RISE AND FALL
I
used to play soccer in Adanaspor. I was 16 years old at that time. One day our
coach called me and asked my fathers phone number. When I ask him why you want
my fathers phone number he only told me because I want to talk with your father
about your transfer. I asked him transfer to where? He told me if my family gave
me the permission my club will send me to USA as a football player. When I
heard that I cried because of happiness. Then, coach called my father and he
asked him he needs to talk with him face to face in his office. When my father
went his office coach and his friend who is also coach in USA was sitting and
talking about transfer procedure. After meeting my father decided to send me to
USA and called me for asking do I want to go and I sad yes and than we sign the
contract. I was so nervous because I spossed to move to USA in 4 mounth.
Firstly, I need to learn English and then I need to take a visa. I started to feel
the pressure on me. After 4 mounts I went to Los Angles, CA. When I went to the
dormitory first I met my roommate Ryan. He was the goalkeeper of our team.
Coach gave me 1 week off because of jetlag. After 1 week I started the
trainings and work hard because get in the first eleven. In my 3th week I
achieve hat trick and they select me as a man of the match in the home coming
party. In that year we won the cup and I was the most scorer player in the high
school league. At the end of the season I made contract with Los Angles Galaxy.
I was really happy because next year I will be senior and half-professional
soccer player. That was my biggest dream. I was knew that will be the really
hardest challenge in my life. During the season I achieved many things in
Galaxy and I got many medal and they told me that at the end of the season they
want me to sign the contract for the professional team player and I sad yes to
them directly. Last 2 matches coach kept me in the bench because of protecting
me for the injury. At the last match coach decided make substitutions and took
me in. I wasn’t warm up or prepared for match. During the game one defence
player slided through to my ankle and I got injured. Ambulance took me to the
hospital immediately and the doctor wanted MR of my leg. When the doctor got
the films he decided to make an operation. After the operation the club doctors
decided that I can’t play soccer anymore in the professional team and I turn back
to Turkey. I’m really sad because my dreams come to naught.
