Hume, reflecting on his career, noted his path differed substantially from many others.he wasn’t selected early and faced rejection, but he believes his hard work ultimately earned him a move to England and a place in Sunderland’s squad as they progressed from League One.
“I like to think I deserve the opportunity that I’ve got,” Hume said.He added that Sunderland provided him with the necessary time to adapt, and he capitalized on his chance when it came.
Ballard, who joined Arsenal’s academy at age 8, believes individual effort is paramount. He pointed to Trai as an example of a player who thrived despite lacking top-tier facilities early in his career. “You have to put the work in yourself,” Ballard said. “No amount of facilities of coaches at that young age are going to turn you into a good player.”
