Pakistanis are good at boxing in the uk tho and there’s a bunch that are breaking through so it’s possible from that route bhaiYou are asking for the impossible, friendo. South asians in general aren't athletic and the only thing they've ever "won" or been top tier at is Cricket. Asking for a footballer to be as good as messi/ronaldo is already asking too much, they're once in a generation type players, both arguably seen as the GOATs (the real GOAT is R9 though), so not only do you want someone who is this type of rarity but also he has to be a chadlite aka Ronaldo, you basically want a South asian version of Ronaldo.
I actually think if south asians cared about football as much as cricket and our countries had a football league and the interest to build, we would be pretty good at it. All our attention is on cricket and India, Pakistan & even Bangladesh have been the best team in the world at different points in time, India still continues to be top tier because they aren't held back due to other factors in their country. Imagine if it was reversed and it was Football instead, i guarantee there would be ton of professional very good footballers from our countries, i mean that's basically what happens in England/etc, football is part of the culture and all the interest is in it. Another issue is that most top tier professional footballers have been training since a very young age, our parents have a different culture and don't build/train us from a young age for anything, just let us be and then just want us to become doctors or get a good job, that's a huge problem aswell, just a different mindset.
South asians are not weak or untalented or whatever. We just need to be given the right guidance and tools and we can and will thrive. England has always had a good cricket team tbh, it's not that popular because football is everything here but the team has had top tier funding/training/everything available for them and so they've excelled for a long time. But still India/Pakistan has overcome them many times, watching the T20 cup now and i wish Pakistan had the same team we had when we won the world cup with IK, now we have to watch England/Australia/etc just meme on us. The new generation of Pakistani crickets are not it.
