On the evening of December 18, Beijing time, the news from the "Marca Newspaper" that Brunei national team captain Faik Jeffrey Borkia has terminated his contract with the Portuguese Premier League's Marítimo Club!
A player who is not well-known, and a club that is not well-known, why does Borchia attract the attention of Marca?
A single figure can tell the story, during his time with the team, Borgia once spent as much as 35 million euros a month!
Such consumption is a dime a dozen for him, because his wealth exceeds 20 billion US dollars and he is recognized as the richest man in football! Whether it is C Luo or Messi, all of them have to stand on the sidelines!
Born in Los Angeles and a dual citizen of Brunei and the United States, Borkia was the nephew of King Hassanal Bolkia of Brunei and was born with a golden spoon.
Although his family is extremely prominent, Borkia is by no means a wandering rich second-generation brother, he has been passionate about football since he was a child, and he has shown great talent.
In 2011, at the age of 14, Borkia landed in the Premier League as a member of the Southampton club. In 2014, Borgia competed in consecutive trials for Reading and Arsenal and represented Arsenal in the 2013 Lion City Cup, making his debut against Corinthians, Frankfurt, Eindhoven and Singapore's youth team, scoring a goal in a 2-1 win over Singapore.
Borgia's impressive performance caught Chelsea's attention, ending the Lions Cup match, and Borkia signed a two-year contract with Chelsea.
In March 2016, the 18-year-old Borgia signed a three-year professional contract with Leicester City, and in the summer of 2019, the two sides renewed their contract for one year.
Borquia signed Maridimo as a free agent last September, and on April 11 this year, Bolquia made his debut in a 2-1 win over Guendomar by Marítimo B. But after joining the team for more than a year, he only made 6 appearances for the second team, and borgia was never able to play in the first team.
In desperation, Borkia terminated his contract with the club and regained his freedom. Out of his love of football, the 23-year-old Brunei national team captain should not lie flat, he will continue his football dream and strive to get a chance to play in the Europa League.
