Impressive statements by Dele Alli: “I was sexually abused at the age of six”

English star Dele Alli, who played on loan for Beşiktaş last season, tearfully announced that he was sexually abused when he was six years old.

The 27-year-old footballer made public remarks in a statement to Gary Neville’s YouTube channel, The Overlap. Dele Alli, who fell into an unstoppable fall after his star shone at Tottenham and failed to make the expected burst, spoke of the traumas of his life.

The successful midfielder, who returned to Everton after ending his loan deal with Beşiktaş, used the following statements:

“I woke up one morning. I had to go to training, at which point Mourinho stopped playing with me. I remember looking in the mirror. It may sound dramatic, but it’s really just looking in the mirror and saying, ‘Can I retire at 24?’ I was thinking. You know, doing what I love. For me, it was a situation that broke my heart.”

“IF YOU KNOW MY LIFE YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND”

“I have always struggled with myself. He was winning the battle, smiling, showing that he was happy, but inside he was definitely losing a battle. Trauma is trauma and your body registers the same no matter what. If you knew about my life, you would understand this a little better. I want to help others know that they are not alone in how they feel, and I want them to know that getting help is not a sign of weakness.”

“I WAS BULLIED AT SIX YEARS OLD”

“When I was six years old, I was harassed by a regular friend from my mother’s house, my mother was an alcoholic. Then they took me to Africa to learn the discipline and then sent me back. I started smoking at the age of seven and selling drugs at the age of eight.”

“An old man told me they couldn’t stop a kid on a bike, so I would run with my soccer ball and get high under it.”

“I WAS DANGEROUS FROM THE BRIDGE”

“When I was 11 years old… a neighbor hung me from a bridge. A man. I was adopted at the age of 12, but since then I have felt that I was adopted by a wonderful family.”

“I CAN NOT DO IT”

“I was never really dealing with issues, I was trying to deal with growing issues and trauma, emotions that I was holding onto for myself. My foster family, my brother, would sometimes pull me away and ask me to cry and say how I felt, but I couldn’t.”

“I was lost for a few years, I was pushing everyone away, when my parents who saved my life cried, when they asked me to tell you what was wrong, I didn’t want to do it.”
