Life Journey

Albert Sambi Lokonga Biography depicts Facts about his childhood, his early life, his parents (Desire and Josee), family, and siblings (Paul-Jose, and Fabrice) as well. Additionally, you can learn more about Sambi’s Girlfriend/Wife (to-be), Lifestyle, Personal Life, Net Worth, etc.

In a nutshell, this memoir consists of the Full History of a footballer – who became successful by learning from his brother’s mistakes and receiving unwavering guidance from his father.

From Sambi’s boyhood days until when he achieved success in the beautiful game of football, the Woodgram tells Sambi’s story. For the purpose of stimulating your autobiography appetite on the engaging nature of Sambi’s story, we deemed it appropriate to provide you with a gallery of his Early Years and Rise.

It comes without saying that Sambi is a very versatile footballer, a player with excellent technical skills. He can solve midfield problems through his instincts and intelligence. Although he is given a lot of accolades, his name is not the most prominent in Lokonga’s biography.

Leander Dendoncker Biography, Age, Wife, Career, Net Worth & Wiki

No worries, Woodgram is here for you – at your service. We would like to begin now, without further ado.

He is known by the nickname – Mister cool – among Life Story Enthusiasts. As well, the full names of Albert-Mboyo Sambi Lokonga are as follows: Albert-Mboyo Sambi Lokonga. A Belgian professional footballer came into this world on the 22nd day of October 1999. Albert Sambi Lokonga was born to his mother, Josee Lokonga, and his father, Desire Lokonga. They live They lived in the city of Brussels in the Republic of Belgium. There is no doubt that this is Belgium’s capital and the largest municipality in the country.

During his childhood, Sambi Lokonga was born into a family of many children, the result of the union between his parents. The two people he holds in the highest regard are his parents. Josee Lokonga (Sambi’s mom) and Desire Lokonga (Sambi’s dad).

In his youth Lokonga, along with his parents and siblings, spent most of his days in his hometown, the quaint town of Verviers. This is located in the Belgian province of Liege. When he was a little boy, people described Sambi as someone who was someone you could never get bored with, all because of the instruction he received about family companionship as a child.

Among all of his siblings (brothers and sisters), he was particularly close to one of them. It is no other than his brother Paul-Jose M’Poku (who is a professional footballer) that will do the honors for him.

Paul-Jose M’Poku is the oldest of the M’Poku siblings. As a matter of fact, he is called upon to be both a Big Brother and a Superhero at the same time. Quite simply, Paul-Jose M’Poku was the type of person who never let little Sambi wander in the dark alone.

In general, it is a generally accepted notion that mistakes are a normal part of life. Paul-Jose M’Poku is the type of brother who takes responsibility for his mistakes – (which you can read about in our Bios later). It was important for him to ensure that his little brother (Sambi) also gained knowledge from it.

It is possible that you are not aware of the fact that Albert Sambi Lokonga also spent his boyhood days with another brother. Fabrice Lokonga spent his boyhood days with his elder brother Albert. Well, tell you more about him in the later part of our Biography.

The Belgian footballer comes from a middle-class family. According to research, his father is a very versatile individual. We learned he worked at different jobs to support his family. Both Lokonga’s parents are hardworking. Let’s find out what they do for a living.

Firstly, Sambi’s father is a Belgian air traffic controller. Desire Lokonga worked for a bottled water company before getting this job. Meanwhile, Albert Sambi Lokonga’s Mother (loses) is a career woman. In addition to her husband, she must be extremely proud of her son’s accomplishments.

You can tell by his appearance that he is of African descent. Chris Nkunku, whose Congolese blood runs through his veins, lusts like no other. Albert Sambi Lokonga is also of Congolese descent. They are of Afro-Belgian descent.

If you don’t know, his dad (Desire Lokonga) used to play football in DR Congo. Thus, it is not surprising to see his three sons (Albert, Fabrice, and Paul) following in his footsteps. His parents and the entire family lived in the Democratic Republic of the Congo when Paul-Jose M’Poku was born, as did Sambi Lokonga.

Sambi Lokonga’s brother (Paul-Jose M’Poku) was born in 1992, which means he was born four years before the First Congo War began. Fabrice (his elder brother) was born in 1995, a year before Congo’s civil war began. Due to the war, Desire and Josee Lokonga decided to migrate their families to Belgium in order to secure their children’s future.

