“We have to balance local development with long-distance recruitment [of players living abroad with Hong Kong passports], to ultimately deliver better individuals for the senior team.”
Morling and Andersen have quickly formed a good relationship, even though the Englishman is constantly “freezing” in the office, because “Jorn always has the air-conditioning on”.
“He is really passionate about wanting to do well for Hong Kong, and wants the best development programme possible,” Morling said. “His enthusiasm is infectious … I hope he stays for a long time.”
「當時我收到不少邀約,來自英格蘭、荷蘭、德國等不同球會。在挪威不少人都是英格蘭足球的支持者,大家都很支持利物浦、曼聯等球會,但我自己比較喜歡德國足球的風格,所以我接受了紐倫堡(1. FC Nürnberg)的邀約。」效力紐倫堡三季後,1988年安達臣轉會到法蘭克福(Eintracht Frankfurt),首季表現平平、但第二季開始大爆發,全季攻入18球協助球隊以第三名完成德甲,更成為德甲史上第一位贏得神射手的外援。
「以往都有不少外援球員在德國取得成就,像Boom Boom Cha(車範根 Cha Bum Kun)是比我更早在德國取得成功的外援,但我是第一位贏得神射手,而且法蘭克福不像拜仁、多蒙特規模龐大,能夠在一支中游球隊贏得神射手稱號,是一件值得自豪的事情。」職業生涯效力過多支德國著名球會,兩度效力法蘭克福之外,也在杜塞爾多夫、漢堡、德雷斯頓戴拿模留下足跡,1995年轉會瑞士甲組班霸蘇黎世(FC Zürich)後,一直在瑞士發展。
