The little giant Chanathip tries hard in Japan for a big goal. (4ページ目)

"If I get a chance, I would like to play in Europe one day," he says. "As I said, I don't watch a lot of football matches on TV, so I don't have any favourite clubs or leagues. But I am not sure I'd be able to play in the biggest leagues such as England, Germany, or Spain because I have only played in Thailand and Japan. That's why I think it is better to take things step by step. Anyway, there haven't been any offers from Europe so far. I want to succeed here in the J-League and gain attention from there."