Albert Sambi Lokonga’s mother (Jose) gave birth to him two years after the Congo War, also known as Africa’s First World War. The decision made by Sambi’s parents saved the entire family. In case you missed it, Albert Sambi Lokonga has similar family roots to these footballers.

Youri Tielemans Biography, Age, Father, Wife, Career, Net Worth & Wiki

In this category are Belgians such as Christian Benteke, Dedryck Boyata, Romelu Lukaku, Christian Kabasele, Michy Batshuayj and Youri Tielemans. From the non-Belgian side, we found these names (European footballers) with Congolese heritage.

Kevin Mbabu, Claude Makelele, Denis Zakaha, and ex-Chelsea star Jose Bosingwa are among them.

After reaching compulsory school age, he was inducted into a learning system that suited him. Back then, he learned the game of football in the Pre-Javez neighborhood, which is where he mastered it. His eldest brother (aged 16) had just joined a big London club – Tottenham Hotspur academy – before Sambi began his soccer education at Anderlecht.

Paul-Jose M’Poku had a disastrous career with the Spurs. Sambi Lokonga’s parents considered it a grave mistake to send their 16-year-old son to England at that age.

Desire Lokonga (his mother) and Josee Lokonga (his father) vowed never to repeat such a mistake. Paul-lose M’Poku’s failure at Spurs served as a cautionary tale for Sambi, who learned from his brother’s other mistakes.

The plan to move to England remained a target, but it would never come too early, say his mother and father. When this youngster reached the age of ten, he had already played so many games of street football that he had moved his childhood dream to the next level. Sambi, aged ten in the year 2010 and following a successful trial, got enrolled with Anderlecht’s youth academy after a successful trial.

It has also been suggested that he would also be eligible to join Standard Liege – an academy that has produced stars such as M’Poku’s older brother (Paul-lose M’Poku) and Axel. He was astonished to find out that his sibling did not want to join the same academy as him.

During an interview with the media, Sambi revealed the reason why his parents refused him to join his brother’s club. He explained it as follows:

My father decided not to put us in the same club so that we do not have to compete with each other.  If I were to imagine for a moment that my brother has a problem with Standard Liege’s management, I might suffer the consequences in the future.

The young prodigy worked his way up through the ranks at Anderlecht in a similar manner to Leander Dendoncker. Through his dedication and hard work, Sambi has emerged as the most important player in his age group as a result of his dedication and hard work.

There was only one other player who could match up with Sambi in that Anderlecht academy. This is none other than Jeremy Doku, the brilliant striker from Nigeria. When it comes to speed dribbling with arrogance – especially as a way of annoying opponents, Doku does it better than anyone else I’ve seen.

The most advanced midfielder in the Anderlecht youth system was Albert Sambi, who was considered the best player in the midfield. The playmaking abilities of Sambi propelled him to graduation in the year 2018 as a result of his deep-lying playmaking ability.

As soon as the midfield prodigy graduated from the Anderlecht academy, he immediately became one of the pillars of the first team for Anderlecht. In the short-term, Lokonga sees himself as a deep-lying and playmaking leader – as opposed to an advanced midfielder. After retiring as a player from Manchester City, the Legend got a job as a player-coach at Royal Sporting Club Anderlecht.

From the moment he got the job as a manager, Vincent Kompany began having an integral role in Lokonga’s professional life. In one day, the captain of Anderlecht – the person who is Hendrik Van Crombrugge – got injured seriously. Kompany chose Lokonga, despite Lokonga’s advancing age, to lead the Belgian club.

Prior to the decision, no one knew who Sambi Lokonga was – as the kind of guy who didn’t give big speeches in the dressing room. Even though he had a personality of his own, everyone wanted him to lead the team- all because of the exceptional qualities he possessed on the field.  In fact, wearing the captain’s armband was a tremendous honor for him. As a captain of his club, Lokonga had his first taste of leadership in no time.

As a result, he was able to sort out a noisy quarrel between himself and two of his teammates – Lukas Nmecha and Michel Vlap – on the pitch. The fact that one is a leader of the team also comes with added scrutiny – something Lokonga has experienced.

