The British Daily Star reported on the 30th (Korea time) 'EPL Secretariat has established a professional care team to help foreign athletes' families live in the UK. The care team plays a role in helping his family, including players who have transferred from overseas to EPL clubs, settle and adapt.
The EPL, which rolls at an astronomical amount, is a league where the world's best players gather. It is also solid in terms of structure, such as characters and loyal fans of each club with history and tradition. However, it is a league where not a few foreign players have difficulty adapting. It has been pointed out that there are many difficulties in British life itself, such as weather and environment, as well as at a higher league level.
South American and other European players, who do not have a relatively large cultural difference from Europe compared to Asia, are also having difficulties. Angel Di Maria's wife Jorge or Cardoso "I was told one day by Angel that I had received a transfer offer from Manchester United. I didn't want to go, but he asked me to come with him. I decided to go because my weekly wage was high"But England was not good at all. There were a lot of strange people, and the meal was the worst", he pointed out. Sarah, the wife of Ilkay Gündogan, who is from Germany, also said "I'm sorry, but to be honest, I don't have a favorite restaurant in England" I tried to find a good place, but it wasn't easy to find a dish. Most of them were frozen food" he said. Hugo Shetter, who works for the care team, said "It's hard to move overseas. It's a big problem if the player is satisfied but the family is not."
Given that a player's success is not only basic skills and attitudes, but also the surrounding environment, such complaints from his family are difficult to ignore. If top-level players avoid the league due to such external problems, it will inevitably cause problems in the league's competitiveness in the long run, leading to worsening profits. This is why the EPL Secretariat launched the 「Professional Care Team」.
