It is as simple as that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think they have less chances. I don\u2019t think they want it as bad as some of the players over there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of kids nowadays probably, their lifestyle is too luxurious. They want all the latest gadgets, and trainers and not willing to lock themselves in a room for 5-6 hours a day, which many of the Chinese players do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are hungrier than them. That is my attitude. Apart from a couple of players, Stan Moody, is one of them, who looks like he wants it and works hard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut other than that, I don\u2019t think the hunger is there to be honest.
