From waiter to football player playing against CR7 in Champions

But to reach the moment at the pedestal, the attacker has never concealed that he has sacrificed and suffered much. “Gazzeta. Gr”, recall the history of the Egyptian boy.

The Uzun is turning into a star of Hungary's champions. Ferencevarosh spent 2m euros on the assailant who had scored 12 goals and 7 assets in 34 matches with Zagreb Lokomotive. To reward everything, the 25-year-old was important with the goal marked towards Dinamo Zagreb eliminating the latter and with another realisation of Moldes, to reach the Champions Groups. So far, in Hungary Uzun has achieved 1 goal and 4 assies in 4 championships.

To this glory, Uzun has sacrificed much. At the age of ten, my parents and two brothers migrated to Zakinthos for a better life. With the talent and sense of football, he enrolled in a local academy, where he also took his first lectures. At the same time, he helped his parents in Lokal as a waiter in the restaurant where they worked. He attended Greek school, but without having the opportunity for the Greek passport and at the age of 17 returns to Berat, his hometown to compete in football with his peers.

I woke up at five in the morning in Berat and in winter it was terribly cold, wondering if one day I could become football player”, Uzun was quoted as saying earlier in an interview. With Ronaldo as inspiration, Uzun managed to have the chance to play against him and Juvenus, just in the debut of the Champions' group.

Earlier, his journey could again be linked to Greece. Panionos were offered his services before Laci moved to Zagreb Locomotive, but refused.

This summer, before it was purchased by Ferenvaros, the Mayor was his choice, but everything got stuck and Uzun chose Hungary as a more promising team than he could climb among the best in Europe. Now, after Coronavirus and the minutes to Yu, in the Uzun Championships, he went home with a goal and two assist”, writes the media giant in Greece.
