Adopted Brazilian dreams big for Hong Kong at Asian Cup

Hong Kong lost 3-1 to the United Arab Emirates in their opening match but the 32-year-old forward set up their goal and the lowest-ranked team in Qatar are still alive in the tournament. The powerful Everton, who only got his Hong Kong passport in August, came into the competition in pulsating international form with five goals in his first six games.

His rise to international football with the side ranked 150 in the world is the culmination of a long and itinerant career in Hong Kong's domestic game, having arrived in the Chinese city aged 24. "In Brazil there are too many players, there is a lot of competition," told Everton.

"If I tried to play professionally in Brazil, I was going to be one of a bunch, playing in a third, fourth or fifth division. Maybe I wouldn't have the chance to go any higher,"  said the forward.
