Yeah, it’s been amazing. Looking back, I’m lost for words really, with everything that’s going on in my life, so I’m just taking it all in.
Yeah, I spoke to my parents. Actually, my mum called me yesterday and then my dad hopped on the phone, and he was like, “So you’re playing against your favourite player, I see.” And I went, “Yeah.” And then we both started laughing on the phone. And honestly we couldn’t even believe it, because he knows that I looked up to Messi when I was younger. And now, playing against him, it’s really nice.
Football means a lot to me. Football is something where you can have fun and take your mind off everything you have problems with off the field. Every time I step on the field, I just enjoy playing the game. Me being a professional footballer, that was my dream and my dream is coming true, so I’m very happy for that.
No, it hasn’t changed too much. I’m still the same person, still the same smiling Alphonso Davies. That was in Grade 4 when she said that. I’m happy to be the same person and always want to be the same person. I’ll stay the same person as I am.
Speed is what I’m good at, what I’m known for. I’m happy to have that part of my game. I’m happy to use that, on the attack, on the defence, and help my team as much as possible with it.
It was a great first step, coming into the academy, playing with the best kids throughout the province of Alberta. It was good, it was amazing for me. Then going up the rankings, playing with the second team and then making my debut at 15 with the first team, it was just incredible. I think it set me up really well for this opportunity.
I went to a football academy school, so every Wednesday or Tuesday, around 12 o’clock Edmonton time, we would watch it as a classroom. All of the footballers were in there, cheering on whoever they wanted to win. It was amazing, and now being able to play in the Champions League... Honestly, I’m lost for words – a dream come true.
Yeah, I mean we all know Chelsea is a great team, a great young team. We know the quality of players they have, especially on my side: Mason Mount, Reece James – he’s one of the fast guys in the Premier League. When they came on the attack, I just had to concentrate as much as possible, to try to do my job defensively. And going forward, the coach just told me, “If you have the opportunity, go for it.” So that’s what I tried to do as much as possible.
Yeah, I think the full-back is a big key in the game, especially in modern-day football now. The full-back can actually be an attacker as well. So, the role is changing dramatically throughout the modern game.
It’s going to be an incredible game. All I can say is that I am excited to play now and I’m sure everyone’s excited to watch as well.
I don’t know what to say, but we all know that he’s Messi. There aren’t many things that haven’t been said about him. So, coming into the game, I know that growing up I used to watch him all the time and now I’m defending against him; it’s going to be a whole different ball game. But for me, it’s just playing my game, changing nothing on my side and just hopefully doing my best against him. We know that he’s a great player, we’re not going to take that away from him, so the best you can do is try, I guess.
Definitely, I do think so. From the performances we’ve been putting on, I really think we can go all the way and win this. I have full confidence in the team, full confidence in the coaching staff, and I think we’re ready to fight.
