00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:11.199
<v Speaker 2>Welcome in.

2
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:15.039
<v Speaker 1>It's time for another one v one on the SDH network.

3
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm Jason Longshore and today I'm joined by brand new

4
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:23.039
<v Speaker 1>Carolina core attacker Anthony Sumo Junior. Anthony, thanks for taking

5
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:23.920
<v Speaker 1>some time for us today.

6
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much for having me in. Jason, I'm

7
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:26.839
<v Speaker 2>grateful to be here.

8
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I've known you for a long time through your exploits

9
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>in UPSL Georgia and the NPSL with Apathios. How did

10
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>everything come about for you to end up in MLS

11
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>next Pro with Carolina this year?

12
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.079
<v Speaker 3>First of all, before I say anything, I just want

13
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 3>to say I'm grateful and thankful to God because he

14
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Speaker 3>is him in the strength and the perseverance to be

15
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 3>able to get through all the obstacles that was in

16
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:57.439
<v Speaker 3>a way, and looking back at it, it's just been

17
00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 3>hard work and putting my faith in God. Just hard

18
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 3>work and working hard. Like because Bruno, which you know,

19
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 3>he always told me, hey, everybody has talent, everybody can

20
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:08.959
<v Speaker 3>pass the ball, everybody can drive the ball.

21
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Is whoever wants that the most, that's who's going to

22
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>get it.

23
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 3>So he told me, he is like, hey, before you

24
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:16.760
<v Speaker 3>get out of here, you got to you gotta be

25
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 3>the difference. You have to score, you have to score goals,

26
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.120
<v Speaker 3>you have to assist goals, you have to do those things.

27
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 3>If you're not doing these things here, what makes you

28
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 3>think you're going to do at the next level.

29
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:30.719
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that level of consistency that is always that

30
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 1>challenge going from one level to the next. How much

31
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>has that journey that has been not a crazy long one,

32
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>but a time where you've been a consistent goal scorer

33
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>in UPSL, You've been a consistent goal scorer for KSA

34
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 1>And how does that make you a better player today?

35
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>It's just being consistent.

36
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.000
<v Speaker 3>I think playing football, if you want to be a professional,

37
00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:59.120
<v Speaker 3>you have to be consistent.

38
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 2>That's what separate you from the other people.

39
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 3>Because Bruno always told me, hey, if you're not scoring

40
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker 3>two or three goals every game, I don't think you're.

41
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:10.439
<v Speaker 2>Gonna go anywhere.

42
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 3>So the moment you realize that you start scoring two

43
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 3>three goals in a game, then we can start talking

44
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 3>about other places.

45
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>So, yeah, you mentioned Bruno Kolangi a few times. How

46
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 1>important has he been in your career?

47
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:29.319
<v Speaker 3>He's well, he was one of the reasons that I'm

48
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:33.639
<v Speaker 3>still playing soccer today because when I moved across country

49
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:35.319
<v Speaker 3>from like Bear to the United States.

50
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Life got very hard.

51
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.120
<v Speaker 3>It was very difficult, and putting my faith in God,

52
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.120
<v Speaker 3>praying and trusting in him that stuff is going to happen.

53
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 3>Because Brunan brought me into his home, He brought me

54
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.759
<v Speaker 3>into his family. He took care of me, He mentored me,

55
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:53.400
<v Speaker 3>he taught me things, and he just kept me consistent.

56
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 3>He always reminded me to train hard. He always reminded

57
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.439
<v Speaker 3>me too, to work harder than other people. He always

58
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 3>reminded me to not listen to what other people are saying,

59
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.039
<v Speaker 3>just do just work hard. Yeah, he has been a mentor,

60
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 3>a mentor or father. He's been like everything to me.

61
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 3>So I'm very grateful and I'm very thankful to him

62
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 3>for helping me, for helping me grow, helping me develop.

63
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>And Yeah, I think something that has really stuck out

64
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.639
<v Speaker 1>to me over the past maybe twelve months and watching

65
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.599
<v Speaker 1>your game and watching your team play, is how much

66
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.560
<v Speaker 1>more complete you have gotten over the last year or so.

