keep playing at ***** league and you'll never be remembered..you should move to EPL or Spanish league to clubs like Man Un, Chelsea, Barcelona or Real Madrid and then you can say you play at great clubs.. Unfortunately Seria A Italian league have dropped a lot in football and that's why not many people enjoy watching it like other leagues.. Whatever you choose silva is your football career and peolpe around the world will support for whatever club you play...
