After that day he sent my family a message, the message was about me. They offered to me play for their team as a captain. I was on the moon at this moment because I had always dreamed of playing for one team and my dreams came true. I played nearly two years as a captain of this team. However, unfortunately I had to end up my career due to injury and also my family’s expectations were different on me. Therefore I was obligated to focus on my studying.
