PHILIP LEE FAI-LAP
Manager of Hong Kong First Division club Buler Rangers.
Would it be fair to describe you as one of the more controversial figures in Hong Kong soccer?
I don't think so. Football's my hobby. I've tried my best to promote young players. When they are 13 or 14 they are of the same level as in other countries in Asia, but as they grow up their attitudes become quite bad. It makes me disappointed.
Was it like this in its heyday 20 years ago?
Twenty years ago there wasn't as much entertainment. After school all you could do was go and play seven-a-side. If you could be a First Division player you would treasure it.
Does that mean you won't be focusing on young Cantonese players?
