I was assessed through a match where they watched me play and gave me admission. I trained with them for the first time, and they assessed me, and when they were satisfied with my performance, they gave me an admission letter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ugochukwu\u2019s passion for football started when he was in Primary 5, where he played street soccer and in the school team. He has kept his passion for the game till now. Talking about his motivation, Ugochukwu says, \u201cI love playing football naturally because I love Ronaldo. He is my motivation and my football icon.\u201d He says that he works with the ball outside his training time with the academy.<\/p>\n<p>Ugochukwu\u2019s future goal is to become a professional footballer and play for big teams like Real Madrid after he is done with his education. In his own words, \u201cI want to become a professional footballer. I want to play for big teams like Real Madrid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his advice to other young people who love football and would like to join the academy, Ugochukwu said, \u201cWork hard and keep working on yourself, and do not give up. Some people give up because they feel they are too old to play football, but it does not matter. Just keep working and believing in yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ugochukwu\u2019s story is one of passion, hard work, and dedication to the beautiful game.
