- I'm a Liverpool fan for about 37 years now.
Yeah, I was still a kid in a village
Then we were just listening on the radio and sometimes see magazines.
(crowd cheering)
- Rwandan Reds is a fan club for Liverpool
which combines, ladies, gentlemen...
every category of people.
- [TV Commentator] Welcome to Anfield for the Premier League meeting
between Liverpool and Newcastle United.
- My favourite player for all the time is Ian Rush
Liverpool legend...
scored around 391 goals.
That's why I called my son Ian Rush also.
- [TV Commentator] It's the triumvirate set-up,
Firmino and Mane, 66 goals.
- I remember...
breaking up with a Manchester United supporting boyfriend
because I was a Liverpool fan.
(all laughing and clapping)
(crowd cheering)
- [TV Commentator] The Anfield crowd in full voice,
with their anthem, "You'll Never Walk Alone."
(crowd cheering)
- If you listen to the words of "You'll Never Walk Alone"...
it is like the story of our country.
It's really very inspiring.
In Rwanda, you know the history of this country.
Some of us don't have parents, don't have brothers or sisters.
The Liverpool shirt means a family.
That's why I love Liverpool.
- [All] Liverpool! (clapping)
- [TV Commentator] Salah's in on goal,
and Liverpool are in the lead.
(all cheering)
Once more, it's Mohamed Salah.
And you just cannot leave him on mark like that.
One touch to control the ball,
a second to finish.
- Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- [TV Commentator] It's Mohamed Salah, it's one-nil.
(triumphant music)
- Always when Liverpool wins...
I feel my Daddy, that's...
is also watching and supporting Liverpool.
(hyena squealing)
Here in the plain we can see the impala.
The difference between the zebras is stripes.
It's like a fingerprint, a human fingerprint.
(elephant trumpets)
(muffled roar)
There are lions, three lions.
The giraffes are just watching them
to see their intentions.
Are they hunting?
If you see how beautiful Rwanda is...
I think it is a Garden of Eden.
In our language, they say that...
"God chooses to sleep in Rwanda."
But one day... we thought God left us.
(traffic buzzing)
- The story of Rwanda...
...began a long time ago.
Rwanda was one country...
and everyone spoke the same language.
We all share the same culture.
- This is Rwanda,
a country twice the size of Belgium.
- Rwanda was then colonised by the Belgians.
The colonisers divided us into ethnic groups.
- The Rwandan people,
made up of distinct races...
the Hutu tribe,
and the Tutsi tribe.
- This created tension.
Their policy was to divide and rule.
But at least they gave us football.
- A coin is tossed
to see which team begins on which half...
and the game begins...
the bare feet kick the ball with ease...
(people cheering)
The chief's son scores a goal for the missionaries' team...
- The first time I saw white men play football...
was in a Liverpool match.
It was the 15th August 1987.
-(crowd cheering) -[TV Commentator] Beardsley.
Oh, a goal for Aldridge!
- Until then,
I had imagined white skin was so soft...
it bruised if you touched it.
(whistle blows)
- It was love at first sight. There's no other way to say it.
- [TV Commentator] Oh, brilliantly done by Peter Beardsley.
(crowd cheering)
Liverpool are in the lead.
(airy, relaxed music)
- This is a place called Mayaka Cinema Hall.
Very special place.
When I became a good boy at home,
my dad used to bring me here and watch football.
He used to love Liverpool.
(film projector whirring)
- [TV Commentator] He dare not fail.
(crowd buzzing)
And he slid it beautifully and comfortably into the net.
- And then when we get a goal...
everyone, "Woah, woah! Liverpool, Liverpool!"
- (crowd cheering) - [TV Commentator] Liverpool are European champions!
What joy!
And Alan Kennedy's penalty gives Liverpool the European Cup
for the fourth time.
- My dad used to like Dalglish
as a good player
and a good leader in the game.
- [TV Commentator] There's Kenny Dalglish.
- He used to say, "I wish, Joe, you can be like Dalglish."
"You like to play?"
I said, "Yes, I can play, Dad. I can be like him."
Yeah, my dad was wishing me to play football.
- [TV Commentator] And he's allowed to get away with it.
(mumbles), Kenny Dalglish,
oh, and torn away at the end by Mark.
- It was our dream.
(upbeat vuvuzela music)
(crowd cheering)
(announcer speaking in foreign language)
- Rayon Sports, it's a big club, you could compare it to Liverpool.
(crowd cheering)
Rayon Sports can bring you happiness...
