Radamel Falcao's challenge of adapting to life at Man Utd

Radamel Falcao's challenge of adapting to life at Man Utd
28.05.2020 21:35
Such is the predictable correlation between the amount of money a football player costs or earns and public expectation levels, it's safe to assume Radamel Falcao - whose well publicised salary is around £265,000 per week - is not going to get much leeway when he first appears in a Manchester United shirt.

It seems to be a simple equation: incomprehensibly high wages, or a snappily quotable transfer fee, are supposed to come with the guarantee of instant quality.But should they really?The human element seldom scratches the surface of the public conscience when analysing the impact of a new player.While the international language of football might be clear when he gets out onto the training pitches at Carrington, attempting to integrate into a new culture and not having a clue about how to get around unaided throws up all sorts of challenges - even more so when a player has the happiness and security of a young family to consider.Falcao is married to an Argentine singer - Lorelei Taron - and they have a baby daughter who was born in Monaco. She recently celebrated her first birthday.An enormous salary is obviously a help when learning to live in a new country, but has limited worth if your family is homesick and feeling isolated by a language barrier.Hotel living, sometimes for months until you get settled, can drive everyone up the walls. The key for United is to help Falcao and his family feel at home as quickly as possible.This is the sixth different country he has played in - but the first that is not Latin or Mediterranean.In theory, the business of settling in should be exponentially easier for Falcao than was the case when English football began casting the net for talent with global abandon.(BBC)Bakudaily.Az
