I’m assuming most people here have had a dreams of playing in cup final scoring the winner and such
So how far did you get to reaching such dreams
Did you reach academy levels l or high
I thought of this question because I’ve one of dad’s "oh I could played pro if it wasn’t for my shit knees
During high school, I played against a guy which later played on a portuguese 1st league middle tier team and then went to play for a team in the MLS. He was a fast paced, techincal winger.
Playing against us in high school he would come out the bench, go through our entire team like we were traffic cones, score 5 goals in 4 minutes and then go to the bench again, not to risk injuries. I consider myself a very decent amateur player, but the difference was gigantic… People don’t even realize on how much pro players are on another level 😅 The player was Gerso Fernandes btw
