Leandro Trossard has to be one of the biggest bargains in recent Arsenal history.
Scoring goals with both feets. Playing almost every attacking position absolutely flawless. Being an absolute teamplayer.
I absolutely love everything about this player.
Leandro Trossard is special 💫
TOM VERNON- Founder, Right To Dream Academy & Chairman, FC Nordsjaelland.
****I decided some time ago that at my 25 years anniversary I would stop as the CEO of Right to Dream. That day has arrived and today is my last day as CEO of the community I founded and love.
I have agreed with the Mansour Family a new role as Executive vice chairman, staying on the board of RtD group and San Diego FC. This will see me activity supporting our clubs and academies in Egypt and San Diego non-operationally and FC Nordsjaelland as Chairman, however after a quarter century of pushing Right to Dream inch by inch it’s time to achieve a better family balance and spend my reduced time supporting our amazing leadership one step back from the front line, where I can focus on deepening and strengthening our culture and the global connectivity within our community. With my new found time and flexibility I will prioritize Family and Ghana my 1st loves😍
Ghana are still only scratching the surface in unlocking the potential of the worlds most talented kids and I’m looking forward to being ‘home’ in Old Akrade much more regularly. I will also look to share my many learnings with some of the incredible projects and people that share my core belief that everyone has the Right to Dream.
From the 1st team (below) we started 25 years ago we have grown to community with 4 academies and professional clubs in Denmark Egypt and America and we will soon have 1000 members of our community across Staff players and students, (many more of you include our graduated killing it at the best universities, companies and football clubs in the world). It’s been an unbelievable journey and I wouldn’t change a single second.
Our new CEO is Dan Dickinson and there is no one better suited to further knit together our community and grow it. We have been partners for over a decade and friends for much longer. I’m privileged to now work with him even closer in our new roles.
My greatest blessing is the knowledge that these 25 years would not be possible without my Parents who funded Right to Dream when no one else would and My wife who co-created the vision and reality. It’s not lost on me how lucky I am.
I’m off to the dressing room for a half time recovery and team talk and hope to extend the lead in the 2nd half. ⚽️
Daniil Medvedev shares a sweet story about Novak Djokovic & says he treats him the same way now as he did when he was ranked #400 in the world:
“For sure the story was unbelievable. We practiced with Novak. That was so funny. He was even like, ‘Oh, we play Davis Cup in couple days.’
I was, ‘Yeah. Are you going?’
‘Yeah, I'm going.’ That was my first tie.
He was like, ‘When are you going?’
I was like, ‘Saturday.’
He was, ‘Do you want to go with me?’
Honestly, I feel like I'm a shy person. At first, I say, ‘No, no, Federation already took tickets for me.’ It was one stop, three hours away and something. I was there, maybe I actually should have said yes. In one hour when the practice finished. Novak, really, I can come with you? He was, ‘Yeah.’
I was, ‘Okay, I will come.’
I think that's what sometimes people don't know about Novak. He can be tough on the court, like I can be. He can be this and that. But me, since the first time I met him, I was 400 in the world. Now I'm 3 in the world. Was 1 in the world. I feel like he treats me like before.
For sure I became more of a rival than before for him. But the treatment off court when we see each other is the same. I like this about him. I find this very good from him as a person, yeah.” 🥹
