You’ve probably heard this
story before, a young footballer with dreams of making it to the big time.
Dario Ferella started playing the beautiful game at the age of 9
and since then, football has inspired his childhood and teenage
years.
Mr.Ferella grew up in
Melbourne, Australia. It was not until he moved to Budapest, Hungary in
2007 that he reached a turning
point in his footballing career. He began
playing in Hungary and was coached by the former international
captain and ex-professional, Jason Banff. With his influence, Mr.Ferella’s
technical and game intelligence skills improved surprisingly.
In early 2010, he began
contacting clubs and managed to receive trials from interested clubs in
Australia however, despite spending lots of money , he came up short on
those trials each time. he realized something needed to change
and acknowledged that he needed to make his weaknesses becoming his
strengths, and his strengths even stronger. So Humphries worked to
correct them by himself, through sunshine and snow, with no
promise of reward, or people connections to get Mr.Ferella to the next
level.
By the end of 2010, he was
invited by Dutch coach Jen Versleijen to play with in the U-20 FIFA World Cup
with the train on squad for Australia at just 18 years of age. At this time he
was also offered scholarships from
various Australian universities. In July
2011, he was on trial with former Hungarian champions Vases SC, but
strangely could not sign with the club “because he could not speak
Spanish”. With the aim of somewhere to start his career, by October
of that year, he was invited on trial by SC, and offered a first team contract, but conditions were
insecure. Yet another trial in January 2012 with STZK TK went well – but he was then forced to
return Australia. Semi-professional Woden Valley took him on board and he
ended up starting all games, by the time he left in June, he scored 4 and
assisted 7 goals in 16 appearances for the mid-table team. Mr.Ferella moved to
Amsterdam that October and joined up with FC Club.
