1 Player Profile: Emrah Klimenta

EMRAH KLIMENTA (21)
BAY AREA AMBASSADORS


After leading the Bay Area Ambassadors to the NPSL Finals, 21-year-old attacking midfielder Emrah Klimenta is packing his bags and taking his talents to Europe.  Klimenta is in search of a once-in-a-lifetime for many young Californians - playing professional soccer against the world's best.  

Emrah, an elegant true #10, is as comfortable lying deep to distribute the ball as he is venturing forward into the box.  He played this role to devastating effect and scored 2 goals in the Ambassador's recent 4-1 victory in the NPSL Western Conference finals.  His style of play is quite stereotypical of a Californian soccer player - a blend of diverse cultural influences.

Watch here as Emrah scores twice to lead his team to the NPSL Finals!


Born in Montenegro, Emrah has played many different styles of soccer - living in Turkey and Germany before arriving in the Bay Area.  Soccer is in his DNA.  Both his grandfather and father were professional players back in Yugoslavia.  By going to Europe perhaps Emrah is simply fulfilling his destiny.

But Emrah could hardly have gotten this chance to live his dream without the "wonderful" experiences playing the Bay Area Ambassador's quick, attractive soccer:
"I have definitely learned and gained a lot from both the coaches and players on the team."
The team's strong coaching and, as Emrah describes,"fast, strong, and very collective soccer" helped him mature as a player.  

Here at the Futbol Collective we are always supportive of Californian teams with philosophies driven by technical, possession-focused soccer, because it brings out the skilled attributes of a player like Klimenta.  This type of attractive soccer is what Americans deserve to see day in and day out.

Emrah's timing to go to Europe also couldn't be better.  He is scheduled to trial with several German and Swiss 2nd & 3rd division clubs during the period where they look to add players for the upcoming season.  As an American amateur player with no transfer fee, Klimenta is a bargain for any interested clubs in the current hyper-inflated European player market.

While the Ambassadors will surely miss his talents in the NPSL Finals, The Futbol Collective wishes Emrah Klimenta the best of luck on his journey to Europe!
