"Wandering one life is a player ..."
("Sports Review", 25/11/2010)
93rd Paris district is not the most beautiful place in the world. Red Star Stadium is surrounded by blocks of flats painted in graffiti, among them emerge from the stands czwartoligowego destroyed the club. Only one inoperable.
Parisian ghetto
Training players watching from the balconies of hooded Arabs. It's simple ghetto. Bedi Buval grew up in a family of immigrants from Martinique and Guadeloupe, but the two quarters away. Domont But it was a luxury.
- Paris is not just Les Champs Elysées. For the people do not receive it, it's really only a small part of the city. Saint-Denis, 93rd district, a place where the intersection of Algeria, Tunisia and Martinique. Its residents do not get a chance to adapt. With us it was different. My parents flew to Paris to complete their studies and find work. They were nurses. They are next to it all - he says.
Buval played at the legendary Parisian club only half a year. Sometimes, that the match was interrupted after a quarter, when immigrants were running onto the pitch with the blocks. Sam got so low is not by accident. Even agree to play on the left of midfield. And he was the aggressor. Shoot goals learned in Lorraine, AS Nancy in the nursery. But then not everything worked out as planned. An opportunity was even a reserve match with Auxerre, Rennes, PSG.
Buval When Bedi turns the TV in his apartment in Gdansk, often choosing a Japanese channel. When watching the Japanese league game, his face painted with a smile. Once I figured out that in the Far East to end his career. Sitting on the couch next to a girl Bediego (Dane) is doing great eyes, but Buval knows what he says. France, England, Denmark, Greece, Poland - a country in which the 24-year-old has already played. If the journey began, he wants to continue it for good.
- I remember the first thought when I appeal to the Danes - she says. - I thought: "Denmark? That's where we end up in a few years? In China, "- he smiles and his Danish girlfriend turns his eyes and puts the book.
proposal from Denmark was surprised by a cloudy day in Paris. Buval perfectly knew the capital, he grew up here, but at age 15 he moved to Nancy. Great bargain. The youth team was the best scorer. To change the club convinced him scout Bolton Wanderers. He left. Staff broke into the first team. He was getting closer to the debut. He sat on the bench. But I tore ligaments. Sam Allardyce opined: "no prognosis." Resolved a contract with him. Buval then began their journey. Again, from Paris.
with marasmus 93rd district wanted to snatch a manager. He noted that Buval no idea about football training .- We finished late in the evening. Once in the lobby waiting for an agent. He said: "There are clubs in the Third Division that you want." I went for tests to trzecioligowego Beauvais. But no, it was not testing ... It was something much worse - and says he remembers the faces of 50 other players gained from the region of Paris, just as surprised as he is.
900 euros per month
- lots of players invited. They formed four teams of us. They threw the ball and said: "Play." Nobody knew he had no idea who you play. On the pitch we met for the first time. This it was humiliating. It was hard for me then laugh, because I had no alternative. After the game we were asked to leave on a piece of your phone number. Just in case, if they wanted to call. I wanted to, but offered a salary of 900 euros per month. My agent began negotiations, so I can receive the 1200th What times ... A moment before sitting on the bench Bolton in the UEFA Cup with Besiktas in Istanbul, and now I had to count on such earnings - grabs his head. - But what could I do? Go to work in a supermarket? I could not cry and break down.
The suitcases

not give up, because I had already won his fight in the UK. The first experience was a shock. More time spent lying in the middle of the pitch rather than waiting for the ball in the penalty area rivals. It seemed to him that the other sport. Aggressive English defender pushes him on the 50th meter pitch. He received his elbow in the face. Until learned - began to elbow and obstructed. He had no way out. So he learned to play with his back to goal. Today, this element is one of the best players in league.
When underwent major collapse, someone called to him from an unknown area code. Denmark. The club Randers. He agreed. Score goals, the best performance remains a match against FC Copenhagen, when hit twice. But after two years no one would guarantee him a raise. One day, the French envoy arrived in Grenoble in order to observe it. It was a Buvala last chance to free himself from a trip to Europe, one of which seemed to wind up next.
- If there was one game, who played in Denmark, which should see a Boy Scout, it was just this game. We lost 1:6 against FC Nordsjaelland. Many never saw. I do not hit it to Ligue 1, I knew after a few minutes of the meeting. It was not the day nor mine, nor Randers. The Frenchman did what I normally - he returned to Paris. The city just coached Panthrakikos Greek. Bedi was so good that it received a contract. He got the team to the aircraft and landed in an unknown city of Komotini, in a region called "East Macedonia and Thrace". Half of the city the Greeks, the Turks are the second part. Buval scored three goals there.
- But if they are not Athens, it .. . do not go to Greece. That's my advice to other players - winks.
ashamed to speak

ashamed to speak
After half a year left. In memory of guides to it from another place on earth. Panioniosu went to Athens. He was to be one of the two attackers, but two weeks after arrival the coach was released. Finally the President, the entire board i. .. All the office workers. They wanted to do the same thing with the team.
- told me: "No program guides you." And I can be, if I want to explore the Acropolis. Ashamed to speak with your friends that came back in the wrong place - wspomina.Pech named Ricardo Vaz Te - the man who persecuted the Frenchman. At the mention of his name Buval smiles, long silent and looks for words that best described their feelings.
- I do not want it anymore. Met again in Bolton, but ... Ronaldo had a bad effect on me. Apparently we were friends, but I liked but did not. It's a type that is bragging. Bolton enters the locker room and says: "I'm a star." I could not stand him. The more that after I injured, he replaced me in the frame Bolton - says Bedi.
nightmare returned
One day, Vaz Te returned. - Sat on the sofa in the club house Panioniosu Athens. I do not know where this thought came, but I thought: "If you will go to Vaz Te Panioniosu, leaving the next day." A few minutes later to enter the clubhouse Vaz Te! Smiled at him, but I thought I'd go mad. At the end of the season they told me in the club: "We do not want you because we already Vaz Te" - grabs his head at the recollection of a nightmare.

And so he returned to the place which landed on each wanderings. - In Paris, I watched the World Cup matches, but it was difficult for me to concentrate. I was waiting for the offer. One says "no" different "maybe." Maybe Thierry Henry has a beautiful life, but if you're not him, it's your life as a footballer is not so easy. My manager tried to put me in every club, whose name can only imagine. I will not tell tales that I could pick of offers and just picked Lechia Gdańsk. I did not have many options - he says and counts on his fingers: - Sweden, Denmark, Hungary, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France, Austria and Greece ...
- About 40 clubs. But after my recent adventures nobody wanted me. When I had to get to Cyprus, she applied Lechia. Three days before the transfer window closing. She sent me a text message: "Poland? Really?. "He also thought at the beginning:" Why me again does this happen? ". But now I believe that it is my destiny. That is part of some whole. That's how it remains. I will travel - he says.
Such a fate
By exile Frenchman wins the experience. The ability to play England brought back to the gate and strength, a girl from Denmark, in Greece - an empty wallet and the local phone number. Place of origin of parents, in turn, a great holiday and a choice of playing in the representation of Martinique or Guadeloupe. But what will be, as once again he fails? If anything it will always remain an option - again, back to Paris.
