Estonian national team player Erik Sorga is leaving Faroese club Havnar B\u00f3ltfelag (HB) after seven games, citing a difficulty in adjusting to the spartan but costly lifestyle there.<\/p>\n
Sorga, 26, an attacking midfielder, only joined HB in February, but found it hard to settle in in the Faroes, football portal soccernet.ee reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n “I’ll say this \u2014 in that country, there’s nothing to do besides work. I don’t want to speak badly about it, but it’s a very boring country. It’s extremely expensive, the most expensive country I’ve ever been to, and on top of that there are very high taxes on everything,” he said.<\/p>\n “Food is very expensive, and the weather changes every 10 minutes: Sunshine, snow, rain, strong wind and cold. I’m lucky I don’t have to pay for my apartment, because otherwise my entire salary have gone on rent,” he continued.<\/p>\n “On top of that, I lived alone in a very poor apartment and hadn’t seen my family at all. It was the hardest period of my career,” Sorga, whose daughter was born last year, continued.<\/p>\n “I simply couldn’t handle it mentally. I want to enjoy life and be happy, and if I don’t feel that way, there’s no point in continuing. Every day here is the same. We don’t have a team bus, we don’t stay in hotels, we don’t have team catering, and so on. We always travel to matches on our own. Football-wise, there were no problems \u2014 only in my personal life. It was a good lesson for me. Now I know better what kind of conditions and decisions to consider in the future,” Sorga said.<\/p>\n Sorga’s club career outside of Estonia has included stints in the U.S., The Netherlands, Sweden, Bulgaria, Azerbaijan and most recently Vietnam.<\/p>\n During his time in the Faroes, Sorga played seven times for HB in premier league matches and in one cup match, scoring no goals.<\/p>\n Sorga confirmed to soccernet.ee that he has already held some talks about a possible next club, adding no concrete offer is yet on the table.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Follow ERR News on Facebook<\/a> and X<\/a> and never miss an update!<\/p>\n
