Re: Official - Adebayor
I'm impressed by Adebayor after watching this interview. He's been through a lot, some things many of us can only imagine. He's clearly over it and motivated in ways that really matter. While he was grieving and in emotional straits after the bus attack, he might have been tough to handle. But this interview projects the image of a man whose ready to make up for lost time.
If he truly believes what he says in this interview, he's a man who's regained his self esteem, his desire and his sense of purpose. He must be a strong presence amongst the players at training. When you think about the recent personal tragedy that Roberto Soldado and his wife have had to endure, and the effect it's bound to have had on his game, especially in the midst of a move to a new country and culture, it's hard to imagine how you'd find a stronger person to lean on for reassurance.
He always struck me as a bit of flake, a perpetual adolescent. Now, I see the makings of a leader.
