In part two, Martin Braithwaite speaks about how his dad imbued a winning mentality in him. It was tough love at times but it set him up well for the future.

When playing for Toulouse against Monaco, Martin came up against Eric Abidal – the toughest opponent he has faced. Eric outsmarted him that day, but it was a lesson learned.

Martin is brilliant on Lionel Messi. If you thought it would be hard playing alongside a genius, you’d be wrong. In fact, Lionel is the consummate teammate, because he is so good at setting up himself and his colleagues.

Enjoy
