Jona Louca was the manager of the St. Pauli youth categories when a boy named Youssoufa Moukoko, at just 9 years old, turned up for the trials. The manager revealed to 'Bild' how his tough beginnings were. He arrived with normal clothes and even without boots. The teammates had to lend him some so he could play.
