Following her signing for USA W-League side Pali Blues, Servet Uzunlar is settling into life in California and enjoying the peculiar perks of an Aussie Abroad.
Girls FC caught up with Servet and asked her a few questions before the season starts this weekend with Pali Blues taking on Los Angles.
How are you settling in now you-ve finally arrived in the Golden State?
I-m settling in pretty easily actually. California is so beautiful and the weather is only getting hotter, which feels a bit like summer at home in Cronulla.
What-s the most interesting thing you-ve seen so far?
Most interesting? Well there-s been a couple. Last week playing a scratch match with Will Ferrell and Gerald Butler at Robbie Williams- personal backyard 5-a-side pitch was pretty fun. Also the characters you see on Venice boardwalk are pretty cool, oh, and drive-thru ATMs.
How are your new teammates?
Teammates are great and really friendly. They-ve welcomed me into the squad and I can-t wait to get out onto the pitch with the team.
Are you looking forward to your first match?
The season starts this weekend but I’m coming back from a medial strain, so I probably won-t play until next week-s match against Santa Clarita.
Tell us about your new coach?
My coaches name is Charlie Naimo. He is a nice guy and likes to play a passing game.
Best thing about being in the US?
The best thing about the US, in particular LA, is meeting/seeing the stars and places where they have filmed big movies.
What do you miss most about Australia?
I miss my family and friends of course, my car and my bed. And my mum-s cooking!
