"I have a U14, U15, U16, U17 and U18, so I want support and maybe from this interview I can get opportunities and maybe partnerships with Real Madrid, or other big teams.
"You have to start from somewhere. Maybe I get an opportunity from lower divisions, I'm okay with that.
"Or maybe Jorge Mendes. Jorge Mendes is doing a lot for children, so maybe he is listening to me and can come and help my academy.”
Meanwhile, Dabo also expressed his desire to meet Cristiano Ronaldo and shake hands with him after visiting the studios of Marca TV.

He noted that he sees the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star as a big inspiration to every child from a humble background.