(announcer speaking in foreign language)
but it can also make you sick.
(crowd groaning)
This is where I began my career...
I debuted with this team.
The team was made up of both ethnicities...
Tutsi and Hutu.
It's where I made many friends.
I have many memories.
(man speaking foreign language)
- You're not in this one. - Is that so?! Haha.
- I was probably at training.
- You're in the middle,
and I'm next to the coach.
His name was 'Maveke' right?
You remember the Al-Hilal match?
- How could I forget? What an atmosphere!
The match was really important because
it was to qualify for the final phase of the African cup.
(anxious, anticipatory music)
(TV announcer speaking foreign language)
- Dieudonné gives it to Baptista.
Baptista on the ball.
- I was having a great game. I was having fun with skills, dribbling.
- You were going on all those runs.
(TV announcer speaking foreign language)
(men cheering and clapping and laughing)
- It was the first time that Rayon Sports had reached this level...
- That match made history for us.
More importantly...
that match saved lives.
It saved my life.
(foreboding music)
(people chattering)
- The President invited us to his house.
I even have a photo of that occasion.
- And then his Excellency the President...
joined the players.
They took a commemorative photo.
- After that, the sky fell in.
(thunder rumbling)
- In 1990s
that's when the tension
became worse, worse and worse.
(thunder rumbling) (heavy marching)
- [TV Reporter] The rebel Rwandan Patriotic Front
is said to be positioning themselves.
- The ethnic group I belong,
are the Tutsi, the minority one.
Most of the Tutsi went out of the country.
(thunder rumbling)
My dad sent me to Uganda,
to live with my aunt.
Back then I was young, I could not imagine what is going on.
But then no one could know what is going to happen next.
(jet engines roaring)
(explosion shuddering)
- [Reporter] An armed attack may have caused
the plane crash that killed
the presidents of two Central Africa nations.
- [Reporter 2] President Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda
and six other people crashed in plane.
(lightning cracking)
(distant guns firing)
They say gunfire and grenade explosions
started in the center of town,
just before dawn, and are continuing.
(distant guns firing)
It wasn't yet possible to say who was fighting whom,
nor to evaluate the extent of the violence.
(distant thunder rumbling)
(sweeping, unsettling music)
- It was on Saturday, I remember...
because my mum, she was going to church...
I was about 4 years.
(insects chirping)
The assassins were coming with machetes,
and they came to our home.
(intense music)
- Young men... equipped with machetes...
- [Reporter 2] Groups of youths going around,
killing, the random killing.
- They have come and macheted my father...
in the back of the head.
He dropped down and they started to beat him...
and the other two babies.
- (intense drumming music) - [Reporter 3] ...has, officials say,
been the biggest and fastest flight of humanity
the United Nations has witnessed in nearly 50 years.
(rain pouring)
- And we... my mum,
my brothers and sisters...
were running.
And we were hiding.
After losing my family...
I was thrown in with the other refugees,
without anything to eat, without water to drink.
(intense drumming music)
- [Reporter 3] Tens of thousands of refugees
pouring out of the country.
- [Reporter 2] That doesn't mean that things are better at all,
in fact, it may mean that things are even worse
in the suburbs of Kigali.
(haunting, unsettling music)
- We were terrified.
We were totally confused.
When the plane crashed, I lived here.
There were six of us,
all different ethnic groups...
Hutu and Tutsi.
(anxious, frenetic music)
We didn't know...
which of us needed to hide.
(thunder rumbling)
(rain pouring)
- Night-time was better than day-time.
(birds calling)
The killers would "work" during the day
and rest at night.
(thunder rumbling) (rain pouring)
I was most at risk...
because I was a Tutsi.
I was on the kill-list.
They'd have killed me instantly.
I left town with Auxile's brother, Justin.
(unsettling music)
I was really scared...
but the militias weren't directly after me...
because I was a Hutu.
(soldier speaking foreign language)
They were targeting
the Tutsi.
That is why Justin wanted us to travel together.
I went with him as a friend.
Justin suggested we hide...
in his village...
(distant guns firing)
But when we arrived...
the militia knocked on the window...
(knocking)
(rain pouring)
...and ordered us to get out of the car.
(men speaking foreign language)
They stole all our possessions.
I was hit across the face
with the side of a machete.
I thought I was dead.
I saw my life flash before my eyes.
Then all of sudden...
a small boy came over...
and he said "Isn't that Baptista?"
He remembered the match between Rayon Sports and Al-Hilal.
