Hello Everyone, I know people have posted things like this but i really feel like i have a big decision to make here.
I currently play in Dubai, U.A.E, right now im training in the academy of a local professional club with the u17, if i continue to train with them i am 100% sure that i will be on the team and sooner or later starting 11. I play for my school but we have finished all our fixtures, i play both u16 ( captain ) and u19. My coach thinks i am a very good centre back and so do i.
The problem is:
-The players i train with are not serious they dont care about winning and their attitude towards training is like a social club, i know for a FACT that i am better than a lot of the players currently signed with the club, most of them have connections and good realtionships with influential people in the club.
-The coach, his idea is right but doesnt enforce anything, he complains about how his players dont put any effort and are just messing around, yet fails to discipline them, he is more like their friend not their coach.
-The atmosphere in general is not professional and i feel it is unhealthy for my mental state to continue training with them.
I have a choice though:
I can move to ireland and try to play for a club there as my family are welcoming of me staying with them and studying and playing. I just want to know if it is worth it to play in ireland, i know big clubs have scouting networks in ireland, but i am not 100% sure of the club set up there.
My idea is that if i go play in ireland i can easily travel to england for trials, while at the same time trying to reach the elite teams in the irish league.
Im confused at the moment and dont know what to do, my friend is in a similar situatuion but he is signed with one of the clubs here till end of season.
Should we try our luck abroad???
Any advice would be helpful, for the record im 16 and play centre back
