Dion Lopy: "I'm of humble origin and that's my strength to be a footballer"

UD Almería defensive midfielder Dion Lopy talked about the current situation of the team and opened up in an interview with UDA Radio. The Senegalese footballer stated: 'I'm very happy here, it's true that the team is in a complicated situation, but we have to accept it and handle it as best as possible.' 

The interviewee stands out a lot on the pitch for his slow way of driving the ball. Regarding this aspect, he pointed out: 'It's my way of playing since I was little. My coach told me that I was very calm, but if I change my game then I wouldn't be the same,'. He also stressed: 'For now I'm doing well' and concluded by stating which footballers he looks up at: 'Pogba and Zubimendi are among the players I admire, I like them a lot.'  

The 22-year-old landed in Spain for the first time to play for UD Almería, and shortly after he realised that 'The Spanish LaLiga is the one for me, I don't regret having gone through France, but from the very first game, I realised that this football is perfect for my qualities. In French football you must be stronger and here, it's of higher quality and I can demonstrate my skills.' 

Dion Lopy also opened up with his UDA Radio colleagues: 'My life has been a little complicated, my family was quite humble, but that has been my strength; work hard to get ahead and that has always been instilled in me, work. When I was little I really liked football and I dedicated myself to it to be able to get my family and me out of that situation.' 

To conclude his interview, the Bambilor-born dared to speak in Spanish and said: 'Me gusta mucho Almería (I really like Almería).'
