Meet Benny White: elite partying lore of this man:
—Chucked Ødegaard’s £1,200 glasses right into the crowd without a second thought.
—Bullied Rice into performing "Rice, Rice Baby."
—Joyful sang "Hincapie, get your bumm out."
—Someone pelted a burger at the parade bus, and he genuinely just ate it.
You actually cannot convince me there is a bigger legend in the game of partying than him. Ultimate GOAT behavior. 🐐🥳
Rich kids also succeed in hard things.
The story of Gabriel Martinelli should inspire you too,
but most people don’t even know how hard he came to been
People love the “poor boy from the streets” football story.
But Martinelli’s journey was different.
He was born in Guarulhos, Brazil in 2001, and from a young age, his father believed his son was destined for something bigger. Not just ordinary belief. Real sacrifice.
Real commitment.
His father kept taking him from one football opportunity to another.
From Brazil to Europe.
From one trial to the next.
Spending money.
Taking risks.
Refusing to give up on his child’s dream.
Most people don’t understand what it takes for a family in South America to keep chasing opportunities in Europe.
The flights.
The paperwork.
The uncertainty.
The pressure.
And still, they kept going.
Martinelli had multiple trials at Manchester United.
Not once.
Not twice.
Four different times.
Trained with young players and met stars like Zlatan Ibrahimović, Paul Pogba, and Wayne Rooney.
But Manchester United never signed him.
Imagine the emotional pressure.
A father spending almost everything he has trying to create a future for his son.
A young boy traveling across countries chasing one opportunity.
Then rejection after rejection.
At some point, many families would have stopped.
Many people would have accepted defeat.
But the father never gave up on his son’s dream
Just when the dream was close to dying,
Arsenal came knocking.
Arsenal took the chance.
Saw his potential.
And the rest became history.
Today, Martinelli plays with passion because he understands how close he was to losing everything.
How close the dream was to ending before it even began.
Sometimes success is not just “from poor to rich.”
He have had a call up to represent Brazil a this year FIFA World Cup.
Yesterday, he stood beside his dad at Selhurst Park celebrating the first Premier League title of his career.
And the moment he got his medal, he immediately placed it on his father.
Then he hugged him so tight.
Honestly, it was such an emotional moment to watch.
I almost dropped a tear.
Sometimes success is:
good parenting,
sacrifice,
discipline,
belief,
and refusing to quit after repeated rejection.
That is why stories like Martinelli’s matter.
Behind many successful people is someone who kept believing in them when the world said no.
People see footballers lifting trophies, but they rarely see the people who carried the dream before the world believed in it.
That moment was bigger than football.
It was the reward for a father who refused to stop believing in his son…
Gary Neville once said that Arteta should leave if he ends up making the top 4, because he has hit his ceiling.
Arsenal responded today by inviting him for an interview to discuss winning the title, and presented him with a shirt saying ‘to our biggest supporter’.
Unreal.
