The second problem is the cold weather. Many African footballers across Europe find it hard to compete due to the weather. The third is the English style of football. English footballers play long passes and they keep the ball in the air mostly. African football, on the other hand, is played on the ground like Italians.
African footballers do lots of dribbling and shorter passes.
Abe Taylor, USA Certain African players can fit right in the British Premier league depending on their style. Flair players like Kanu would be better suited to the Spanish or French league. But direct players like Yeboah have proven that they can do well in the Premier league. They only seem to complain when it involves African players and never when it involves a South American player. I think Spain and Italy provide a better platform for African players to flourish and showcase their god-given talent.
