Kapanlagi.com - The younger brother of the late comedian Olga Syahputra, Billy Syahputra, apparently had a dream of becoming a professional football player. This 31-year-old man is indeed passionate about this sport.
When met in the Gelora Bung Karno area, South Jakarta recently, Billy Syahputra revealed that he has been fond of playing football since childhood. He even wanted to join a football school, but because of the cost, it was not possible.
"I wanted to become a football player when I was a kid because I had a decent basic skill, but back then, because of the difficult economic situation of my family, I had to postpone joining a football school because I couldn't afford it," said Billy Syahputra.

Nevertheless, Billy claimed that he continued to hone his ability to dribble the ball self-taught. But now he is grateful because through Selebriti FC, his hobby can be channeled.
"Back then, I could only play in the village, self-taught, and now, thank God, I can channel my hobby through SFC," he said.
2. Difficulties in Becoming a Professional Player
In addition, Billy, whose life has now improved through his career, says that becoming a professional player nowadays is quite difficult. Therefore, football is now just a means of exercise and hobby for him.
"It's impossible to become a professional player now, it's difficult even if I only train once a week. You have to be focused if you really want to become a professional player. Now, I just enjoy it as a hobby," he concluded.
