Dembélé’s glance at his mother summed it all up.

The scene in front of you is the most beautiful and luxurious scene that took place yesterday at the Golden Ball ceremony!

Ousmane Dembélé won the Golden Ball, and his mother, Mrs. Fatima, appeared with him on stage during the award ceremony.

So what is the story behind this lady?

She suffered greatly in her life because when Ousmane Dembélé turned 7, she separated from his father

and traveled with her children to his country, Afro, in the Normandy region, where she was forced to work as a street vendor!

Dembélé said that his mother is the real heroine in his story because the area where they lived was full of riots by young people his age.

But his mother was able to protect him and did not let them leave the house except to go to school or practice.

She moved with him step by step, to the point that his coach at the Afro club said that Ousmane always bowed his head when he heard his mother’s advice.

That’s why the scene in front of you is historic.

Othman’s father is crying because he sees his son as the best person in the world.

He is crying because he sees the fruits of his labor, sacrifices, and good upbringing under extremely difficult circumstances.

Dembele’s gaze at his mother summed it all up.

If it weren’t for you, Mom, I wouldn’t be here.

Let everyone know that my mother is the real hero of this story.

They said I was finished, they laughed at me when I fell, they said I was fragile, they said my injuries were chronic, they said I was a wasted talent.

What they didn’t see were the nights I cried in silence, the pain I felt, the moments I was on the verge of giving up.

They never saw the hours of rehabilitation, the loneliness, the doubts that almost destroyed me.

That Golden Ball is not just an award to me, it is a symbol of resilience and survival, every scar, every loss, every night I didn’t sleep.

All of these things brought me here. The Golden Ball shines brightly, but my journey was built in darkness.

To everyone who believed in me after the world decided to turn its back on me… This is for you… And to those who doubted me.

Thank you. You made me stronger.

– Ousmane Dembélé
