A young boy was playing on the streets of Tychy, a small city in the south of Poland, in the late nineties. His mother was working hard to provide for him. His biological father did not play a role in his life. The young boy was up to no good sometimes, stealing candy, trying to smoke a cigarette. But this kid was also good at football. One day, a man from the neighborhood saw the young boy play football on the streets of Tychy. This man saw something in this kid and took him under his wing.
