There has thousands players in Portugal, but Cristianinho has only 1. When i studied there i meet 2 football players in my class, 1 of them was Lisbon youngster regional team member and another 1 was in youngster squad of Estrela Amadora. Both of them had given up to be professional since be senior, but keeping to playing in regional prefecture leagues. The reason is not of they are bad, just because many people are better than them.
But some japanese players are learning playing football in europe in youngster then even in senior career, mostly are the best ones. Even ex-Pegasus player Yuto Nakamura is in Portimonense of 2nd division.
What a shame, i never saw a foreign player staying in that country, playing then doing part-time job in same time. Anyway, this is just only happening in Hong Kong and Macau.
But do you know Cristianinho fled from Nacional of Madeira autonomy island to mainland's Sporting, he sacrifices a lot, before this happened he has already treated as genius in football world, but doesn't mean he didn't need to care nothing.
What i know in the semi-professional league of many countries, foreign players have better condition than the local players. For example in Andorra, Luxembourg, Cyprus and many other amateur league countries. Because the head have responsability with them which is normal in Europe and North America, instead in many Asian nations. Even these players were amateur in their homeland, but become professional since arrive in foreign.
(cont.) Even the local league is not any good, at least have good results in the selection team. I think if Chan Siu Ki want to learn from english club, should not in this age, should be since the childhood. About my problem of language, i am not chinese han ethnic, i am belonged the minority ethnic of Macau. I understand cantonese just because i grow up in there but i was educated under portuguese education.
@riversaviola HK football is not a piece of trash~~~most players are trying their best and i think they're doin quiet well~~we're only let down by the HKFA
The problem of Andorra is not what you think, some of them go another side of border, to Catalunya region of Spain playing football. Just like these african in HK, looking for football dream in foreign country. That's why they play an acceptable football, even as the worst team of europe, just because the rest of squad remaining in their country due the duty reasons. And i think, those players small places, like HK and Macau must put the players grow up in foreign.
playing in hk league mean that player can't be the professional player in his own country,like that black guy,he come form nigeria,but skill is really poor,nigeria professional league didn't need him,but he want to keep going his career,so caome to hk is the only way,but the wage only HKD 5000,two years ago,no any hk division one soccer team want to sign him,so he play the hk division 2 amateur league with no wage,this is the meaning of 托布球員
Andorra is not as good as england because the training method and talent is different. funny,you don't know how to read chinese,but know what a this video talking?just kidding~~
You have compared Cristianinho with HK players, maybe that are not what these HK guys want to gain as player, but this is what they deserved. If you want to say i am underestimating HK chinese players, never mind. Do you know the China national team players, which gain so much money in european leagues, they just draw 0-0 in front of Andorra national team, which the country has just less than 90000 population, almost all andorran players are amateur. And this is fair for them?