At one point in time, he found himself at the center of controversy once upon a time. The fans accused Sambi of disrespecting the rainbow armband issued by the league. As a captain, Sambi Lokonga has shown a lack of support for the LGBTQ community by covering their rainbow captain band with Anderlecht’s usual white armband.

His actions resulted in anger on the part of the League, as was expected. They summoned Lokonga to explain what he had done – whether it was because of a superstitious belief or whether he had done it deliberately due to his dislike of LGBT. Sambi had promised to wear the rainbow armband in the next match as a gesture of peace.

After watching the controversy surrounding Sambi, the Arsenal manager decided to cast his summer transfer nets into the Belgian sea this summer. It was initially Arteta’s intention to bring Houssem Aouar to the Emirates, but then he changed his mind when he was tempted by a deal with Lokonga.

A few days ago, on the 19th day of July 2021, the news (Arsenal signed Albert Sambi Lokonga from Anderlecht) became the headline for the day. As a result of his signing, Sambi will join the likes of Nuno Tavares, who also signed for the London big boys – around the summer of 2021. In addition, he would be proud to have a partnership with Thomas Parley and Smith Rowe – a deadly midfield combination that can lead to goals.

There was no doubt that the time was right for him to join the London club. In addition to Sambi Lokonga’s parents, his older brothers must have also given him their blessings. Thus, there is a high probability of success in the English Premier League. I believe that one day, Sambi will be as dominant in midfield as Vaya Toure and Kevin De Bruyne are right now.

If he is given some trust by the coach as well as the supporters, there is no doubt that he would develop into a superstar.  This is the reason why Arsenal signed Sambi Lokonga. Gunners’ recruitment policy has been rightly scrutinized in recent years due to bad transfer decisions made by the club.

Even so, the signing of Lokonga might be a sign of a change for the better for the team. Besides being a passer, he is also a schemer and a reader of the game. In short, the rest of Sambi’s biography can be considered history.

It is one of the best feelings in the world for a footballer to be able to find a person they love (especially after they have made it to the top). In Sambi’s case, he is (at the time of writing this) on the lookout for a girlfriend or a spouse. We can expect that in the near future, his career at Arsenal will stabilize. We think that (very soon), Sambi may make public who his girlfriend or wife to be will be.

It is not unlikely that the Bailer will want to have children since he is likely to have third-generation footballers in his family. Who is Sambi, apart from everything related to football? This section will reveal some more facts that will help you get to know him better.

First of all, do you love animals in general? If you do, then you are not alone. In fact, Sambi is one of the biggest animal lovers around. That is something we noticed during one of his visits to Saif Ahmad Belhasa, who is a billionaire and entrepreneur in Dubai.

In his spare time, Sambi enjoys relaxing by the poolside, as well as playing football. This is because he always does that in order to reduce stress and speed up the recovery process.

During this time, Sambi keeps all by himself – in the hopes of restoring his inner strength – in order to strengthen himself. For Sambi, it doesn’t matter whether he is on the water or in the desert. This Belgian is well acquainted with dolphin behaviors, and when it comes to interacting with the friendly aquatic mammal, he certainly knows how to do it.

It has been shown that he is not someone who is excessively proud of his fortunes, according to research. Sambi is another one of those people who dislikes talking about his wealth in terms of self-gratification.

It is clear, however, that he knows how to spend his money well. This is evident from the cars that we see around him. In one of his inspirational videos that contain a combination of his personality and lifestyle, we spotted what looks like Sambi’s car in one of the clips. Truly, the Belgian is a man of class.

One quality of a close-knit household is the fact that they lean on each other in moments of need – and always have each other’s back. Sambi’s family is a circle of strength and love.

We will tell you more about the immediate and extended family (relatives) of our subject in this section of our biography. So without further ado, let’s get started.

It is believed that football begins with the head of the house as far as the family is concerned. Sambi’s father – Desire Lokonga – started out as a professional footballer in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Football is a sport he knows inside out since he is a man who knows the intricacies of the game.

When the First Congo War broke out in his country, he had no choice but to focus on saving his family and not his career.
Desire found it hard to deal with retirement from football in the long run. In response, he vowed to continue living his dreams with the help of his three sons.

