a boy you can't put you out of ford or. live you know go for fun. in the last few years there's been a rush of european football schools to china and my sides feel lifting the game standard here is something china can do on it sorry. i sing a lot off and you can. but new source schools will look at sudan and really copy it because they started a good cross check and now you can spread it out but from my point a few it's really important for them to console swiss european clubs or schools where they have the experience bring them in let it explain let them build up coaches here in china and they could start. but what's really amazing about all this is that these coaches have bypassed cities like by aging in

shanghai to come here to see what really is a very out of the why remote town it just shows that those in the know think that this here is the future of chinese football. not that the students themselves saying that interested in the home grown lee. was the back and only window which was all made up in the new year me oh you're going to go on the day. that old old. boss. in me is similar. to lord joel sharp don't tell the sunday council my ideas or sounds i was wrong we can. make my account.

from the cold mountains and you know don more than a thousand kilometers to the east it's nanjing a bustling city of million. here astray and transcends bre is already living in the chinese football dream. he's one of the staff foreign players for the local club. if you ask me to and that's it here. so is it he's taken to some of the local customs. officials it's a really cold day or. chucking it down outside come inside in this. oil. yeah basically i mean the chinese are very certain their ways when it comes to the very same with the t.v. special offer training. there. is less enthusiasm for local cuisine and i tried duck tongue. didn't last long.

it didn't last long. for the way spaghetti bolognese got there on the on the menu the farm boys are basically happy. he was lured more than a year ago from a dutch club with a surprise offer on a two million dollar transfer fee to come to a city he'd never even thought about. of all places and i think this would have been in the top one hundred to be honest. yeah i didn't think i'd ever play in china so it was always the english premier league is always a top target for everyone and then also european leagues. want to just explode out of nowhere so and it gives great opportunities for players like myself to set themselves up after football while still enjoying themselves. right despite china never being on he's right friends making the most of the adventure. going over there in price and trying so a cup of much as a culture is possible because you not really going to get much of a chance to say that i lived in china so when the opportunity came we took it by

fans. his family has flown from perth for the first time to watch imply and the pressures are. likely the coach has been giving him less game time triggering speculation that he might be on the way out. and he's club junge susu ning has no shortage of ambition or money it's only by a massive electronic screw. but it splashed close to one hundred million dollars on big name imports in the past two years and it's not just spending in china suiting bold italian super club into milan for three hundred eighty million dollars it was just one of a string of chinese tighe overs of european football clubs. overseas some mass mind again for and around just same ridiculous but at the same time i mean if you want to make a statement and you want to get your name out to the public especially in europe it's what's necessary i guess and over here club owners can destroy as much much
