Yesterday, the fans of the team "Roma" became witnesses of an incredible event. In the second leg of the Europa League semi-final match against "Man Utd," a promising defender Ebrima Darboe appeared on the field. The 19-year-old's story is exceptional - the Gambian arrived in Europe with refugee boat when he was just five years old and was taken in by an Italian family. After some time, scouts from "Roma" became interested in the teenager's football talent. In 2019, E. Darboe fulfilled his dream and signed his first professional contract. Given the opportunity to perform in the Italian championship, he marked his climb towards his dream goals with a debut in a prestigious tournament semi-final. "It's unbelievable. I don't even know how to explain my feelings. I've dreamed about this since childhood, but as you know, it's difficult to play football at the highest level in Africa. My friend, who was like a brother to me, advised me to try to get to Europe, but when our parents couldn't get visas, I had to flee with two comrades. It was hard, but thanks to God and Italy, I became part of a family that took care of me. After a year, I met scout Miriam Petruzzi, who changed my life," said the African after the match.
