Editor's Note:
As one of the most popular sports in China, football is attracting more and more excellent players and coaches from abroad. A total of 27 foreign football coaches from Europe now teach football classes in more than 20 schools in Shanghai each week. They are all from the powerful footballing countries with a Coaching Certificate Level A&B in UEFA.
