It all started when I played with my school team in the final's of the national school team of the year. I was really excited always wanted to play in the finals of this as I had played 2 years for the school team and we always lost in the finals, but now this was our year nothing could go wrong.
We started playing, I as always played on the right side in the midfield, but I was know to be able to cover many areas. 20' minutes passed and the side's looked evenly matched. Until it happened, what I have always wanted to take, i could loose. 34' minute the opposition scored, as a it looked I thought we will never be able to come back. First Half finished and we are loosing to reigning champions.
I lost all hope, but then the coach came up to me and said "Ricardito, entra a la cancha y dale como Cristiano Ronaldo". I was known to be a huge fan of Cristiano Ronaldo when he was in his last year of football. So the coach inspired me by saying I should play the Ronaldo way. So I went out there and it began, I saw it coming the ball came towards me, and I started to dribble, and show of my tricks I was known to practice after practice, and there I was, beat one player and the next and the next leaving me with only the keeper to beat, I shot and went in on the top right corner most exciting goal I have ever scored. Only 15' minutes left of the game and there was nothing to separate our sides, but finally only 2 minutes away, It came the ball towards me, I was dribbling again, but this time it was team work made great exchange of passes with my team mates, and then the ball went out for the corner. Only with 1 minute to spare the ball is crossed outside and with no bounce I volley it in and score. There it was I won the school the trophy that hasn't gone to our grounds since 15 years. I was Proud.
After the match, We were celebrating like crazy, then the coach "ruined" it for me calling me in. He told me "Ricardo algien bien importante te viene a hablar." I thought it was the Principal but it turns out, It was Cobreloa's manager. I didn't know what he wanted but then he asked me "Nino juegas por algune club" I couldn't believe it he just basically asked me to join the club with no time to waste I said "Si, jugare con ustedes". I couldn't believe I just joined a Chilean Football Team.

I started playing for Cobreloa at the age of 15. I couldn't believe, I was actually going to play this season. I was all ways upped up to do the utmost I could do to prove I deserved to be playing for a Club like Cobreloa, I played 18 league matches and scored 14, I couldn't believe I did that good for a 15 year old. I remember all my goals like if it was yesterday. Though of course I'm not going to write all about them. But I was overjoyed when I scored against Colo-Colo and I remember of the way people reacted due that I was 15 to have scored against them. Also my best match against Universidad de Chile I started that match and I ended up scoring 2 goals against my favorite Chilean side. Well after a great season, I one many things. I was Young Chilean Player of the Year, Also voted into the top 30 of wonderkids list, and also voted Revelation of the Chilean League. I really couldn't believe that from school football, I am now a professional that has won things in life. but I thought I did something wrong...
The coach called me over to talk about something. He finally said it, he told me that I wasn't going to play with them no more, as a 15 year old of course I started shouting and disagreeing with him that I should be able to continue. but finally I let him finish, he said that after the great season I had, I was being transferred to a top Chilean club. Universidad de Chile, I couldn't believe this was happening, so i phone my parents to tell them the good news. They allowed me to go play and before I left, I thank the coach for all that he has given me. I couldn't believe it, next year I'm playing with Universidad de Chile.