(crowd cheering)
(announcer speaking foreign language)
A soldier said to me...
"Oh Baptista, it is you!"
"Hey, everyone...
bring back his things."
I asked him to make sure they brought my photo album.
I showed him the photo of me with the President.
This album is the weapon that saved my life.
(camera shutter snaps)
(thunder rumbling)
(rain pouring)
- I stayed behind after Baptista left...
hiding here for two and a half months.
Two and a half months.
(frenetic music intensifies)
I would wear the Rayon Sports shirt.
I thought it could protect me...
because the militia men...
maybe they would be fans of Rayon Sports
or at least football fans.
(man speaking foreign language on radio)
In hiding...
we would listen to the radio.
(man speaking foreign language on radio)
The announcer would say...
"Take your machetes,
take your guns,
smoke some weed...
and go kill!"
(thunder crashes)
- They must be killed at first sight...
until they are annihilated.
- [Reporter 3] ...campaign of butchery
that shows no sign of ending.
(distant guns fire)
- [Reporter 2] I've seen some of the most
terrible things today that I've ever seen.
(thunder rumbling)
(heavy drumming music)
- [Reporter 4] A few pockets of government resistance
remain in Kigali and in Butare to the south,
but the rebels say they are in control.
- The RPF successfully regained Kigali...
for the first time General Paul Kagame,
appears as a civilian.
- Immediately after especially, it was just...
horrible, there was nothing working, there was nothing in place,
there was nothing standing.
It was a sense of chaos,
absolute chaos.
(birds chirping)
- After the genocide...
we came back to Rwanda.
I went to where we used to live
but we find that nobody there.
The house was burned,
and everything was stolen.
That's when I get the news that my dad was killed
and thrown in this river.
They used to tie them,
the hands behind like this,
and they throw you there. Nothing you can do if they tie you
and tie your legs, they throw there,
you can't do anything.
(water rushing)
(haunting music)
Always, when I pass there
when I reach this river,
I feel like...
it's one of the...
the bad memory on my mind.
Yeah.
(heavy, desolate music)
- When I returned in early 1995...
there was nothing in Kigali.
No running water, no electricity...
the roads were all destroyed...
the city empty of people.
- During the genocide...
I was with my teammates,
who were Hutus,
and they protected me.
Some footballers had died.
I lost a lot of friends.
I lost my parents, my brothers...
I lost almost everything.
- Ah Baptista. How are you? - Hey!
- Auxile! - Yes, are you good?
- You're still around? - Yes, always.
- Auxile!
How are you, Auxile?
How are you doing?
- I didn't know who was alive, who had been killed.
All I wanted to do was to start playing football again...
with all my old mates.
- We started with five, then six,
and so started to play football games here.
- Whoever showed up first got to play.
- There were no rules, first come... - First come, first to play.
- For five years, the Tapis Rouge stadium was abandoned...
- I had been fighting for...
the Rwandan Patriotic Front.
When we reached Rwanda...
after the war...
we tried to have some fun...
by playing football.
(people chattering)
- Whenever there was a moment people found
some time and space to relax,
immediately you'd find a ground and they are playing football.
And personally, I participated in that as well.
- To be honest there was no life here...
but we've begun to fight back
...we're getting footballs.
We are trying to get them to play together.
And little by little, their lives...
are improving.
(players chattering)
- Putting football at the centre of...
the processes of recovery here in our country,
was deliberate.
But building on what we saw...
that football can actually help bring communities together.
- Since the days of the genocide,
I was playing football with my classmates in the orphanage.
We were playing for happiness, for sharing...
life.
Because we are having no parents, no brothers, no sisters.
But football has come to connect us.
(man speaking foreign language)
- When the player is in the pitch,
dribbling the ball,
passing, running,
he is happy inside.
(chuckles)
It's an amazing time for me.
- In 1994,
women did not have any hope for the future
because they were the most vulnerable.
(players chattering)
So what I did...
was to start the organisation of women in sport,
introducing this game all over the country.
After training football,
women felt that attitude of being active
and not being taken over by the past, instead they thought of the present.
During the halftime, they could come
and tell people about, let's say, peace building.
They would listen to the message and go back home...
and encouraging others to move on,
from the worst situation to never again.
(dramatic music)
- When I get to know how my dad died,
everything was over.
My mind was revenge.
The government has put an effort of teaching people,
the survivors
to look away.
I have to make sure that I have to know how to forgive.
We are all Rwandans, we have to look forward
and we have to do something.
