Summary

AD Free listening, exclusive episodes and more: https://www.patreon.com/c/Footballforkids In this second episode of the Football For Kids “You’ve Got This” series, Darren Rees tells the incredible journey of Hugo Ekitike – from the streets of Reims to PSG, Frankfurt and finally a huge move to Liverpool FC. The 23-year-old striker has taken the Premier League by storm, scoring goals and showing why he’s one of Europe’s brightest forwards. But this episode isn’t just about football. It’s about something every child faces when starting a new class, school or even moving somewhere completely new: making friends. Darren shares how building friendships is just like football – it starts with bravery, passing the ball, and making the first move. From Mo Salah to Bukayo Saka, every star was once the “new kid,” and every friendship takes time to grow. With football history, life lessons, and encouragement for kids heading back to school, this episode is perfect for young football fans, parents and teachers. Whether on the pitch or in the classroom, the message is clear: be brave, be kind, and remember – you’ve got this. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
