, you know?
I really like it because they have given me what is necessary
To be here, to pass, and they help me.
They want me to Make it, to be what I want to be.
What is it that you Like the most in Basic FP?
There are two subjects that catch my attention a lot, or
three, three subjects that catch my attention a lot.
That first is Repair.
Repair. The teacher's name is Noemi, she
helps me a lot to learn more things,
she also reinforces us, she is a very good person.
Second, how to attend to a customer, customer support.
Because I'm used to it from Africa, to serve customers,
because my mother, when she took me on weekends to
work with her, I attended customers, you know?
People came because of me, to buy what I had.
And third, which is TVS, Basic Administrative
Technique, which is called Ancor, in customer
service, and the teacher's name is Omayma.
And now my choice, my mindset is, finishing the cycle that I'm doing, Basic
FP, start working Make a living.
Who's going to give us water?
Coulibaly one day said "I don't want to…"?
What is your goal, Coulibaly?
My goal is to be a footballer, why? Because of football.
I want to be a footballer to fulfill my dreams, right?
I like it, I play football because I like it, not
because I want to to have millions or something.
Doing this thing, I have fun, I'm happy, you know?
playing football I'm very happy, you know?
As an attacking midfielder, because sometimes the coach tells me
Do you want to be a central midfielder? but I consider myself as an attacking midfielder,
you know? Because I try to carry the ball,
do a little bit of things, but hey,
you have to spend a lot of mindset, mentally you have to be strong.
Most of the time the coach tells me "lead the team,
because you're the one in charge, you're the one who has to...
the team has to go left, the team goes to the left, the
team has to go to the right, the team goes to the right.
"You," I was told many times, "Moha, you can get where you want,
but if you don't have a head you're not going to get anywhere,
you lack only head", he tells me, always head.
Here, very badly, but as a footballer, very good.
But without that, it doesn't come, because most
of people are missing that, that's why it's not coming.
But if you have that, Shake it up, I swear to you,
I bet you can get where you want.
- And speaking of football, Who is your favorite player?
"My favorite player?" I don't have any favorite players,
I like many players, because I like a lot of players.
I like the midfield of Manchester United,
who is Bruno Fernandez, I really like him.
I also like the French player Paul Pogba,
I like Billingham, I like him because I'm half an attacking midfielder too.
Apart from football, there are more things,
I would also love to be a lawyer,
helping people, defending the people,
people who are right, and doesn’t know how
defend themselves, I would like to defend that person.
- Is there anything that you would like to change in you?
- Yeah, right? Like everyone else, right?
We're not perfect, you know?
There are things that are not right, everyone has their flaws.
"What would you say is your flaw?"
- I don't listen, really.
-You don’t listen? -Yes.
I don't pay much attention, you know?
I do whatever I want, that’s the truth, a lot of people tell me,
but as the Spaniards say, “it goes in one ear and out the other”.
