a boy you can't put you out of forward in or. let me not 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 sign. i sing a lot of new companies or 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 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. will miss the fact can you only do this with omega only in the only oh you're going to go on the day. that old old. boss. in me is similar. to lord joel char don't tell the sunny come on my ideas or sounds i was wrong we can. make mail account.

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 to be honest there's always the english premier league is always the top target for everyone and they don't see european leagues. on it's just exploded out of nowhere 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 his 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 don't 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 y. out. he's club junk susu ning has no shortage of ambition or money. it's owned by a massive electronics group that has splashed close to one hundred million dollars on big name imports in the past two years and it's not just spending in china soon ingold italian super club into milan for three hundred eighty million dollars it was just one of a string of chinese tyco has of european football clubs. obviously some mass mind again for 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
