Norwegian football star Antonio Nusa also a bestselling author in his homeland

Norwegian forward Antonio Nusa is making waves not only on the football pitch but also in the literary world. The 21-year-old Leipzig player recently scored a spectacular goal in the round of 16 against Ivory Coast, a play that went viral for its similarity to a goal scored by Enzo Fernández in the 2022 World Cup.

Beyond his football prowess, Nusa has revealed another talent: writing. He recently co-authored a book titled "Alt starter med en drøm" ("Everything starts with a dream"). This autobiographical work, focusing on self-help, has become a bestseller in Norway. Critics have noted Nusa's clear purpose in the book, aiming to provide concrete steps for readers to achieve their aspirations.

Nusa, often compared to his idol Neymar for his playing style and appearance, details his journey from childhood in Langhus, near Oslo, to his professional career. In his latest season with Leipzig, he played 35 matches across the Bundesliga and German Cup, scoring five goals and providing four assists. His market value is estimated at 32 million euros, with a potential sale price of 60 million.

Following Norway's victory over Ivory Coast, the team advanced to the round of 16, where they are set to face Brazil. Nusa, who debuted for the national team in 2023, has scored eight goals and provided nine assists in 24 appearances.

I don't want this to be just a book, but mainly a guide with concrete steps that you can use to achieve your dreams. And that means that, anyway, you will learn something along the way.
