It Takes a Village: Becoming Canadian. The Alphonso Davies Story.
Today, Alphonso Davies became a Canadian citizen and earned his first call-up to the senior men’s national team. This is his story. A story of hardship. A story of triumph. A story of Canada.
And 4 years later, Davies is one of the most expensive players in the world, and he is also a player with an enviable technique that many players currently lack, I am not Canadian but it is a pride that he is at Bayern münich and is the best concacaf player
Lifelong Bayern fan living in the US. Had the privilege to watch him in MLS, have watched his journey in Europe. Love his story, love his ability and effort. Very proud to be living in a world where I can watch him succeed.
When you have changed diapers and baby sat your brothers and sisters at 10 years old, there is no way you are not going to be A responsible human being. You know your struggle and you work with that! I am an African in Canada 🇨🇦, and I know what that means. I had friends who did that, and they sure are “those [guys, girls ]who are the real deal.” Great job Alphonso! You deserve all the success coming your way! Love your game to the moon and back. Thank goodness no one called CPS on the family.😊

Canada is such a great country. And Davies story shows that letting refugees in it's country is not only a burden but also a big chance.
