Footballers 1who come from other countries to play in the UK often have problems. Some of the players 2who are playing in the UK now are quite young and so they easily feel homesick. And then there are things like food – people 3who were brought up on spicy food or exotic fruit don’t always like typical British food. But the biggest problems 4that they face seem to be the weather and the language. The country 5that they come from might be very hot, which the UK isn’t. It isn’t always easy for players 6who come from Brazil or Mexico, for example, to adapt to the grey skies and short winter days 7that they experience in England. And not all the foreign players learn English very well – the ones 8who do, tend to find it easier to adapt.
