The untold story behind Arek Milik

433: The Home of Football

A young boy was playing on the streets of Tychy, a small city in the south of Poland, in the late nineties. His mother was working hard to provide for him. His biological father did not play a role in his life. The young boy was up to no good sometimes, stealing candy, trying to smoke a cigarette. But this kid was also good at football. One day, a man from the neighborhood saw the young boy play football on the streets of Tychy. This man saw something in this kid and took him under his wing.

Arek Milik played as a striker for massive clubs like Ajax, Napoli and Olympique Marseille. But it all started deep inside Poland, with the help of a man who Arek now calls his father. In this episode we dive into the untold story of Arek Milik and his rise from Poland, to the European top.
