Asian Soccer Star 2010 Disappoints U14′s

April 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Chelsea FC’s Asian soccer star 2010 has become a big disappointment for under 14 boys in Asian communities across the UK.

Just a day after the announcement of Asian soccer star 2010 we have received many emails from boys who have been training hard and looking forward to the chance to showcase their football talent in front of Chelsea academy coaches.

These are determined, talented youngsters with a hunger and desire to get into the professional game, some of whom trialed at Asian soccer star search 2009 but were unprepared.

Surely these commited youngsters should be given a chance to compete at Asian Soccer Star 2010.

We all know professional clubs like to pick kids for their academies as young as possible. But many are dropped as they get older. At the under 14′s age, if the kids are commited and determined about football, they have usually trained for peak performance.

Any under 14′s should write to Chelsea to add their category for Asian soccer star 2010.
