Jean-Clair Todibo already knows that it will convert evidently in new player of the FC Barcelona from 1 July 2019, and will land in the Camp Nou with the illusion to triumph so much to personal level as of titles. To his 19 years, is a central of present and a lot of future by in front, with the will to win little by little the minutes and to convince to his new trainer.

It debuted months backwards with the Toulouse in Tie it 1 and hardly has played 10 parties in the maximum French competition, marking a goal and giving an assistance. Now it has fichado by the Barça, in what they are two dreams fulfilled in hardly some months.

Well, the reality is that the present of Jean-Clair Todibo could have been very distinct of the that is now. Because, to the nine years, suffered an accident that could have him changed the life completely, or in the worst of the cases have it removed. Jean-Clair Todibo was run over by a car on 24 May 2010, when it combined the football with the judo.

"It were nine years old in this moment. Going out of my house to go to the judo, crossed the road when a car demolished me. Still I have scars of that accident, but already forms part of the history", has explained recently the central youngster Frenchman, in statements that already have been collected by multiple media as 'MD'.

Like consequence of the accident, Todibo suffered several fractures in his left leg, that went from the tibia until the ankle. It had to remain an unemployed year and without doing sport, and his then trainer in the inferior categories of the Toulouse, Dylan Greneche, recognised in the last dates that thought that Todibo could not go back to play to the football.

The accident did stronger to Todibo

"Honestly, we were not really safe that some time would go back to play to the football", manifested. This yes, of what has not doubted never is of the capacity of superación and of sacrifice of Todibo, that always leaves the skin to offer the best performance. "Always it has had a lot of tenacity and in that moment showed it, in spite of his short age", stood out.

Already it does eight years and half of the accident, and Todibo has showed to be a born fighter, progressing from the inferior categories of the Toulouse until arriving to the first team and turn into the big longing of the big clubs of Europe. Now it has fulfilled the dream of fichar by the FC Barcelona, something that very few can say, and much less to his short age. To remove the hat.
