Nando De Colo admitted that when he was young, he wasn’t a bookworm.
“When I was younger, I only read at school because I had to!” he recalls with a smile.
“But when I started to play professionally in Cholet, we often had to travel seven or nine hours by bus to play our road games. We had a lot of time to fill, and one day my assistant coach Jacques Perigois, who is now an assistant coach at Le Portel, showed me a book by Henning Mankell about a detective, ‘Wallander’.
“One of my favorite writers is Paulo Coelho, a Brazilian author whose books are quite philosophical. I read ‘The Alchemist’, his most famous book, and ‘The Winner Stands Alone’. It shows how even if people are rich and famous, sometimes they are alone because they travel a lot and don’t have time to be with their families. ‘The Alchemist’ is a good one for talking about never giving up on what you want to do in life”.
