The beginning of history

Seydou Doumbia was born in the city of Abidjan. He had a very poor family. Parents had to somehow feed four children, because the football player had three more brothers. Nowadays the well-known attacker at that time had to starve and be poor, and to earn at least a little money for food, he sold handkerchiefs while standing on the street. However, it is correctly said - miracles happen. One day, when the boy was playing in the street, he was seen by Olivier Coutua, who was the chairman of the football school called Santr Formación d'Interne. The chairman himself says that he was walking to one business district, when suddenly he noticed Seydou Doumbia. He told him that he must be at school in the afternoon. At that moment the boy showed the chairman handkerchiefs. Then he realized that he was simply obliged to help the suffering boy. So Seydou Doumbia and was in a football school.

He constantly listens to African rhythms, this inspires him. And his computer is always with him.
