SCENE 1
SETUP: An interview of Noa Lang
Interviewer(Arshina) - Hello and welcome to ESN TV. Today we have
with us the Rising Star of Dutch Football, the one and only NOA LANG
(applause). So Noa first of all how are you?
Noa Lang (Prisha)- I am good how are you?
Interviewer (Arshina) - I am good too, thank you.
So how was the journey of that 4-year-old boy who was all about
football? How has that young boy who used to play matches with his
seniors probably 4-5 years elder to him grown up to become one of the
finest footballers of Dutch?
Noa Lang (Prisha) – Well it was all because of the young champ who
had the dedication to give football his best that today I am here on this
couch as one those footballers whom I used to see on the television.
Since childhood I have been fond of football. And I think giving
anything your 100% is all that you need in order to succeed in life
(applause).
Interviewer(Arshina)– I totally agree with what you said. Would you
like to tell us about your childhood, like how your parents had
supported you and how they helped you to attain your goals and how
they have played a very big role in building up your career.
Noa Lang – Well my parents did play an important role in helping me
achieve my goal, especially my biological father, Jeffrey Lang. He is a
sports teacher, a gym owner and my first introduction to football
passion, He was the one to register me with “Rotterdam Sports
Association Hollandia Is Our Name”. I had the backing of a caring
household that has helped me to be the exceptional person that I am
today.
Interviewer - So, what inspired you to take football as a career? How
did football become a future goal from just a hobby or passion?? What
instigated your thought process towards playing football for the rest of
your life? Is it that you did not want to study any further so you chose
football? (funny laugh)
Noa Lang – Well (laughingly) I actually did not enjoy studying at all but
it wasn’t the reason for me to choose football. Football gave me
another sense of happiness it gave me a lot more relief and joy than any
other thing. When I joined the Feyenoord’s youth team in 2005, I
learned many new things from the players there. Then I joined the Ajax
youth team and started my career at the club. I performed his debut for
the club in the first round of the KNVB Cup on the 26th of September
2018. Players like Frenkie de Jong, Ryan Gravenberch and Matthijs de
Ligt have inspired me and have taught me how to level up everytime I
faced a failure.
