So you guys achieved ‘La Décima’. Cool. Now stop being the rich kid who goes about buying it all and spoiling the fun of the game.
Avid football fans will know that every football club in the world is primarily known by the legends who’ve played for them. I know so many people who would have raised irresolute eyebrows on hearing the word Barcelona, if Messi had never played for them. Its natural. Its the reason why so many one-club-player legends like Xavi, Gerrard, Giggs, Schweinsteiger and many others are deeply respected by their fans.
But then comes Real Madrid with all their monetary prowess, and spoils it all. Yes I know that its a dream for every professional footballer to play for a club of that stature and history. The best of the best have always played at Real Madrid. Yet, sometimes I feel that it just spoils the fun.
Any footballing contest would be so much fun if there was a good balance of players in all the teams. Of course that is not possible, but is one of the reasons why EPL 2013-14 season was immensely enjoyed by all. Because it was a season of surprises. Everybody loves it when an underdog team defeats the team that was supposed to cruise by with 3 points on paper.
Coming back to La Liga and Champions League, it seems almost unfair that any team be allowed to exercise so much financial muscle to get the best players from all around the world into a domestic league where there are only two giants (Barcelona and Madrid, (and Atletico, though not a giant)).
The latest news is that Manchester United wants Gareth Bale and is willing to pay 100million. Now look at Real Madrid. They want David De Gea along with that bag of cash, while they’ve almost ready to bring Marco Reus from Dortmund.
Yes it seems wolfish, but maybe its just clever business.
