The Jean-Marc Guillou academy in Ivory Coast is a training center like no other. The kids play barefoot from a very young age to refine ball control.
Out of 1,000 children seen, they only retain one. “Once in the academy, we keep them until the end, assures Adrien Gaignon. If it turns out that we are deceived about a potential, we assume responsibility,” he says. The mark of the football players trained by the academy is extraordinary technical mastery.
