years and what you're doing currently today okay so first my name is Ilya and I'm from Bulgaria I'm 19 years old I'm a pro football player I play in Bulgaria say the B team called the comotive Sofia and I start I started my career at seven years old it was strange because my father has sent me at the club at that time I was just playing you know street style on the streets with friends I didn't expecting this so I started my career in first division team in Bulgaria called Lesky Sofia actually it's one of the one of the best teams here in Bulgaria most it's like I'm playing like history and everything so I started my career there you know I was playing for fun when you were young you play just for the love of the game and after every year by passing passing I started you know like having something from this habits you know going every day on training I started liking it I was feeling myself in I was like this is my thing so one day I was 12 years old I started watching your videos and I'm like it was all about the dreams that your aims your goals what you want to do with football because I'm like okay Ilya what you want to do I'm like I want to become a professional soccer player so I was watching your videos thanks God they have me a lot I made my goals I made my aims I was like how I'm gonna achieve them from for what time I'm gonna achieve them and okay let's start so I started working like I was like doing everything professional training two times a day eating started eating healthy most important starting thinking changing my set mindset like a professional football player because without this you're not going anywhere and after this you know I had a massive improvement in my game I swear if I was 20% a player from these things I improve myself until 80% I still have to improve so with these things with these trainings and changing my mindset I started like having a successful successful time in the club I was still there in Nevsky so I started scoring a lot of goals started doing the things which I want to improve my technique my cross my speed my my my physique and everything so I started playing very well I was coaching with the first team to train and then you know guys are coming to watch the game scouts and I was voted for the national team of Bulgaria the first one was under 14 under 14 so I went there you know it's to play for your country is above everything so I didn't expect this no to play for my country and I was so proud you know just I never I never was thinking about this for my national team and okay I was like look what when you work hard the things are they're paying I before I wasn't I wasn't believing in this but it's actually it's like this because the job our job like it's like a person the more you give to the person you're gonna give you back it's like it's a positivity thing so season by season I was playing very well I was training with the first team supported by national team and 2015 we had a Europe championship under 17 the finals yeah so we're in group with Spain Russia and Austria and Bulgaria was yeah Bulgaria in the 7th game so first game we played against Croatia second against Spain third against Austria so I played all games I was like I had a main position in the team I was playing number number 10 but we didn't qualify for the finals but it was a screen from the language it was it was it was unbelievable experience as you can tell whether you said in swearing it's passion man coming through yes yes you know one day you play in front of 100 people and after three years you play against you see 11,000 you never you never think you're gonna see something like this but you know I was I went to warm up and like every game I'm used to you know not everybody came you see some five six people drinking coffee yeah and I went out to warm up you see oh my god 11,000 people I'm like what is what is this and this is the you feel you feel the the profession if you're the football you feel the how great is the game how how much you love it and more things about so after the the Europe Championship I was supported by Italian clubs which I went in Avellino actually it's Serie B team which is making second division and I went there after nine years with Leski Sofia I went there I was the age 16 and a half 16 and a half I went I had a day which I was I should have decided or stay here in Bulgaria or go for my dreams in Europe so I decided I don't care and I know it's going to be hard I know but I need the sacrifices like you said in your videos so I'm like I went there I was playing for the primavera it's actually under 19 in Italian way they say primavera I was playing for one year over the me and we're playing the championship with things like Roma Lazio Napoli and how can I say it is amazing experience I was there I was I was waiting just a little bit like two three months for my documents it was a hard time but but you know we can you can use the time for your for your good every day every second so I decided to train hard even without the rest day so the documents came finally and I started playing very well my first game was against Empoli and down very well I finished 2-2 I made the assist and like this step-by-step plans against good teams Roma Lazio and others I was supported by Barry which is against stadium B team which is okay more more history more emblematic let's say it like this yes and I was supported by them they wanted me to go there to have a like a plan even for the first team to integrate step-by-step so in the summer I went there in 2016 I went there in summer I was 17 and half years old I done the preseason everything was going perfect I don't know it was like I was feeling like you know the days were
