A few months ago, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the whole football world has witnessed the embarrassing and record loss of Barcelona against the German giant Bayern Munich. At least in Europe, such matches have not been seen in recent times, and moreover, football fans have been shocked by the defeat of a team like Barcelona. But do you remember the fifth goal of that match? Of course. It is not uncommon for Barcelona right back Nelson Semedo to be fooled by dribbling and speed cuts from the byline, just as Bayern's young left-back Alfonso Davies entered the Barcelona box. That was the perfect fulfillment when he gave Kimich the finishing pass in a beautiful way. Joshua Kimich scored the goal using his great positioning sense, but the spectators were stunned by Davies Magic! Alphonso Davies, a Canadian, moved to Germany with a record transfer in the history of Major League Soccer. Young in age, but no doubt about the talent. Moreover, the Canadian media has been claiming him as the most talented player in Canada so far. Before the Barcelona match, however, Davis got special attention because of Messi That's how the headline came about, how to stop the world's best Messi in the right flank inexperienced Davies! Davies also called his father as he could not cope with the excitement of facing the star of his dreams. The father smiled at the boy's excitement, and Davis smiled back. Maybe both of them went back to the miserable past about twenty years ago! The father and son may have been alone with the emotion of how this difficult journey ended. In the late nineties, terrible civil wars were raging in African countries. The wind of war was blowing in the country called Liberia. Diva and Teresa took refuge in a refugee camp in the Buduburam region of neighboring Ghana with a total of 1,500 refugees fleeing that conflict and chaotic life. A year later, they gave birth to their fourth child in that camp. The newborn boy is named Alfonso Davies. But the camp environment was chaotic, crowded. And the severe food crisis was a matter of routine. In this situation, the couple does not think how to do! There is no way back to the country, only to cross a small border and enter Liberia in need of food. Meanwhile, there is no food, and there is no opportunity to send children to school. So their lives are spent in difficult struggles. Davies's parents' fond memories of the ordeal in that Ghanaian camp come to the fore in many ways. According to Davies's father, "It was true that we were not tortured or harassed in the camp. So we were pretty safe. But the main problem was the lack of money. That is why it was almost impossible for us to survive there. I even had to pay for water. Sometimes, if you went out of the camp in search of food, you had to keep a gun for safety So, according to Davies's father, they wanted to escape anyway, seeing an uncertain future. Then, as the refugee resettlement process began, Davies's father quickly filled out a form for Canada. After going through all the steps including the interview, Davies and his family's destination is Canada. Davies was barely five years old then. Arriving in Canada, the new journey of life starts from scratch Because even there the struggle for the economic and social establishment was not so easy My parents were busy all day. So Davies spent his childhood in the care of his elder brothers and sisters, through whom he got his hands on football.

However, Davies's sporting talent was first discovered by Melissa Guzzo, a sports teacher at Mother Teresa Catholic School. According to him, he was indomitable even in football, track, and basketball. As a result, Davies gradually became involved in various tournaments in the city, where he caught the eye of Tim Adam, the founder of a sports organization called Free Footy. Tim Adam later handed him over to Marco Bosio, a local academy coach. After that, Davis did not have to look back. Authorities at the Vancouver Whitecaps, a popular club in western Canada (who also regularly participates in Major League Soccer), brought him to their local academy after he was branded a promising future in the media. Although the family agreed at first, it did not last long depending on the club. This time it was Davies's turn to develop himself as a full-fledged professional player. But the trouble started a little differently. Seeing the impression of talent, the scouts from different clubs in Europe extended their hands towards Davies, and various gifts and presents kept coming. At that age, Davies's parents were forced to hire a teenage coach, Hursey, as their son's agent. It's good to say that Hursey is still with Davis as an agent. Along the way, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho wants him at the club. For this, a trial was also offered at the club. But Davis and the club authorities returned it, arguing he was not ready yet. A couple of years later, Davis made his Major League Soccer debut at the age of just fifteen, making him the youngest player in league history to make his debut. Meanwhile, Davis became unique with his excellent manipulation and irresistible attitude on the field.

Although he usually plays on the left, he is equally skilled and dangerous on the right! There is no restraint in the fascination spread on the green grass. Meanwhile, the Bayern Munich scouts have specifically revealed their own plans and thoughts about Davis. Which at one point forced Davis and his agent to encourage Bayern. He finally joined Bayern Munich, one of the most successful clubs in European football history, for a transfer fee of around 12 million euros in January 2019. Originally from Bayern, he moved from a winger to a fullback position, which, of course, further enhances his innate style of play. After the match between Barcelona and Bayern Munich, Davies's salute is going on everywhere now. And no matter what, this is a fairy tale. It is like the story of a helpless child born in a refugee camp, who has built a huge reputation for transcending his skyscraper dreams! Even today, a closer look at the Internet reveals the dilapidated refugee camp, where Davis and his family spent about five years after their birth. Impossible to thank his parents for their tireless struggle, Davis thinks that without his parents, this path would never have had such consequences. Maybe he would never have become a footballer. Davies, who has risen from an uncertain life point, will play in the Champions League final just hours later. Football fans hope that at least one more feather of prosperity will be added to the pages of Davies's life, if not specified in the pages of history.