It would seem that managing a family made up of male footballers (both active and retired), including daughters, would also be a challenge. Thankfully, Sambi’s mother – losee Lokonga – sees it as a manageable situation. In the last few years, she has come a long way. She is the mother that everyone wishes they had.

One of the most popular of his siblings is Fabrice, and the other is Paul-lose. In spite of the fact that they aren’t as social as the Pogba brothers, these men have their own style or swagger that sets them apart from others.

The middle one of the siblings, Fabrice, is the one who is less popular than the two. He is three years younger than Paul-lose (his older brother) and four years older than Albert – the man whose life is the subject of this biography. The tallest of Albert’s brothers is Fabrice while the strongest of his brothers is Albert himself. In addition to that, he is also believed to be the widest – thanks to his claim that he did Taekwondo when he was a child.

In this section of our Bio, you can learn more about Albert Sambi Lokonga’s brothers. We will begin with Paul-lose M’Poku – the eldest member of the family.

The 19th day of April 1992 was the day on which he was born in Kinshasa, Zaire (DR Congo). His age makes him seven years older than his little brother – who is the focus of our Biography. Paul-lose, unlike his younger brothers Fabrice and Albert, bears the surname Mpoku instead of Fabrice.

In spite of having his family nationalize in Belgium (and being a Belgian citizen himself), Paul chose to play football for his motherland, the Democratic Republic of Congo. When I was filling out this biography, he (a winger) had just signed for the Turkish club – Konyaspor.

It was once upon a time that football witnessed a rivalry between the sons of Josee and Desire. There was a period between 2017 and 2020 when Albert and Paul competed against each other with their Anderlecht and Standard Liege shirts. Although they were blood brothers, they did not compete under the same flag. Sometimes, we tend to overlook the fact that there is a third brother. Fabrice was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the same country as his elder brother Paul-Jose Mpoku.

Aleksandar Mitrović Biography, Age, Height, Career, Net Worth & Wiki

He was welcomed into the world by Desire and Losee on the 8th of January 1995, which means that he is four years older than Albert. In addition to his elder and younger brothers, Fabrice is also a footballer – though he has not had the same success as them. At the time that I am writing this bio, he is playing for Erpeldange, a football club in Luxembourg.

The records from sources suggest that his name was Eliezer Mpoku. He is the little cousin of Albert Sambi, and he is a defensive midfielder born in 2001. Eliezer Mpoku chose not to leave DR Congo for Belgium, but rather to settle in Switzerland, his country of birth.

Melissa is the name that she goes by. The beautiful lady is Paul-Jose M’Poku’s wife. There is research that indicates that she – together with her husband – loves to go on desert tours. One of those holiday trips was during the time when Melissa was pregnant with their son, Isaiah. As a wife to her husband, Melissa Mpoku is more than just that. Our research revealed that she once played the role of a fitness trainer – to her lover – while conducting the survey.

His name is Isaiah M’Poku, and he is the son of Paul-Jose M’Poku and Melissa M’Poku. It is important to note that Isaiah is more than just a nephew to Sambi. He often refers to him as his son because of his close relationship with him. Isaiah is most likely to be the first member of his family’s third generation to become a professional footballer. It should not be forgotten that Samba’s father was a former professional footballer.

In the context of his first visit to Congo – as a professional footballer, he had the opportunity to enjoy his parents’ hometown. During the visit, Sambi got a chance to meet his extended family for the first time. The information from the internet indicates a lack of documentation about the identity of Samba’s relatives. However, one thing is certain: they are the backbone of his supporters back in Congo, and they form the grassroots of the movement.

Danny Welbeck has been Sambi’s nickname for a long time. The reason for this is that he has the same hair cut as the ex-Manchester United and Arsenal striker. He also has Danny Welbeck’s old Arsenal number 23 on his jersey, in case you weren’t aware of that.

Mind you, that is not the only nickname he goes by. As a reflection of his first name, Albert, his friends also refer to him as Babert or Alberto. The name Simbi was given to him by his mother, and there is no doubt that she could have done a better job! Speaking about the reason for the name, the Bailer said;

She told me that they called quite a few kings in the past by that name.

