Hi, my name is Oscar Bentley and this is how I became a professional player. Ok, let's start from the beginning soccer was in my genes, and my dad was a formly professional player had the most goals in the liga BBVA. The liga BBVA is the biggest liga in the world. Looking at the players standpoint, the liga BBVA had the best players in the world and my dad got the most goals in the liga in the year 1956-1957. That is when he got the most goals and he told me that when he touch the trophy he said that he thought of me . I was born in March 22,1987 in Los Angeles, California. My father said  to me that he saw something in my eyes and he said that one day he would going to play with me and he was right .

  When I was a kid I loved to play soccer. It was in my genes to kick the ball. My dad said that I was the best but I did not know that because of  how small I was . At that time I was about three and I kicked the ball pretty well . Sometimes he was brought  me to one of his practica and I love how they passed the ball around.
Ok, there I’m in the training for LA Galaxy when I was ten. I learn a lot of things from the trainings and the games. Then my parents and I move to mexico to play for the club of my heart, and that is club America. I can’t lie, it was hard at the beginning because there were kids there before me. By the way I was 15 at the time. I was on the bench for the team for a while until they saw my talent on the field. The coach put me in the game with 15 minutes left and I scored a goal in the first five minutes. I was there and after the goal I smell the grass and it smell like fresh cut grass  .
After the game my coach told me that if I played like that ever today he would take me off of bench and that what happened. I was the star player for that rest of that section. About three years ago when  I was at the the trainings cap and my coach said,“Oscar, you can be in the first liga so you can play with the pros”
“Really I can!! I have been dreaming of this moment,” said Oscar
“You're the best in the liga ,you can do great things in the first liga. You were had the top scores for the liga. You scored 25 goals and it looks like a bullet coming your way when you kick the ball.”coach said
“Thank you for the chance to play in the the first liga.”said Oscar
I start trainings the next day with the first team, and it was the best time of my life . It took me two months to go and play for the first team games. I was 19 at the time when I scored my first goal in the first liga and my coach told me that he saw a bullet coming at the goale . After that is was like the back of the net. Coach loved me because I scored goals every game for five games .
Then people form the liga BBVA look at me and they like what they saw. They were thinking of   bringing  me to their liga . There was a problem, but it was not a bad one I  had to pick from three different clubs there were Real Madrid, Barcelona ,and Atletico Madrid . I spent most of my career playing for Barcelona and I love playing  for my dad’s old team. I remember that my dad told me  to enjoy my time in that club because time will fly and he was right. Before I knew  it was the end of my career . For my final three years I went back to  club america and played there and that’s how I became a professional. Now I have a kid of my own and I hope that he would love soccer as much as I do. Always follow your dreams in whatever you want to do.
