Money Talks, South Americans Walk.

           

Brazil, Argentina and Columbia; what do these guys have in common? Soccer, football or as I call it, My baby. These south American countries are accustomed to creating and possessing some of the best football players on the planet plus the best player on the planet is actually one of them. Imagine only Argentina have Aguero, Messi, Tevez and Higuain. Brazil may not have a star studded team now but they have "relative nobodies" like Neymar, Thiago Silva, David Luiz and Willian. That's not all of them of course and the point of this article isn't to make me salivate. The fact is, South America is blessed, football wise and that's where the blessing ends really.

The Brazilian league is fast growing and the quality of players developed there easily cope with European standards. The same can  be said about other South American leagues of course but top players plying their trade in That continent feel underappreciated, undervalued and frankly, underpaid, thus their unwavering desire to move to Europe...*China walks in* sorry I meant Asia, *Clears throat*.

Chinese money is here, it sounds weird even saying it. We know Arab Money, We know Oil money, in my country we also have blood money but this Chinese money is insane. While Arabs are busy investing on European teams like PSG and Man City, China are basically bringing Europe to China. Call them crazy and say what you want about them but European clubs are scared. Liverpool spent most part of the Transfer window trying to Sign Alex Teixera from Shaktar Donetsk but the two clubs couldn't agree financial terms then out of the blues, a mysterious Chinese team(all their teams are mysterious) walked in, offered £40m and a fat stack to Alex, boom!!! Its over. Its oppression to be honest. Clubs all around Europe are going through their books now, checking if any of their south American players visited China recently, because he could as well be on his way to one mystery club before you know it.

          

Europeans will say that the quality of football in their continent remains superior to those outside it and that there be the real truth but another truth is that Money and investment is the key factor in this said quality. China have realised this and acted swiftly.

The Chinese are very cunning in their approach, their targets are all playing quality football for top clubs in top leagues and coincidentally are all South Americans. Yup, South Americans are all hustlers. Let's not act like we don't know this. They don't it for the money and China is the highest bidder. So dear Europe, don't be sad, just pick yourself up and invest more money on your leagues, because cash is a universal language that everyone understand and you wouldn't want Chinese clubs to start speaking it with European kids as well. Only time will tell.
