English term or phrase: accomplish enough
What are your goals for the future?
I wish to ***accomplish enough*** that I get great satisfaction while wearing the Genoa shirt, the team where I grew up as a footballer and as a man.
I owe so much to this team, to the whole Genoa environment and especially to the griffin fans.

J'espère en faire suffisamment pour me permettre d'être content sous le maillot...

Je ne suis pas vraiment satisfaite de cette traduction, merci pour vos suggestions.

Explanation:
What accomplishments is he aiming for, if he's a football player, I am guessing it can be many thing, not necessarily scoring goals, but maybe making passes, stopping the ball, depending on this player's position on the team...

être suffisamment bon.
Actually I thought 'être à la hauteur' was not bad at all if we cannot get around the sufficiency of things to be accomplished.

réaliser les meilleures performances possibles


Explanation:
J'entends souvent le terme "performances" dans les interviews des sportifs. Il serait peut-être approprié ici.

La suite de la phrase n'est pas évidente. Il est possible que j'interprète un peu trop en traduisant "great satisfaction" par "fierté et sentiment de légitimité", mais cela peut vous inspirer.

Bon courage.

Example sentence(s):
  • Je ne souhaite qu'une chose : réaliser les meilleures performances possibles sur le terrain pour me sentir légitime et fier de porter le maillot du club.
