Sacca: My love of football helped me succeed and I knew I had to be a good role model for kids

My first football memories are from my home in Greenford, West London, where I used to play football on the edge of a green field where everyone would play until dark after school. As I got older, I started playing football with my brother. We have two goals, so we will play. My brother is two years older than me and my father will be on the goal-line. Usually it's me against my brother, and if I get past my brother, then I'm going to face my father. It's very confrontational, and I'm not going to stop until I win.

I remember my uncle came when I was six years old and he said, "You play a lot of football. You should go to a local team." So we looked it up, the team was called the Greenford Celtics, and we went there. Coach Colin said the team was full, which upset me a bit, but he asked me to stay and practice first, and after practice he said, "I think you're good enough, I'll find a way to get you a place on the team."

I was there for more than half a year and then a lot of scouts started contacting my parents and I tried out for different clubs, a lot of them like Arsenal, Chelsea, Watford and Tottenham, but that was part of it. I'm close to Watford so I spent a bit of time there and sometimes I train at Colney, which is next door to Arsenal's training ground. But you couldn't sign for a club until you were nine, so then I went to Arsenal.

I also played for my school team, but I didn't talk about it with Arsenal! As a kid, you might play three times a day because you don't get tired. So I will play at school and then train at Arsenal. My primary school team was the first team to win the Peal Shield, I won the cup twice there, and I also won the cup in junior school, which was great. I grew up with Sancho, we were both training at Watford and he was there with my brother. I see him a lot, and he comes to my house sometimes, so I grew up with him in a way.

I have been there since signing for Arsenal. I've always loved football, and I think when you're young, you like it, but when you're older, you really think about it, because the perspective is different. So I think because I like this, I will be willing to do this serious thing, and I hope to realize my dream. My love for football helped me succeed in the end.

For Arsenal, I like the older generation, like Thierry Henry. I liked Thierry Henry because I was at Arsenal and I watched a lot of games and I liked Alexis Sanchez. He's one of my favorite players. Playing a game as a kid, I think it's memorable and it stays with you for the rest of your life.

The love you get from the England fans has always been special, for me that's what it's all about, when you hear your name sung by the fans it makes you want to give back even better. It's a great feeling to hear kids look up to me and I hope to always inspire them, make them proud and make them happy. I always wanted to do my best because I knew that my children who followed me would be watching what I was doing. I always knew I had to set a good example.

For kids who want to be football players, to love football, you need to enjoy it, to put a smile on your face, to do everything possible to reach your maximum potential.

Sakar's youth does not regret! Fans thousands of letters plastered all over the wall, encouraging him to brave not to give up!

Sacca is the youngest baby in the England team.

Southgate handed him the all-important fifth penalty.

This is the biggest trust in this little brother, but also the biggest opportunity.

Unfortunately, the fate of the people, either the opportunity comes or can seize.

Need to endure hardships, learning the sea is long and arduous.

Sacca won't have a hard time beating himself up. After all, he is still a player not even 20 years old.

No matter how tired and bitter, this age is easy to forget.

With the warm care of so many fans, Saca's youth is blooming magnificently.

England's right wing has always been worn by No7 players.

Sancho is still waiting, and Gralish gets the number seven first.

Lingard just lost number seven.

Sacca, a reserve for England's No7.

Arsenal's captain's armband, too, should get a chance to wear Sacca's left arm.

The fear is that he will soon be poached and Arsenal will not be able to keep him.

Thank the fans for their love and try to win a new trophy for Arsenal.
