Goalkeeper who conceded 10 goals in the World Cup works in a pharmacy warehouse: 'I'm going to suffer with rent'

Bayern Munich scored the biggest win in the history of the Club World Cup by beating Auckland City 10-0 in a match valid for the first round of Group C. The New Zealand team has a playmaker. The starting goalkeeper, for example, works in a pharmacy warehouse.

To participate in the competition in the United States, Conor Tracey had to negotiate with his bosses. “I will have to do a combination of annual leave and unpaid leave. I will suffer a bit with rent, bills and things like that, but playing against Bayern, Benfica and Boca… it is 100% worth it,” he said in an interview, according to Spanish newspaper Marca .

Before the World Cup, he worked overtime to cover the days he would need to be away, he told ESPN UK's website. "Fence is always a problem, it's never easy," he said. "When I joined this company, I said to them, 'If you want to hire me, I would love to be here, but the problem is I've already committed to football.'"

According to Tracey, the reality of the Auckland City team represents 99.9% of football players, where the minority are professionals.

"We don't really see the sun because we're at work all day, we go to training and then we come back [home] at 9pm, 9:30pm... for some of the guys who have families, it's very difficult," he said.

At Auckland City, the players prioritize their studies and their professions, and the only motivation for dedicating themselves to training and playing matches is their passion for football. The management's expenses are focused on team travel to matches, staff maintenance and the costs of social actions promoted by the players for the benefit of the local community.
