Qatar is a small and super rich country. Their league is developing but it is not even close to many high standard Asian leagues. All Korean, Japanese, Australian or Iranian footballers who joined Qatar Star League (QSL) lost their fitness and got lazy. Koreans saw this in their national team before the rest. Iran has experienced this very recently. The money is very good but training are very loose, so playing one or two seasons in Qatar can ruin the career of good players. Korean players realize this and now are leaving QSL. Iranian players are still there for the money. That is why Iranian fans hate QSL patiently and whoever join another Qatari club is seen as a traitor to our national team. This is purely based on the experience and losing fitness. Most of our best NT players who went there have been performing really bad in recent friendly matches. So the move to QSL is seen only for financial reason not career development.
Joining QSL is turning as equivalent of laziness and materialistic life in contrast to hardworking, career development, and love of national team which has been the motto of Iranian football for many years.
Joining European clubs which have high standards of training and fierce competition for every single position and at the same time the income is medium is praised among Iranian football fans. But Arab leagues pay even more money for a performance that even Iranian clubs do not accept, as a result some are sucker for the easy money ...
