Prolific striker Silva’s Hong Kong passport regret, says watching team makes him sad

Tai Po striker Lucas Silva tops Hong Kong Premier League scoring charts ahead of potential title decider with Eastern
Prolific Tai Po striker Lucas Silva said he carried “a bit of regret” over missing his opportunity to play for Hong Kong, after ending a five-year stay in the city in 2021.
The 34-year-old also led the league’s scoring charts, with 15 goals, when he won the title with Kitchee in 2018. After a fallout with Kitchee, Silva joined Eastern midway through the 2019-20 season, but 18 months later left to join former club Aimoré in Brazil.
Silva, who was playing in Malaysia before signing for Tai Po, said while a lot of good things had happened after leaving the city, he did have some remorse over the decision.
“I see my friends playing for Hong Kong and it would be exciting,” he said. “Sometimes, I look and think they need another striker. But I try to not think about it too much, because it would make me sad.”
The centre-forward said becoming champions with his current team would outweigh his title achievement with Kitchee seven years ago.
