Jaden congratulations on winning the
award what does it mean for you it's a
real honor to win this award and there's
a lot of great players um that are out
there and to be chosen the best player
next turn is really um it's really good
for me and for my family I'm sure my
family will be proud of me and I just
got to keep working this is not the the
end of it um yeah I'm just really honed
thank you very much let us talk a little
bit about your way when you was a child
a kid um was it a special moment you
realized you were better than other kids
and I never really looked at in that way
of being better than anyone because
everyone has their own special
specialities of obviously being good as
a football player I just always felt
like if I worked harder than everyone
else then I would stand out more and
that's what I kept on doing and obiously
it's it's paying
off how much did you work on your skills
um outside of regular training sessions
um I used to do a lot of ball sessions
with my friends obviously when I was
back in London and obviously that's
where we practice our skills where we
play 55s on the street and yeah that's
what I usually would practice here in
Germany people love the world
Street footballer would you describe
yourself as something like that yeah I
would class myself as a street
footballer obviously becoming like
playing that's where it all started was
on the street and yeah I'm happy that I
progressed and made it this far how big
was the influence of Raheem Sterling
obviously him coming from London as well
and him getting so far at of such a
young age um I felt like I can relate to
him because obviously being from London
and even him coming from street football
as well me and him have a lot of
similarity so and especially when I was
with England he would speak to me a lot
and tell me you know what to do and you
know just to block things out if
something wen't going your way but so
yeah he helped me a lot can you name the
um people who have been most important
for you to become what you are as a
footballer now um there's there's a lot
of people that have helped me on the way
and I'm just thankful for them and and I
always be thankful forever and without
them I wouldn't be here today I don't
think to just keep me grounding and keep
me
focused I've spoken to Marco Roy about
you and he said um there are only a few
players who are so complete in this age
nevertheless you have to continue
working out of course of course so um
how do you see the future for you um I I
look at as um I just got to keep on
working hard and helping my team in
every game we play and I think if I stay
like this um I think I could do a lot of
things with b and hard working is the
key and is the way forward we talked to
some people who hopefully know you well
yeah and nearly all of them said um you
have been always confident um can you
just tell us where does it come from um
I think it just comes in within
um
it's I think it's probably because when
I was younger I always used to play with
old the older boys and I feel like every
time I kept on playing with them I felt
more confident and confident and
obviously I just feel like now I'm
playing with older boys again you know
so it's it's it's probably just back
then obviously just learning how to play
with older boys and not just not my own
own age and I thought that's helped me a
lot on the way so it has helped to
become maor more quickly yeah yeah
mature more quickly and obviously grow
grow up on the pitch also so how would
you describe yourself um
as a as a guy off the pitch um I feel
like um I'm chilled I'm viby obiously I
like to have a good time and yeah just
just fun I would say I would say fun and
you're funny as well M said yeah
sometimes
sometimes to take a deeper look to the
future is winning the balandor or um the
goal 50 which is a award for every
player okay is it a goal for you um of
course I feel I feel like that should be
everyone's every every player's goal
obviously dreaming to win Balon Dior and
obviously lacks of who's won it
previously like Leon Messi chrisan
Ronaldo modri um Ronaldinho all these
greats have won it so I feel like that
should be a big inspiration to everyone
in the world that plays football how
exactly do you deal with um goals do you
set goals yourself on your personal
development or yeah I I set personal
goals um for example just like just just
little things this little details like
working on my left foot um shooting
quick um getting in behind the defender
um early and quick and you know just
popping it off and no know when to shoot
know when to pass so yeah just i' just
got to keep on working on that and
hopefully that will approve me as a
player
