AftenpostenIndependent🔒CenterFactual 40Objective 608 days agoYan Diomandé, en ung kvinnefotballspiller fra Elfenbenskysten, har oppfylt drømmen om å spille profesjonell fotball ved å bli signert av Spania’s Leganés. Han hadde nettopp fått debut mot Real Madrid da han mottok triste nyheter om døden av lillesøsteren sin, Roxane, som var 15 år gammel. Dette skjer i en tid hvor han også er på vei til å bli en av de mest ettertraktede spillere i Tyskland, nå med RB Leipzig. Diomandé har en historisk bakgrunn preget av fattigdom og store drømmer, inkludert en flytting til USA som 15-åring for å studere og spille fotball.