As a final word, fans nicknamed Simbi Mister Cool, because he looks relaxed all the time. During the time that he spent with Anderlecht, Sambi wore the number 48 for a reason. He is using that number to refer to the postcode of his town – NDLA: 4800.

The Lokonga family has lived in Verviers, a town that has contributed to Sambi’s success, for years. The other day, on a beautiful Thursday evening, Simbi received a prestigious award from his hometown, Verviers, in which he received the Lean Voisin Trophy. Verviers is a town that never forgets its heroes.

Lokonga is very religious, as are many footballers with Congo African roots. Since he believes in the Christianity faith and the raising of their hands to signal – a sign of praise to God – is not an issue with him.

Albert Sambi Lokonga Net Worth

How much does he earn in 2023?

As announced in July 2021, the midfielder signed a contract with Arsenal that nets him a whopping salary of 2.2 million euros (1.8 million pounds) per year. I have crunched the numbers, so it appears he is earning €6,027 (£5,241) per day and €251 (£218) per hour!

The 24-year-old Belgian joined Arsenal in the summer of 2021 for a reported sum of £18,00,000. From then until now, his market value has dropped to around €16,000,000 (£13,500,000). The center midfielder is estimated to have a net worth of €3 million (£2.6 million).

FAQs

Conclusion

Albert Sambi Lokonga was born into a football family. The father of the boy, Desire Lokonga, was a former footballer who had his career in the Democratic Republic of the Congo before the First Congo War began.

As Sambi was living a much-improved life in Belgium, Losee (his mother) and Desire (his father) gave birth to him. Desire struggled with retirement at the time, so he made sure that Sambi and his brother lived up to the family dream.

Sambi’s elder brother, Paul-Jose M’Poku, ensured that he learned life values from his elder brother. When it came to his siblings (including Fabrice, his immediate younger sibling), he was the one who led by example -and by example, he created a picture of what can be achieved.

This didn’t happen without Paul making career mistakes and ensuring that his brothers view his mistakes as a potential learning experience. Now that Sambi has made the right decision, he is extremely glad – that he has made the right choice. Sambi’s success would not have been possible without the help of his parents and big brothers.

Ferjani Sassi Biography, Age, Salary, Stats, FIFA 22, Net Worth & Wiki

Early Career

When he was 8 years old, Shikabala enrolled in Zamalek SC’s youth program. He made his debut for the squad in a cup game at the beginning of 2002, and at the age of 16, he scored the game-winning goal. Since then, he has stayed with the first team squad, although due to his little playing time and lack of a professional contract, he was free to leave Zamalek and join PAOK FC for no transfer fee in January 2005.

He spent one rather successful season with PAOK, but despite the Greek club’s persistent insistence that Shikabla stay there till the conclusion of his contract in 2009, he later returned to Zamalek for the 2006–07 campaign in order to complete army obligations in Egypt.

Club Career

Zamalek

Shikabala first arrived in Egypt from Greece in January 2007 amid controversy after joining sworn enemies Al Ahly. Shikabala subsequently claimed, “I wanted to go back to Zamalek, but at this time they had numerous administrative issues and they refused to sign me. Shikabala was persuaded to join Zamalek by teammate Gamal Hamza and Zamalek chairman Mamdouh Abbas after the greatest transfer got viral.

Zamalek scored the game-winning goal in a 1-0 victory in his second club appearance, giving Shikabala an incredible start. Shika rapidly established himself as a starter for Henri Michel, ultimately taking the position of club icon and fan favorite Hazem Emam.

Shikabala had already established himself as the ultimate fan favorite for the Zamalek supporters’ curva sud section at the start of the 2007–08 season. Before each game, the crowd would yell his name and sing songs just for him.

He had a difficult season in which Zamalek struggled in the league, and he was subject to a lengthy suspension when Al Ahly supporters yelled obscenities at him in the 100th Cairo derby, to which he responded by elevating his shoes in their direction. He did end the year on a more positive note, as Zamalek won the cup, the team’s first trophy in four years, and concluded the year as champions.

Shikabala missed the start of the 2008–09 campaign because FIFA had suspended him for making an unauthorized transfer to Zamalek. He returned in good form in late November, but Zamalek once again had a disappointing season and placed sixth in the league.

The next season was the same until Zamalek hired Hossam Hassan in December 2009, who gradually brought the team out of obscurity and into a position where they could routinely contend for championships.

