Europeans especially portugese had so much of influence on goa. Most goans with same surnames are actually connected to people in europe or brazil. Romeo fernandez was asked if he has ancestors from brazil. He said no. Brazilians should rather know that romeo had ancestors from europe so do brazilians. Thats how football spread in latin america
surely Clubs have to better suited at scouting Asians
As far as the quality of Asian's in the I-League
Katsumi Yusa was crucial in MMB success last year , more influential than PIBO
Sean Rooney goals /assists helped BFC secure the title in 2013-14
Churchill Brothers success the previous year was led by the very Good asian signings , Bilal Narjarine was arguably the best ever Asian to grace the I-League
Tolgay Ozbey was instrumental in KEB Cup success under TJM before that
At the other end of the table , Mumbai FC have been grateful for survival due to the defensive ( & often scoring ) abilities of the likes of Taisuke Matsugae & Zohan Amiri
Shillong Lajong have had Minchol Son give their defence a much needed stability.
We can all surly list one very poor non-Asian that clubs have signed in the past 5 years , that was worse than any Indian player
