"The best example of what is wrong with the sport in our country is that Moise Bombito never really was identified until 23 years old. That can't be."
"I will repeat again, it is unacceptable that a player like Moise Bombito is not discovered until he's 23 years old."
"He already had technical skills and he was fast, but he lacked efficiency in front of goal."
"Then, I discovered another Moise Bombito with more confidence. He was able to use both feet to make short and long passes."
Jesse Marsch, head coach of the Canadian Men's National Team, praised his players after finishing fourth in the 2024 Copa America. He highlighted the need for improved player identification, using Moise Bombito's late recognition at age 23 as an example. Bombito, who played every minute of the tournament, was signed by Ligue 1 side Nice for €7 million. His journey began at a semi-professional club, where a coach recognized his potential as a defender, leading to his successful transition from forward to a key defensive player.