67
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, you've always been a goal scorer, no problem

68
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>with that, but the runs off the ball, the pressure

69
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 1>defensively creating opportunities for others. Has that been kind of

70
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>a focal point for you or is it something that

71
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 1>just comes with experience playing at a good level.

72
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 3>I think it's many things. I think experience I think

73
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 3>is for example, my dad played professional soccer and growing

74
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 3>up he always told me, hey, you were born to

75
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.680
<v Speaker 3>score goals. He was born to play soccer. Just go

76
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.560
<v Speaker 3>and play. You're going to figure it out. You came

77
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 3>from a professional soccer family. You're going to figure it out.

78
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 3>And I always been that type of player. Whenever I

79
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 3>go into an environment, I've been a great player always.

80
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:14.680
<v Speaker 3>But you have to fight for your spot. You have

81
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.800
<v Speaker 3>to show to whoever it is, that's that's the coach,

82
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.399
<v Speaker 3>assistant coach that And it was like that a kiss

83
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.160
<v Speaker 3>when I went there. There was many great players in KSA,

84
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 3>and I was. There's a few times I was on

85
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 3>the bench and Bruno would tell me, hey, if you

86
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 3>can't like you're a great player, you're talented, but when

87
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 3>you step on the field, you've got to be a difference.

88
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:36.439
<v Speaker 2>If you're not. If you cannot be a difference, it's

89
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:37.120
<v Speaker 2>not gonna work.

90
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the elements of KSA and the

91
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>way the club has come together at the pro profile

92
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 1>level and UPSL you know, you've had the chance to

93
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.879
<v Speaker 1>play next to quite a few guys who have played

94
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 1>professionally at a good level. But you know, lately, I

95
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 1>look at guys like Junior sound of All and Kareem Tamimi,

96
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:57.759
<v Speaker 1>two guys that I've known for a long time that

97
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 1>I've seen their games develop. How much did you learn

98
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.720
<v Speaker 1>from guys like that who have been in your shoes

99
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.279
<v Speaker 1>now to help get you here?

100
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:07.120
<v Speaker 2>A lot?

101
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Like just being in that environment training every day with

102
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:16.680
<v Speaker 3>these guys joining Son Devar, Yosef sam or Muhammad Grant.

103
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.639
<v Speaker 3>The lists go on and on Lagos, there's I can like,

104
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 3>there's a lot of people.

105
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of guys. It's just like just speaking

106
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 2>to them in practice every day.

107
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.360
<v Speaker 3>And I'm going back to Bruno because he would like

108
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.600
<v Speaker 3>he told me, hey, don't just sit with these people

109
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 3>and just chat with them and be friends with them.

110
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:37.879
<v Speaker 3>Ask them questions, ask them hey, or what are the

111
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.480
<v Speaker 3>reasons that you're here right now?

112
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Like what can I do to move to the next level?

113
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 3>Because they all have been there, they all know what

114
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 3>it's like to be there, and yeah, they're all help

115
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.040
<v Speaker 3>me develop my game. They're all help me in training.

116
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:53.079
<v Speaker 3>They'll all help me in practice games, whatever it was.

117
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.360
<v Speaker 3>They were all communicating with me and telling me, hey,

118
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 3>what you need to do to move up to get

119
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 3>to the next level. So yeah, I'm grateful and thankful

120
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 3>for these guys because Kisse provided that environment, that professional

121
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.480
<v Speaker 3>environment where I was able to go there and train

122
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.439
<v Speaker 3>hard every day from Monday to Thursday, sometimes Monday to Friday.

123
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 3>We lived a life of a professional at Kids. And

124
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 3>there's many, many, many many more players like me there, and.

125
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>There's gonna be many of those who are going to

126
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 1>get these kind of opportunities as well. Now you're in

127
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.079
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina and you're with a club that really turned

128
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of heads in MLS Next Pro last season

129
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.800

130

155
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:49.000
<v Speaker 3>When I first came here, I'm a natural winger and

156
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.319

00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:12.759
<v Speaker 3>excited to score goals.