- [Reporter] These Rwandans have gathered for a gacaca,
which should help close a horrific chapter in their history
and accelerate national reconciliation.
(speaking foreign language)
- [Translator] I have decided to tell the truth.
I took part in the attack which killed
Emmanuel Mudumakwe.
- [Reporter] A gacaca is a people's trial.
The defendants have no lawyer and no right to appeal,
but by confessing beforehand,
they will get a reduced sentence.
- [Translator] I ask the family of Emmanuel,
if they're still alive,
to come here so I can ask them to forgive me.
- The first time I met the one who killed my dad, it was like...
I look at him and then I feel like, OK,
if he told me the truth,
that's the only thing I can rely on it.
I was not thinking about
revenging, because I was feeling, OK...
I wanted the truth. So I feel like OK...
now I know the truth.
I was even thinking that...
they can even release him.
(intense, emotional music)
- We had so many people in prison
those who were responsible in one way or another
relating to genocide
and yet we were hard pressed to really move forward.
Trying to overcome this tragic history.
- [Reporter] 1994 left huge problems at every level.
The concentration of prisoners is a drain on limited resources
and more than 100,000 suspects like these
have languished in jail.
- The question was: For how long would this go on? Or what is the cost?
And we started, and talked about it,
and decided that we need to release a number of these people.
- When the people around heard...
that the killers were being released
into our community...
it was hard for them to comprehend.
(kids shouting)
- These people were men who participated during genocide.
So we had to sensitise to the people that we need to forgive
because, if we don't forgive, the country cannot develop.
- We decided...
that football could help heal our community.
(people speaking foreign language)
- Two sides...
the killers and the locals.
I was the captain of Gashora football team.
(whistle blows)
(players chattering)
(people singing in foreign language)
(whistle blows)
- As people were playing football,
it's teamwork, you don't refuse to pass the ball because someone comes
from a certain place or a certain clan.
You are going to pass the ball because you want to win.
- [Translator] In football, there's no such thing
as Hutus and Tutsis, we all play together.
- That first match...
in the end, everyone was happy.
(whistle blows)
- [Translator] I play in a team of former prisoners,
and we have games against survivors of the genocide.
There's no hatred between us, we get on well together.
(people singing in foreign language)
- And it seemed that outside society were ready to welcome them back.
(people singing in foreign language)
- So that mentality that you are one
and nobody should separate you,
that also grows in unity and reconciliation.
(people singing in foreign language)
(majestic, hopeful music)
(dramatic music)
(insects chirping)
- Never before had Rwanda...
made it to qualify for the African Cup of Nations finals.
It was hard
to make up a competitive team...
(dramatic thumping music)
- 2003 was the perfect chance...
to rewrite our history.
The crucial qualifying match
was against Ghana, in this stadium.
Ghana were a very strong team.
During the genocide,
this ground was used for the refugees...
they took advantage of its safety...
in order to survive.
- It had not even been ten years.
The world was asking,
"How can these people who fought and killed each other...
play together?"
- The team had both ethnic groups...
Tutsi and Hutu.
- It was a moment in my life I'll never forget.
- When we came here,
all the stadium was very crowded.
(crowd cheering)
- This team had...
all these backgrounds of our society.
But as a country...
everybody rallied.
(TV announcer speaking foreign language)
(whistle blows)
(TV announcer speaking foreign language)
- When you are supporting football...
you don't say, ah... this one is a Hutu, this one is a Tutsi...
What do you focus?
You focus on football.
(TV announcer speaking foreign language)
(intense, excited music)
(TV announcer speaking foreign language)
- The head of the Rwandan FA...
came to me and said...
"Today's match... we have to win."
(TV announcer speaking foreign language)
- "The players on the far side of the pitch need to be told what to do."
"Take this camera...
go hide among the press photographers...
and shout out instructions."
-(crowd cheering) -(TV announcer speaking foreign language)
(crowd cheering)
- We started the second half very well.
(whistle blows)
(TV announcer speaking foreign language)
- It was 49 minutes,
it was a free kick.
(whistle blows)
- Ntaganda Elias stepped up to take it...
I shouted to him...
"Aim at the far post..."
(TV announcer speaking foreign language)
- I could see the Ghana team
were concentrated on the near post.
(crowd cheering)
- What a surprise for African football
and for Rwanda...
- So it was big moment...
for people feel like now, all we are Rwandan.
- I don't know if I can express it.
Because, even if you were a woman, you shout...
voices would go...
because it was just an exciting moment.
