Both of them, when we were kids, played in the same way they do today, you know. [0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=7) And Sharky, no, Sharky, you haven't… Yeah, bro. [0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=9) No, but I mean, you've never found yourself one-on-one against him? [0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=12) Bro, what was it, was it in the U17s, when we played against them? [0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=15) Actually, you know, I had a certain confidence, basically, telling myself that yeah, I'd never been rinsed by anyone during the season, you know. [0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=21) And I remember, my mates, they'd tell me, “Hey, this weekend, you're playing against Sharky, right?” I'd say, “I don't give a fuck, I'm going to have, I'm going to…” Sorry, fuck. [0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=27) No, don't worry. I was like, "I don't give a damn, you know. [0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=31) Sharky or what, bro, he won't get past, you know." [0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=33) Except, you know, between Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday… [0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=35) You were thinking about it every day. Bro, you start getting nervous, you know. [0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=38) Actually, when the big day comes, Saturday, you think, "Wow! [0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=42) Like, imagine, he does something to you." [0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=43) You know Sharky, when he plays, he plays. Actually, he was playing left winger at that time, you know, right back. And when he plays, actually, he has freedom. [0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=48) He's free, actually. He played the whole match, 90 minutes without playing on the left. [0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=51) Oh yeah? I was so happy, bro. I was so happy. I swear on my mother's life, in that match, what does he do? [0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=56) He's in midfield. On the pitch, normally, you're not supposed to dribble too much, You keep it simple. He chipped it, you know, just like that, over a player. Boom! [1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=62) Like what? Like over him, just like that? [1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=64) Yeah, over him. Like a sombrero? Not even a pass or anything? [1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=66) On my mother's life. Did he get it back afterward? [1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=67) He got it back. And I don't lose any duels. No, none. [1:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=69) It's not like, you come across the video and you're the guy ? [1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=72) No, no, you can't. No, you can't find videos of me getting beaten by someone. No, there aren't any. [1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=75) No, it's all good, it's solid. There aren't any, there aren't any. Actually, what did Barcola do to me? He left me for dead. [1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=79) It's different. You know, when he's carrying the ball like that and you think you can get a touch on the ball. [1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=82) Yeah. And you stick your foot out, he lifts it, and he's gone. [1:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=84) But you didn't fall? No, I didn't fall. Ah, okay, okay. [1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BXEZ6BfWCpIz/en/facing-cherki-and-barcola-youth-football-memories?t=86) But he scored after that.
