since he was just 7 years old. he moved to England due to his parent's job, He loved playing soccer more than anything else and practiced a lot, even juggling the ball hundreds of times in a row. by the time he was 8, He watched soccer players on TV and then tried to copy their moves. When he was 10, he really started to focus on his soccer career, going to training camps and joining youth teams. 


In Dec 2013 under 17 games against Brazil was particularly memorable for him 4-1 win, and it made him believe that he could play soccer at the highest level. This experience was so significant that he even got the date tattooed on his arm. “That was the match when I really felt like I could play at the highest level, that I could do this” he said in his book.

Christian faced a big decision. He had an offer from Borussia Dortmund, a famous club in Germany, but it meant moving far away from home at just 15 years old. He talked it over with his parents and listened to his agent. Six months before he had to decide, his dad felt he wasn't ready. especially because there weren't many examples of Americans doing the same thing successfully. 

But one day, in 2014, Christian told his parents he was ready to go. But by FIFA rule, they will not allow to join a European academy until you are 18. This made things really hard for him, especially since soccer had always been his way of feeling good during tough times.

Finally, after four months, his passport issue was sorted out, and he could play again, before he turned 16, he flew to Germany with his dad. It was tough leaving family and friends behind.
