It all happened so fast” | Freddy Adu Opens Up About His Rise And Fall And Discusses What’s Next

[Coach]

As time went by, Freddy, exercised his nature, becoming an absolute Kofi phenotypically.

[Mr. Piffington]

Can't believe it was 20 years ago when this guy's name was all over tv. Dude even had this one commercial with Pele back in the day.

That was unequivocally below the belt(pun may or may not be intended) Chai! Ghana don suffer!

[ohsee]

Poor Freddy McNotReady.

Sorry guys, you are too young to know this cartoon character from the 1960s. Google Freddy McReady cartoons.

Interviewer sounds annoying so I won't bother watching the chat hey had but can someone summarise what happened to this "phenom" as they called him at the time

I remember the hype and how he subsequently bombed. He simply never had any success especially in Europe

What went wrong? Was it just the marketing that was over the top or he had talent but hings didn't align for him

It must suck for him to have had so much promise and not realise it. But I'm sure he made lots of money from endorsements in his hey day

[mcal]

...I don't see the big deal. He is not, and never have been or will be a bummed out player in football or any sport. At the end he cashed in well, and better than many who continued.

”Talent is not enough”, he said.
He said he made the wrong choices.

Or maybe he wasn't as good as they were making him out to be. I'm willing to bet he would have had a decent career if he wasn't weighed down by the pressure associated with the hype.

Yeah, I seem to remember all the hype was coming out of the US, so I didn’t take it too seriously.
20 yrs ago, half decent was probably phenomenal in the US.

A bit off topic but when you say 20 years ago I still can't believe how time has flown! I remember 2003 like yesterday. In fact just a few hours ago my ex just sent me a message on Facebook and I started dating her that year. Damn, she was fine.

No. She sent me a video and said she thought one of the people reminded her of me, she thought it was me at first.