Shikabala eventually reached his playing potential and began to develop under Hassan’s tutelage. Prior to that, he was highly erratic, drifted in and out of games, and occasionally was totally ineffectual despite scoring amazing goals and doing intricate dribbles.

Since rejoining the squad in 2007, Shikabala has become a favorite of the Zamalek supporters and the team’s standout player. The management turned down multiple bids for him, most notably from Anderlecht, and made him the highest-paid player in Egypt’s history while the fans adore him.

Although the squad is centered around Shikabala, who is renowned for his abilities, the fans adore him. But his most recent display of disrespect was when, after being replaced, he got into a fight with club legend and former coach Hassan Shehata. Shehata made the decision to remove him from the squad and requested that he be sold right now.

Sporting CP

On January 29, 2014, it was revealed that Shikabala had agreed to a 700,000 dollar contract with Sporting CP in Portugal and will go there the following day to have a physical and sign an official contract.

There were several issues with the negotiations between Shikabala, Sporting, and Zamalek in the final hours of the January transfer window, but with only three minutes left, they came to an agreement on a deal for 700,000 US dollars plus 5% of any future sales should Sporting decide to sell Shikabala to another club. Shikabala made the choice to don the Sporting jersey with the number 7.

On February 16, 2014, against Tondela, Shikabala made his debut for the reserve squad. After suffering a slight ankle injury, he was replaced 28 minutes into the game after having begun the game.

Shikabala played relatively little for the squad, only making a few appearances for the reserve team and one for the first team, and was benched for most of the next season.

His goal against Azores XI during the Pedro Pauleta Trophy, which gave Sporting CP a 2-1 victory and set a new record for live viewers on the team’s website, was his most significant contribution.

International Career

On June 3, 2007, Shikabala made his debut for his country against Mauritania in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. Shikabala has made multiple appearances for the national team throughout significant moments in modern Egyptian history, although never had a significant role. He participated in one game while representing Egypt at the 2010 African Cup of Nations, where they won for the seventh time overall and third time in a row.

In 2010, he made the decision to leave the international football scene, citing the racial taunts he had received from Al Ahly supporters during the Cairo derby and declaring that he did not want to deal with such circumstances in international matches.

However, on August 8, 2012, manager Bob Bradley called him up for friendlies against Benin and Cameroon.

Shikabala missed three years of Egypt’s national team action after being part of the team during the 2014 African Nations Championship qualification run. On November 12, 2017, he was reintegrated into the team, and in Egypt’s last World Cup qualifying match against Ghana, he scored his first competitive goal. He was included in Egypt’s final 23-man roster for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia in June of that year.

FAQs

Best Belgian professional footballer Arthur Nicolas Theate (born 25 May 2000) currently plays for Serie A club Bologna as a defender and also for the Belgian national team. Theate was born in Liege, Belgium, but started his career at the KRC Genk youth academy before switching to Standard Liège. In addition to representing Standard at the U-17 level, he represented Genk at the U-19 level, and finally both clubs at the U-21 level. His move to KV Oostende was completed in July 2020, and he made his senior debut in August 2020.

Having played 37 games across all competitions in 2020/21, Bologna swooped in to secure Theate on loan with an obligation to buy set at 6 million euros. It seems certain that Theate will remain at Bologna for at least another year despite speculation about his future. Since his new contract is only for 3 seasons, it suggests that both player and club are unspokenly agreeing he will move on soon.

Football Career

Theate’s statistical profile from this past season provides an indication of the type of player he is. He ranks highest in interceptions, pressures, and progressive actions. It indicates he is an active defender who is also competent with the ball in his hands. This season, Theate started 28 of Bologna’s 38 league games, adding three more substitute appearances for a total of 2424 league minutes.

Except for a couple of cameos at left-back, he mostly played on the left side of a back three, mainly alongside Gary Medel and Adama Soumaoro. Theate’s role in possession is to link the defense with the midfield, either by making line-breaking passes straight to his midfielders or by beating the opposition forward and laying the ball off to them.

His season heatmap from 21/22 (courtesy of Sofascore) also shows that he starts wide (almost where a left back would play in a back four), with the wing-back on that side moving higher up the pitch. Theate’s passes have excellent weight and direction for a center-back.

