China News Service, Beijing, March 22 (Reporter Xing Rui) In the World Cup qualifying match that ended on the evening of the 21st, Beijing time, the national football team was tied with the Singapore team, ranked 156th in the world, after leading two goals. Such a result was unacceptable to many fans. Zhang Linpeng, the captain of the national football team, also bluntly said: "It is a shame for me that even Singapore cannot defeat it."
What made fans "break their defense" was not just the result of the game - the captain of the Singapore men's football team, Harris Harlan, who led the team's counterattack, turned out to be a part-time real estate agent, which was also unacceptable to the fans.

About half a year ago, Harris announced through personal social media that he had joined a real estate company in Singapore. He showed off his work ID and said: "I will go all out in this industry."
A month ago, Harris wrote on social media: "When I am not training, my wife and I work hard to support our family. For this, I am grateful to my best friends who support me on and off the court. Thank you The trust and confidence our clients place in us allows us to be a part of an important milestone in your life. If you have any questions about buying a home, let us help you.”

Although Harris sells homes in the offseason, he is still a professional football player.
Public information shows that Harris was born in November 1990 and has played for clubs such as the Singapore Young Lions, Singapore Twelve Lions and Malaysia's Johor DT during his career. In 2021, Harris joined the Singapore Lion City Mariners, which is also a strong team in the Singapore Professional League.
During his campaign in Malaysia, Harris helped Johor DT win 6 Malaysian Super League championships, 1 Malaysian FA Cup championship, and 1 AFC Cup championship.
As early as 2007, Harris was called up by the Singapore national team. Currently, he has played more than 100 times for the Singapore team and scored 8 goals.

Data from the "German Transfer Market" shows that Harris is currently worth 175,000 euros, or about 1.4 million yuan.
As a football player, Harris, who is about to turn 34, has entered the end of his career. Perhaps it was to prepare for life after retirement that Harris got involved in the real estate industry. There are also media reports that Harris's part-time job is more like a business contract, and the real estate company hopes to use Harris's fame to sell more houses. (over)
