On this episode, we are joined by midfielder Distel Zola, a veteran player enjoying his first season in America and the USL Championship after building a stellar resume playing in his home country of France. We talk about his childhood academy days in Champigny-sur-Marne and then advancing to the academy for Monaco, one of the biggest clubs in the world, and capping for Congo, the birth country of his parents.
Distel tells us how he came to arrive at El Paso and discusses some of the adjustments involved in moving to America, playing during a global pandemic and offers his perspective on the murder of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement.
We thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Distel Zola and wish him all the success in his first campaign in America.
