7 STEPS TO CHECK IF YOU REALLY HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE IT IN EUROPE

Everyone says:

“I want to play in Europe.”

Very few players are ready to hear the truth.

Wanting a career is cheap.
Building one is not.

If you are serious about professional football, you must stop dreaming and start verifying.
Here are 7 brutal but fair steps that tell you if Europe is a realistic goal for you — or just a story you repeat to yourself.

This is not for fans.
This is for players.


YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS IN YOUR CURRENT TEAM

Not promising.
Not talented.
Not liked by the coach.

One of the best.

If you are not clearly among the strongest performers in your own team, you are not ready to compete in a stronger market.

Europe does not develop average players from lower levels.
It selects already dominant ones.

Ask yourself honestly:
If an external scout watches your team, would you stand out without someone explaining who you are?


YOU PLAY REGULARLY AND YOUR COACH TRUSTS YOU

If you are not playing where you are today, you will not suddenly start playing in Europe.

Minutes are not a detail.
They are proof.

Many players talk about moving abroad while sitting on the bench at home.
That is not ambition.
That is avoidance.

You must first win your place in your own environment.

No trust at home = no credibility abroad.


YOU TRAIN LIKE A PROFESSIONAL EVEN WITHOUT A PROFESSIONAL CONTRACT

Be honest.

Do you train every day with purpose?
Do you work on your weaknesses?
Do you do extra sessions?
Do you recover properly?

Or do you only train when the team trains?

European football does not reward potential.
It rewards habits.

If your daily routine still looks like an amateur routine, your level will not survive professional expectations.


YOUR PHYSICAL LEVEL IS READY FOR A FASTER, STRONGER GAME

Europe is not about beautiful football.
It is about speed, contact, intensity and repeatability.

Ask yourself:
Can you repeat sprints late in the match?
Can you survive physical duels?
Can you keep technical quality when tired?

Many players from Africa, South America and Eastern Europe fail not because of technique, but because their body is not prepared for the tempo.

Talent without physical readiness gets exposed very fast.


YOU HAVE A CLEAR POSITIONAL IDENTITY

You must know exactly what you are.

Not:
“I can play many positions.”

But:
“I am a pressing winger who attacks space.”
“I am a progressive central midfielder.”
“I am a dominant aerial centre-back.”

Europe signs profiles.
Not flexible players without identity.

If you cannot describe your role in one strong sentence, clubs will not know what problem you solve for them.


YOU CAN SHOW REAL MATCH FOOTAGE – NOT ONLY HIGHLIGHTS

You must be able to show:
full matches,
real actions,
real decision-making.

Not only goals.
Not only skills.
Not only edited clips.

European clubs want to see how you behave without the ball, how you react after mistakes, how you move when nobody watches you.

If you only have highlights, you are still marketing yourself — not proving yourself.


YOU ARE READY TO LEAVE COMFORT, NOT JUST YOUR COUNTRY

Many players want to leave their country.

Very few players are ready to leave comfort.

Europe means:
less playing time at the beginning,
stronger competition,
pressure,
silence,
loneliness,
no special treatment.

If you still need motivation from others, from coaches or from friends, you are not ready yet.

Europe does not build your mentality.
It tests it.


FINAL MESSAGE

Saying “I want to play in Europe” means nothing.

If you are not:
one of the best in your team,
playing regularly,
training daily like a professional,
physically ready,
positionally clear,
able to show real match footage,
and mentally prepared to leave comfort…

…then Europe is not your next step.

It is your future step.

First become undeniable where you are.

If you truly meet all 7 points above, write in the comments:

“I meet all 7.”

And be ready to prove it.
