Gabriel Martinelli | In my own words

Sure, you’ve seen me play but you probably don’t know too much about me. So let me tell you a little bit about my story so far.

I guess the most important thing is that I’ve always known I would be a footballer. My family and I always believed I could do it. They boosted my confidence and have supported me, no matter what.

If I didn’t believe in myself, I could never achieve my goals - that’s how I think. I always have positive thoughts before a match, and always try to visualise myself playing well so that I can help my team-mates to win the game.