It is often his passes that instruct the receiver on what to do next, an invaluable skill. His ball-striking is also fluid, and he tends to generate good power with minimal backlift.

Additionally, this allows him to process extra information, and adapt if necessary, for an extra half-second or so. Theate also has a good switch pass aimed at the widest player on the right flank, which he uses sparingly at the moment. This skill may be more evident in a team that emphasizes dragging the opposition to one side and quickly switching.

Although Theatre’s passing is a cut above that of the average center-back, his ball carrying is what makes him stand out. In tight areas, he is deceptively quick and skillful, and he has a burst of acceleration from a standing start. He often takes opposition players by surprise, so he uses this to start attacks by driving into midfield before shifting the ball to a teammate at the right time.

When the ball is at his feet, Theate displays solid ability even in more advanced areas. His 4.08 passes into the final third per 90 place him in the 83rd percentile for center-backs in Europe’s top 5 leagues. In addition, he ranked in the top 25 percent of center-backs for both progressive passes and progressive carries per 90 minutes.

In comparison, Virgil van Dijk put up 3.30 and 3.19. Among a back three, Bologna is able to accommodate theate’s game quite well; with two defenders covering him, some of his weaker moments are hidden. At this point, his proactiveness shows itself to be a strength, but it could turn into a weakness if he plays in a two. Sometimes he’s caught out of position when trying to win the ball higher up the field, leaving a gap behind him.

It is likely that a system shift would reduce these to some extent, but that trade-off may be worth it or not. There is one weakness in Theate’s game that is not team-dependent, and that is his ability in the air. With a 45.9% success rate in aerial duels, he ranks in the 3rd percentile for center-backs in Europe’s top 5 leagues.

The fact that he is 6 ft 2 in tall makes this even more puzzling. It’s hard to tell what is a ‘success’ and what is a ‘failure’ in an aerial duel because it’s subjective and can involve retaining possession.  Especially as a center-back, Theate excels at disrupting attackers when the ball is on the ground. When it comes to aerial competition, Theate doesn’t exactly shine.

Starting from a stationary position makes it difficult for him to dominate opponents, even though he wins many duels with a running start. In some cases, his errors can be attributed to misjudging the ball’s flight, while in others. He is outmuscled by a physically stronger forward. Additionally, he tends to get a bit handsy when jumping.

That intelligent forwards use to buy fouls and win free kicks. He was called up to the senior Belgium squad for the 2021 UEFA Nations League Finals. In a World Cup qualifier against Wales on 16 November 2021, he made his debut.

Life Journey

However, we realize that only a few football fans had stumbled upon a concise Life Story of Kevin Volland. We prepared a brief profile for you. Without further ado, let’s begin. For starters, he goes by the nickname Volley. Kevin Volland was born in the city of Marktoberdorf, Germany on the 30th day of July 1992 to Anita Volland and Andreas Volland.

Among the three children born to his parents, the German footballer was the first to be born. Kevin Volland spent part of his childhood in the German city of Marktoberdorf. His siblings are a brother named Robin and a sister named Jenny Volland.

Kevin took it upon himself to take good care of his younger siblings; Robin and Jenny, as the firstborn of his parents. The time spent with his siblings was practically heaven for Kevin. In the first few years of their lives, they had nothing but fond memories, which he shared mostly with his brother, Robin.

Anita and Andreas’ sons shared some memorable moments as children. This is Kevin and Robin’s favorite memory from their childhood. To begin with, the German footballer comes from a sporting family. Did you know that? Kevin’s father, Andreas Volland, was a professional hockey player for the German national team.

During his youth, the proud Dad instilled a love of sports in his children – but allowed them the option to choose. According to research, professional hockey pays well in Germany. Salary ranges between 40,000 and 200,000 Euros (Tax-Free) in the sport. The footballer hails from Marktoberdorf, a German city that is the capital of the Bavarian district of OstaIlgau. As far as we know, Kevin is the most notable person from his metropolis.

Marktoberdorf, which has a population of 18,725, is known for its computer science education. In addition, the urban area hosts the International Chamber Choir Competition, a famous religious gathering. Anita and Andreas enrolled their sons at EV Flissen about 30 kilometers away from their family home.

