@@FootyKief1408 taking too much talent from the big leagues", that is what the 'big leagues' have done to decimate the strength in what used to be good league eg Dutch, Belgium etc where their clubs in the would always challenge for trophies.
Football is for everyone not only Europeans! The Saudis have all rights to make deals with those superstars just like any other country! Their vision and mission is to bring "professionalism" to their country instead of sending their people to the big leagues in Europe. I really like this idea where they invest in thier nation. Ronaldo, Benzema, Kante, and more are coming soon. This is good for the football in Asia, and hope we see the same in Africa also.
Football should be sustainable otherwise it will go bust. You should love the game no matter what the country. If countries use football like an arms war, then surely you'll understand that's bad for the game. That just encourages boom and bust economies and world ruin.
I don't understand what bin laden has to do with football? why bring it up and also why say the most famous saudi? maybe to you. Why put this negative image in our mind when we re talking about football and peace and trying to connect. Saudi arabia is trying to invest its money and develop their country and they re finding themselves in a catch 22, damn if you do damn if you dont situation, same way it was for Qatar. You really have to travel and meet these people because the first thing it comes to mind when you think of these countries are issues which sadly exist but there is much more than that, when you say america i dont imagine a bunch of homless poeple shitting on sidewalks in san francisco but thats just me my mind doesnt go directly to negativity.

When we became the owners of Manchester City, we were good, and the reason was that the money went to England, but when we want to expand the sport in our country, we are sabotaging the sport of football. What is this contradiction?
England allows any owner of any nationality to invest in English clubs to make profit for that owner. However there is a limit to what can be invested, it's based on income/tunover, otherwise it's basically cheating. Football in England is incredibly expensive for a ticket but every club still fills their stadium. Spending money on transfers and player salaries that a club can't afford building up massive debt is bad for the game and can destroy a club.
They're doing it the wrong way I know they already have alot, but it would be nice to see lots of youth development in Saudi, instead of trashing on more developed player's careers
It is better for the Saudi pro league It is a competitive league and is way better than MLS and The dutch league and belgian league (maybe not than the dutch but ok) and it is very interesting Ligue 1 is more of a farmere league then Saudi Pro League (I am Pakistani living in Saudi Arabia but here the fans are good) Additions like CR7 🐐 Benzema and N'golo kante are making the league better also nobody in europe wante CR7 and + it's alot of money so more people can go there I sound extremely dumb but it's just a opinion

