Rising Soccer Star Dominique Pate Unveils His True Motivation

In an exclusive interview with the press, 18-year-old defender Dominique Pate from Melbourne United revealed his true motivation for becoming a professional footballer. Despite receiving good recent form and playing 8 matches this season, Pate said "My only goal in life is to thrive as a footballer, even if that means sacrificing everything else around. No friends, no fun. Just work all day every day."

When asked what he likes most about clubs in general, Pate said "I like clubs that put on a good show for the fans. That's the best part of the job. Playing against LEO is also a highlight for me." When discussing his favorite formations and playing styles, Pate explained that he prefers to play in a 4-4-2 formation and his play style is usually neutral.

Despite his team ranking 7th out of 10 teams and conceding 26 goals this season, Pate's extreme practice ethics has seen him power through injuries and concussions. However, it is likely that Pate will not age well due to his less than healthy lifestyle of partying all night before a cup final.

In a random interesting fact about the players life, Pate revealed that he has a pet miniature goat named Minnie.