(TV announcer speaking foreign language)
(crowd cheering)
- From nowhere, this nobody stands up
to this big giant of football.
This means everything.
It means you can win even in other cases of adversity.
- That was the moment when we Rwandans realised...
that in spite of everything...
we could be united as a nation.
(clapping)
(TV announcer speaking foreign language)
- That game and that day, it was a redemption for Rwanda because
we started from zero.
- I don't want to sound like one is exaggerating,
but that moment added a lot to what was happening,
to the process of bringing the country together.
(players chattering)
(calming music)
- Today is a match...
between the Rwandan Red Liverpool fans...
and the Rayon Sports fan club.
I can't say every story for every player
but every player has his own history.
(whistle blows)
- I was in the orphanage...
with my adoption parent
who was a really good
supporter of Liverpool FC.
He was my father, I followed him...
everywhere he goes.
I followed him...
to love Liverpool.
(players chattering)
- Now, too many friends
have come to be my friends
because of Liverpool.
(whistle blows)
(speaking foreign language)
- When something has come and entered in your heart,
you can't have it another way.
(somber music)
- Football isn't just for men to enjoy.
- Is this bright enough?
- This is still Arsenal red, I want Liverpool red.
- When did you first see Liverpool?
- It was the UEFA Champions League Final 2005.
Anyone who witnessed that match would have fallen in love with my team.
(crowd cheering)
- [TV Commentator] Well, European Finals
are supposed to be like this,
Liverpool and Milan, two clubs steeped in history,
fighting it out...
- In 2005 final, UEFA Champions League,
I was in my high school and it was forbidden
for me to watch that game,
I've decided to jump over the gate
to watch that match.
(regal music)
- I watched the match at home...
with four of my friends.
Unfortunately they were cheering for Milan.
- [TV Commentator] Seven of the players
who won this trophy two years ago...
- I was working on a safari
I turned on the radio
to hear what is going on.
- [TV Commentator] Well, Liverpool, England's most successful
team in this competition.
But there was a time in their glory years
when the trophy was always coming back to these shores.
Milano, an intimidating sight for any opponent.
And Traore's given away a free kick here
in the opening minute.
Pirlo takes.
Oh, it's in!
Maldini has given Milan the perfect start.
It's a disastrous beginning for Liverpool.
The Brazilian, Kaka.
Here's Shevchenko, Crespo's available and he finds him!
(crowd cheering)
Two-nil!
Played through again by Kaka, Crespo...
gets his second, Milan's third,
and already, Liverpool are looking down and out.
- Ah, no way.
- [TV Commentator] Liverpool supporters, utterly deflated.
A half-time score that fueled them.
- Everybody was taunting me, calling us "losers".
I felt...
really...
depressed!
(Liverpool fans chanting and clapping)
- [TV Commentator] Well, the Liverpool supporters
have somehow managed to rally themselves
during the halftime break.
- In the second half...
the players came back pumped up.
You can't love football and not love Steven Gerrard.
- [TV Commentator] Steven Gerrard trying to lift his men
and the supporters from Merseyside
trying to find a crumb of comfort somewhere.
Rafael Benitez, acting at the start of the second half.
- But always I could think...
if we can get three goals...
God is here.
- [TV Commentator] Here's Riise.
And again, John Arne Riise.
Gerrard!
- Liverpool!
- [TV Commentator] And the captain does
what the captain does best!
(crowd cheering)
He gives Liverpool hope.
(intense, excited music)
- I was surprised when we scored the first goal.
You can actually draw life lessons...
by seeing the players never give up.
- [TV Commentator] Here's Hamann.
Vladimir Smicer!
Liverpool has scored two! - Yes!
It can happen!
- [TV Commentator] In the span of minutes,
Vladimir Smicer,
and now they do have genuine hope.
- After the second goal,
I said to myself,
we can do this.
- Oh daddy, you can take this cup...
- [TV Commentator] Can they take that extra step?
Here's Baros, Gerrard looking to get through again.
Is he hurt? He was.
Gattuso's conceded a penalty,
and Liverpool has a chance to get level.
Xabi Alonso steps up to take
what is a real pressure kick,
facing up to Dida.
And Dida saves, but Alonso's there!
(crowd cheering)
This is goal. - Goal!
(crowd cheering)
- [TV Commentator] Who could have foreseen this at halftime?
In the space of around six minutes,
Liverpool have fought back to get level.
Look at the scoreline now.
(hopeful music)
Driven in again, but there goes the whistle
(whistle blows)
to signal the end of extra time,
and for the second time in three years.
