Estevez, who is from Portugal and made his professional debut in 1997, joined Seoul in 2010 after playing for Benfica and Regina (Italy). At that time, high expectations were high, but he left the team before finishing the first half with a record of four goals in 11 K-League games. Afterwards, he joined Dalian through Maritimu, but left a poor record of one goal in seven games.
Estevez said "Chinese players are very hostile to foreign players. "Because they know that foreign players have higher salaries than themselves," he said. "One time, I went to dinner, and when I sat down, all the other players happened. I'm their colleague, and they treated me like an outsider. That alienation was a huge shock to me" he insisted. In addition, `Chinese players envied foreign athletes' income but did not try to develop themselves. Their training attitude was unacceptable. I didn't even understand basic techniques, tactics," he stressed. Regarding his injury two months after joining Dalian, the doctor said he broke his ankle and ruptured his ligament, which is a simple sprain. Only after returning to Portugal did I get an accurate diagnosis, but at that moment my career was already over. China ruined my career," he said.
