According to the British media "chroniclelive" reported on June 12, the former Taishan team foreign aid Papiss Cisse said in an interview that he chose to play in China's Chinese Super League for a reason.
Speaking about the reasons for leaving Europe to play in China, Cisse revealed : "I chose to go to China because I wanted to help the people behind me. I had to sacrifice my career to get that money."
"I'm doing this to build some public service facilities to help the people in our home country, because you have to provide help and feedback. You know what's going on there - not every day is rosy."
I have a company in Senegal where people work and receive a monthly salary," he said. Currently, I have created an English language school and I am also in the process of creating an academy that aims to provide jobs for the people of my country. I don't just want to help my family and friends, but I want all Senegalese people to be involved and contribute to the development of their country."
