NZ ALSO PRODUCES FOOTBALLERS
It's not in the sports media in Portugal and Europe that New Zealand can produce fertile talent. Rugby is what moves crowds but not all necessarily have to go down that route.
And there, as everywhere, people prefer football. This is the case of Tyler Boyd, 21 player making tonight, his debut with the first team Vitoria Guimaraes.
After 21 games and six goals for the secondary team, the manager Sérgio Conceição was convinced that he was ready for new requirements and the coach gave him the highest and cast him to start a game against a candidate for the title.
But this is not the only case of such a long journey to play in Portugal. Santamaria also of New Zealand nationality, also appeared in our football in the 1987/88 season, when he played for Farense. But without success, since he only played once and 73 minutes in the home defeat to Elvas.