I heard you at the beginning say that Saudi Arabia is trying to do sports washing, did I hear it? I did not hear you talk about England's participation in the killing of children in the Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya or Syria wars, or the theft of Africa's wealth. You did not talk about 200 years of occupation of India and the theft of its wealth. I think that ocean water will not be able to wash away the dirtiness of your country's actions. Back to football, didn't the Premier League buy players in Europe and South America? Why Saudi not? I am telling you the truth because the football system in Europe is corrupt and the proof is 5 years Manchester City, the league champion You are hypocrites
I think its about greed in these days they go to another league or teams just for more money its absolutely disgusting how much these players wants im glad messi didnt go to saudi league dont think wanted any money he just wants tobe nearer to hes familiy
Do you not know how much money Messi is making in the MLS. It’s all about the money going to MLS is simply better for PR. If he didn’t want money he would go back to Barcelona and take a huge pay cut.
So what if it’s for money? Do you think they care about the media? Them going for the money is for their family, they are literally securing generational wealth
@@LUFC28 neither really make much of a difference distance wise. He is making 9 figures in the mls same as what players are making in Saudi. Money is motivation.
The renewable energy thing is the real issue here if Saudi Arabia doesn’t endorse renewable energy and they don’t and won’t then is this really about oil? And maintaining its hold over the world population
Girls are able to play football. There is a women's league. There is a women's national team. Seriously... all it took was a google search. In Saudi 80% play and/or watch football. We play football in the neighborhood parks, we play football at school, we even play Fifa lol. Football is quintessential to the modern saudi identity, essentially when it comes to kids and teens. All it needs is a bit of investment in infrastructure (which is being made at the moment) and youll see a meteoric rise. The win against Argentina? Believe it or not it was pure talent (part of the reason why they werent consistent too). Most of these guys have played football since childhood, excelled at school and made it to football through talent. Theres no strict training rules here, players eat quite unhealthy, etc etc. So theyre not the best "trained". Imagine that team had a bit more work ethic, and the heights they could reach then. So with a bit of investment and a more "for profit" approach to maximise efficiency and professionalism, these players will be dominating Asia and even making strong shows on the world stage both at the club level and internationally. Will Saudi try to enter the Champions League? Unlikely. Saudi heavily backed the Club World Cup reform, so thats likely how they wish to compete internationally and with European teams. By dominating Asia, they consistently play in the Club World Cup (which will become much bigger by 2025).
I think he means Saudi is ruining the PL.. football is bigger than one league. Also if you didn’t hear about Saudi league before CR7, doesn’t mean “no one” ever heard of it
Unfortunately, most of what you said is not true. Saudi Arabia is not what you imagine it to be. It has changed a lot. There is a women's team, a women's league in football and other sports. I hope you visit Saudi Arabia to see for yourself, and that is the goal of investing in sports
Since I am a Saudi man, I will tell you some facts. The most famous Saudi team is Al-Hilal, and it owns 66 championships and is nicknamed Real Madrid in Asia. Shortly before that, it played the World Cup final with Real Madrid.
How is this any different from what the PL has been doing now for years? Plus saying the Saudi league was barely known before 2022 is such a European thing to say. Respect football worldwide not just on your own continent
Can understand some of the anti Premier League comments. As in general I'd rather support the underdog, the smaller leagues but surely people can appreciate the normal rules are natural organic growth otherwise you risk boom and bust. The attendances in Saudi Arabia don't even average 10K, so the top flight is a small league, some big clubs but most are tiny clubs. Put it this way, if an extremely wealthy Christian country was offering any Muslim $1 million to attend church and be a Christian I'd say that was wrong. I wouldn't say if Muslims are happy to collect their $1 million dollars then other Muslims have no right to complain. Altho I suppose if you live by the sword of capitalism then you can't complain if a bigger sword comes along. Will be interesting to see how the Saudi league progresses, think a major factor in attracting the top players in their prime is entry to the European Champions league but the problem with entry, is Saudi clubs would need to abide by FFP rules, so can't see it happening. Also will be interesting to see if Saudi host the 2034 wold cup. Possible exciting time ahead.
How is that a problem yk that the players make there ownnnn decision and ppl will keep complaining and we will keep winning 🤏🏻 good luck with ur team 💛
As someone from the middle east (Qatar) I can answer some of your questions . The Saudi League is already the best league in Asia in terma of competition and ACL winners. Specially Al Hilal although I don't like them but they are basically the Real Madrid of Asia. Also they already have a women league and national squad it started few years ago.
How come on the world football website it shows that Al-hilal average attendance was 8,984 last season and the average gate in the Saudi top flight rarely breaks 10K, that's worse than the English 3rd tier of football. Why aren't many Arabs watching the football in the stadiums in SA?
@@sheffsteel7 I'm not Alhilal fan nor from SA, but if I have to spiculate I'd say because of hot weather most of the year (Saudi stadiums don't have AC like in Qatar) and the level of football is average compared to Europeans football which most people grow up watching and love, but I've never seen so much hype about Saudi football than this year so I think it will be different.
The saudi league is already the best in Asia, and their National team beat Argentina at the world cup. I don't think developing domestic players is a problem.
Honestly players who are getting old going to Saudi just to make money is disgusting. Ruben Neves: Should have gone to Barcelona Hakim Ziyech: Should have gone to PSG (but after January PSG don't want him) Koulibaly: Should have been given another chance at Chelsea Mendy: Should have stayed at Chelsea Ngolo Kante: Should have signed a contract extension Benzema: Should have signed a contract extension All this is just Sportswashing just to not see the problems that Saudi Arabia actually has. Ceferin has explained it better than I did
All those transfers are not down to the players, it’s the clubs who couldn’t agree to a fee and other problems going on between the clubs not the player, it’s not like they’re going there for money it’s cause they don’t have any other option. Either way even if the did go for the money why are you so upset? They can’t think of their family and secure generational wealth?

Either way even if the did go for the money why are you so upset? They can’t think of their family and secure generational wealth?
Why r u so upset with Saudi for signing players but not China or USA? Maybe that just shows us racist? Or maybe not? You have to explain
@@adaptedpg3d796 I'm not against players signing for USA. Players going to China, Japan or Saudi for me just destroys me. I'm not against the country of Saudi Arabia or China or Japan and I respect them a lot but we're talking football here not racism. I'm not a racist
I’m tired of the lazy money grabbing ageing superstars and don’t care where they go. But top players in their 20’s ? That’s unexpected.
To be honest
Thogan, Your father pointed towards negativity (By Mentioning Osama bin Laden in relation to football). because of jealeosy.