182
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I think that's one of the cool things for you,

183
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:19.519
<v Speaker 1>being such a student of the game. And having learned

184
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>from your previous experiences to go now into a situation

185
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 1>where I mean the guys that you just mentioned, Donovan Ricketts,

186
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:29.919
<v Speaker 1>Andy Williams, Amado Guevara, Eddie Pope, you're talking about some

187
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>of the legends of legends in playing soccer, professional lands,

188
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:36.039
<v Speaker 1>country and all the lessons that they're going to provide

189
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>to you. I think the other aspect that's going to

190
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>be really cool for you getting to know the program

191
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and knowing Eddie Pope and what he's done in the

192
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.519
<v Speaker 1>community and the foundation that he runs. You know, you're

193
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:48.679
<v Speaker 1>going to be a role model. You know, what kind

194
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>of things do you when you get the chance to

195
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.039
<v Speaker 1>talk to kids who are wanting to be you down

196
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the line, what are the kind of things that you

197
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.679
<v Speaker 1>mentioned to them.

198
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:03.480
<v Speaker 3>I used to sing this song when I was little

199
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.840
<v Speaker 3>in church. I'm a Christian man and I always use

200
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.240
<v Speaker 3>a sing when Jesus say yes, no man can say no.

201
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.639
<v Speaker 3>And Cami moved migrating from Liberrier to the United States.

202
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.759
<v Speaker 3>Life are very difficult and not having paperwork, not having

203
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.399
<v Speaker 3>so many things. I was putting the uncomfortable situation in

204
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.679
<v Speaker 3>a difficult situation. When I graduated high school, South Whennette.

205
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:29.360
<v Speaker 3>I was one of the best player in the county

206
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.120
<v Speaker 3>and I had a lot of colleges after me, but

207
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:36.080
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't achieve my dreams because I had nothing.

208
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:41.759
<v Speaker 2>So I can. What I would tell kids is put your.

209
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.440
<v Speaker 3>Faith in God, work hard, and you're going to be

210
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:47.919
<v Speaker 3>like me, because that's all I did. If I can

211
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:51.759
<v Speaker 3>do it, they all can do it. Just trust in

212
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.480
<v Speaker 3>God and work hard every day. Because I was working

213
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.360
<v Speaker 3>hard every day. I was running miles, I was sprinting

214
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.440
<v Speaker 3>even I never knew what was at me. I was

215
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 3>one of those players that would go to training every

216
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.000
<v Speaker 3>day and knew that I didn't have papers to sign

217
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:10.559
<v Speaker 3>a contract, so I was just there just to be there.

218
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:13.360
<v Speaker 3>But I never give up. I never give up on

219
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.840
<v Speaker 3>my dreams. And with the help of Bruno Kalunji, he

220
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.960
<v Speaker 3>stayed with me. He taught me. He was on my

221
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:24.279
<v Speaker 3>back every day. Anthony, do not give up on your dreams.

222
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.840
<v Speaker 3>He is like your star. Just keep working hard, keep

223
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.639
<v Speaker 3>praying to God and keep working hard. So my message

224
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:32.399
<v Speaker 3>to all the kids out there, all the kids in

225
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:36.919
<v Speaker 3>the upsl all the kids everywhere, I can say I

00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.000

227
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.799
<v Speaker 3>keep fighting, It's gonna happen. Like, look at me, I'm

228
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.799
<v Speaker 3>in this situation right now. It's like a dream come

229
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:49.360
<v Speaker 3>true because if you look at me a year ago,

230
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:53.799
<v Speaker 3>two years ago, like I would never have thought I

231
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:56.320
<v Speaker 3>would be in this position because of the situation that

232
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:56.799
<v Speaker 3>I was in.

233
00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.279
<v Speaker 2>But if I can do it, I think anybody can

234
00:11:59.320 --> 00:11:59.600
<v Speaker 2>do it.

235
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm really happy for all your success, man, and I'm

236