The parents wanted to encourage their children to take part in sports education. Thus, the inseparable Volland brothers attended the same school. When they returned home from school, they only had one sport to play after school: soccer. They played it one on one in their parent’s basement garden. Kevin and Robin began their ice hockey education with EV Fussen, following in the footsteps of their father.

Even though Robin is two years younger than Kevin, his parents made him join Kevin’s team with special permission from the school. In that way, their mother (Anita) didn’t have to go back and forth (four times by train) to pick up the boys after training was over. Young Kevin played hockey in his childhood.

In their spare time (when they were not playing Ice hockey for EV Flissen), the brothers practiced at FC Thalhofen, a Sports complex in Marktoberdorf, close to their family home. Kevin was the first boy among the boys to become more enthusiastic about football.

In addition to his father’s trade, he was more ambitious than Robin in trying out other sports. The two of them decided to quit ice hockey and focus on football. As a result, they continued to play for FC Thalhofen. During his ten years there, Kevin laid the foundation of his career before joining FC Memmingen in the year 2005. During that year, the brothers separated for the first time, with Robin continuing to work with Thalhofen.

Volland married long-term girlfriend Katja Fichtl in June 2017 and they welcomed their first child, a girl, in March 2018.

Life Journey

In this biography, we provide you with information about Juan Cuadrado’s Childhood Story, Early Life, Parents – Marcela Bello Guerrero (Mother) and Guillermo Cuadrado (Father), Family, Wife, Children, Net Worth, Lifestyle, and Personal Life.

We analyze Juan Cuadrado’s history in a nutshell. It is the story of Pacey Colombian football player known as “Vespa.” Yes, everyone knows he is a versatile player who loves Juventus and declines other juicy Chinese offers.

Although Juan Cuadrado’s biography is highly acclaimed, it is not widely known among soccer fans. Let us now begin without further ado.

Juan Cuadrado Family Background And Early Life Struggles

On the 26th of May 1988, Juan Guillermo Cuadrado Bello was born in Necocli, Colombia.

In English, Juan Cuadrado is translated as John Square. He was born to Marcela Bello Guerrero, his mother (a housekeeper), and the late Mr. Guillermo Cuadrado, his father (a truck driver). A native of Tumaco, Columbia, Juan was raised there. Growing up, he was a Manchester United fan.

Father’s Death At Early Age

When Juan Cuadrado was just four years old, his father, Guillermo, was murdered by an armed gang.

When his truck driver’s dad was shot, poor Cuadrado hid under the bed as ordered by his mother. Consequently, his mother, Marcela, had to raise him alone with great courage. The murderers of Guillermo were never brought to justice.

His father’s death was followed by civilian massacres linked to the country’s decades-old civil war. Both Juan and his mother were later separated when she was hired to manage an ice cream shop. Her son was left with the teachers at his football school and with his grandmother, and she sent him food that she purchased with her wages.

Marcela also sold bananas after work in order to provide food for her family and save money for her son’s future. Juan would also assist his mother in packing bananas after school to make ends meet. Juan enjoyed putting special export stickers on bananas while his mother Marcela struggled to earn enough money to provide for her family. It was her responsibility to wash and pack the fruits.

He may have grown up faster as a result of the death of his father. In the early 1990s, when violence among notorious Colombian drug gangs was rife, Juan’s childhood friends say football was an escape from the harsh realities of life. Juan’s mother once stated in an interview that he had to be a perfect student in order to play football, which they viewed as a means of escape from poverty.

Juan Cuadrado’s Rise To Fame

Juan experienced a miracle when he was 13 years old. Upon being scouted by Athletico Uraba as a future soccer star, he relocated 300 miles away from home. Cuadrado began his club career at Atlético Uraba, where he primarily played as a forward.

Cuadrado, however, took on a midfield role as a recommendation of club founder Nelson Gallego. Cuadrado’s confidence grew to such a high level that he rose above all other youth football ranks. As a result, he was sent to Colombia’s second-division club Rionegro, where he showed even more of his potential as a world-class player.

He was eventually signed by Medellin in 2008, which enabled him to make the transition to European football. Cuadrado lived with his family in Florence as of July 2014. As the saying goes, the rest is history.