- The penalty shootout would decide the match.
- [TV Commentator] Serginho it is to step up
and try and give Milan a scoring start in the shoot-out.
(intense, anticipatory music)
Serginho...
oh, he's missed.
Hamann gives Liverpool the advantage.
Milan under real pressure now,
oh, they've missed a second.
Cisse, two-nil.
Tomasson gives Milan hope.
Riise, oh, saved by Dida.
Kaka.
He's cool from the spot.
- My heart was beating like crazy.
- [TV Commentator] Vladimir Smicer could give Liverpool
a real helping hand for the trophy here.
(whistle blows)
Smicer...
tucks it away.
(crowd cheering)
And now, one of Europe's most feared marksmen,
Andre Shevchenko, has to beat Dudek from the spot.
If he misses, Milan have lost,
Liverpool, the European Champions.
- My heart was in my throat. (chuckles)
(heartbeat thumping)
- [TV Commentator] Can imagine Shevchenko's head right here.
Oh, Dudek has saved it! - Ohh!
- [TV Commentator] Liverpool are European Champions.
- Yes, yes.
- [TV Commentator] Their first success in the competition
in 21 years, and how dramatically it's happened.
- That victory made me to believe that everything was possible.
(wind blowing)
(gentle music)
- Because I was an orphan, since my childhood,
it was my dream to get married when I am younger.
Before the genocide happened...
my father, because he was a Tutsi...
had gone to be hidden at the neighbours.
When I was searching for my family,
I asked the neighbours,
the ones who hide my father,
about the history of our family.
It was my first time I meet Rosine...
(kisses)
(speaking foreign language)
This is Rosine and she is my wife.
We got married, and she is pregnant as you see.
And we are very, very happy
to get our first born here.
It's a family connection,
and I'm happy because...
I've got married with the one from that family.
My dream has come true.
I don't know the sex, but if he will be a son...
he will play for Liverpool, I'm sure.
I dreamed about it.
(sweeping, emotional music)
- Rwanda used to be a genocide country.
But now Rwanda is a remarkable country.
The economy in Rwanda is growing.
Now we are in the country that have peace,
I'm sure that my sons, they will achieve what I didn't achieve
to fulfill their dreams.
God gave me two boys.
I play with my son football.
The same thing that I used to play with my dad.
(speaking foreign language)
This is Dalglish.
Dalglish was number 7 in Liverpool in 1980s.
He used to score goals.
Your Grandpa... was a supporter of Dalglish.
When we are going to support Liverpool...
I used to go with my dad like this to watch Liverpool.
This is amazing!
(playful chattering)
To give a shirt to my son...
always I'll be seeing my dad's picture.
Oh, oh! (chuckles)

- This is a wonderful day for me,
and I thank God for bringing you here safely.
On behalf of the family...
we get ready...
for the baby that Rosine and I are about to have...
You're all going to have a great time...
and feel at home.
Thank you!
(all clapping)
(people speaking foreign language)
- Rwandan Liverpool fans, Rwanda Reds, we are...
more than supporters.
We are family.
Day-by-day, we live as family.
If someone has a problem...
he call one of us...
wherever you are.
- Rwandan Reds don't ask which side you were on the genocide...
because we are all Rwandans...
and above all - supporters of Liverpool.
(all laughing)
("You'll Never Walk Alone" horn instrumental)
(birds calling)
- They pay a lot in tax, I think.
- Lots of tax. I'm never going to complain
about how much tax I pay back home.
- They live in posh houses...
the most expensive part of town.
- I think they'll play Firmino up front with Mané...
maybe Ings in there too.
- It's all about pace, for example...
if Robertson loses the ball...
he'll quickly get back in his position, Milner is the same.
(all laughing and speaking foreign language)
- "You'll Never Walk Alone" is something that applies to...
to all of us.
In our country, we have dealt with so many challenges,
and yet I think we have overcome in many ways,
just because none of us has walked alone.
(crowd chattering)
- If you listen to the words of "You'll Never Walk Alone"...
it is like the story of our country.
However difficult things become...
you must believe...
that one day things will get better.
- [Man] I would like to get a scarf.
- [Vendor] Okay, which one, there is...
- The country can be reborn.
These lyrics can inspire not just the fans...
but people in any walk of life.
- [Man] Hey man. - Hey, Messi.
- [Man] Hold on, we're from Rwanda, guys.
- Yeah? Yeah? - [Man] Yeah, we are coming to watch.
- These words can give the strength to survive...
to never give up hope.
