The British media satirized the Chinese Super League again: Jinyuan football is just messing around, Saudi Arabia is just like them
The recent introduction of a large number of European football stars in the Saudi League has sparked heated discussions. The British "Daily Mail" stated that Saudi Arabia's crazy buyers cannot fundamentally change football. China and Russia have also made similar attempts, but in the end they were just Flash in the pan.
"Daily Mail" stated that in 2016, the Chinese Super League experienced a financial crisis that was extremely crazy, but finally collapsed. When they started spending money crazily, they instantly became the focus of the global sports world, and everyone was talking about the Chinese Super League. Look at the banknotes, look at the controversy. It's just that when people marvel at how rich Zhongchao really is, few people find that most of their output is rubbish. Jinyuan football did not bring substantial help to the Super League. The TV broadcasting rights of the Chinese Super League are still not favored by few companies, business activities have hardly increased, and there is no sustainable business model! The Chinese Super League at that time was basically an empty shell, not a real sport. People only care about the transfer business, the numbers on the contract, almost no one cares about football itself.
In an interview with the media earlier, UEFA President Ceferin said: "I think this will be a mistake for Saudi football. Why is this a problem for them? Because they should invest in youth training and introduce good players. Coaches, they should develop their own players. The way they are signing players who are at the end of their careers is not good for the development of football, they are making mistakes that China made a few years ago."
Regarding Ceferin's remarks, former AFC official Saudi Medelai said: "We are just getting started. From now on, all football players who are available for sale will be targeted by Saudi clubs. The experience of Chinese football has nothing to do with us , their experience is purely marketing, football is not the most popular there. In Arabia we have a national project and it will not be limited to four great teams but all teams because the Saudis are The passion for football knows no bounds."
