New Kid On The Block, Qingdao West Coast On Quest For Huge Football Dream

Just when we thought we should be the only ones not familiar with CSL, the club was comfortable admitting that they were not familiar with CSL in the first place. In 2021, they were still in Division Two, and in two years, they gained promotion to Division One and eventually to the Chinese Super League. According to the Club’s Chairman, Mr. Xu, everything developed too fast! However, Mr Xu and his team spared no effort to ensure the club was ready for the new CSL season. The club hired many new full-time staff to take on various new roles in business development, media, community engagement, dietician, and many more to meet the demands of a professionally run football club.

“It was not about how many goals I scored, but our outstanding performance in that tournament garnered unexpected attention and support from everyone back home in Macau. Because nobody believes in us, right? Even when we play international friendlies, we rarely win. At most, we get a draw, but we rarely win.

World Cup Legend & Greatest Croatian Striker Davor Suker Speaks Football With JPF

We beat Italy, we beat Germany, we beat England, we beat all the big teams. Then again, all these started young in Croatia. And that’s also what I wanted to do: motivate all the young players to be proud of their country. The moment they touch their football crest or flag on their chest, singing the National Anthem out loud, it’s the country pride they have to play for. In that 1998 World Cup, we showed just that”

Malaysian Football, The Southeast Asian Football That Touches My Heart – Ueda Asahi

“Unlike the temporary break in Chinese football, Malaysian football development is more substantial, as it has proven for the past ten years. Credit has to be given to the HRH Crown Prince for sure. He not only reinforced the first team by injecting high-calibre players such as Jordi Amat, Shane Lowry, Pablo Aimar and more, but he also invested heavily in developing the training centre and the stadium and possessed a long-term vision for the club. Yes, all these might look easy on paper, but the HRH Crown Prince is the one who showed it by action. I have nothing but great respect for him”
