Nine players move to Spain as part of Saudi-LaLiga partnership

The only idiot here is you. NO ONE CARES.

No one cares.

Yeah my point exactly. You don't care when you see how fucked up your life is compared to your neighbor.

We have no money, no t-shirt sponsor and our best player hasn't played professionally for 1.5 years.

If you don't care, you don't care about Iranian soccer.

I sure do love the ignore feature on this forum.

How do you say 8 in Spanish?

How do you say 8 in Spanish?

Are you after translation of their nickname in Espanol? Well here is one Ocho-Cero El Camellos. Every Spaniard will be chanting this during match days

Man.. If only IFF paid La Liga millions and sent Jahanbakhsh, Azmoun and Ansarifard to Spain it would’ve made their job a lot easier. They wouldn’t have to struggle and work hard to earn their positions in life. They would just go straight to the top. But Saudi Arabian footballers are something else man, something real special

Ocho a cero.

There is a big difference between jahanbakhsh, azmoun, rezaie, ansarifard, masoud, haisafi with the saudi players. Our players have experience playing in weaker European leagues like Greek, Belgian, Dutch and Russian. Their players will train with Spanish teams and will not play a game and their contract is only 6 months . They can train with any team they want, but if they to play a single games they will not develop.
not playing match is equal to = 0 experience

افشاگری روزنامه عربستانی درباره لژیونر شدن ۹ بازیکن سعودی
فوتبال عربستان سعودی
روزنامه سرشناس عربستانی درباره انتقال*های یک شبه بازیکنان این کشور به فوتبال اسپانیا دست به افشاگری زد.
به* گزارش *ایسنا *و *به نقل از الریاض، ورزش عربستان و به ویژه* فوتبال در هفته*های اخیر تغییرات زیادی به خود دیده است. بعد از حضور در جام جهانی و اجازه دادن به حضور زنان در ورزشگاه این بار نوبت لژیونر شدن بازیکنان سعودی در لالیگا رسید و یک شبه ۹ بازیکن عربستانی به عضویت در تیم های اسپانیایی در آمدند که این خبری شوک*آور برای رسانه*های محلی و جهانی بود.
روزنامه الریاض عربستان در گزارشی در این*باره تاکید کرد که این ۹ بازیکن به تیم های اسپانیایی پیشنهاد شده*اند و این*گونه نبوده که آنها مورد توجه این باشگاه ها واقع شوند،* بلکه این بازیکنان در سال جام جهانی تنها برای آشنا شدن با فوتبال مدرن اروپا راهی لیگ اسپانیا شده*اند.
روزنامه الریاض عربستان نوشت: باشگاه*های اروپایی استعدادهای جوان را از فوتبال آسیا شکار می*کنند. چطور ممکن است که آنها سراغ بازیکنی ۲۶ ساله باشند؟ بازیکنان عربستانی اگر می*خواهند در لیگ*های معتبر اروپایی بازی کنند باید ابتدا در لیگ*های سطح پایین تری مثل لیگ بلژیک و یا سوئیس به میدان بروند بعد از آن راهی لیگ*های بزرگ اروپا شوند.
در ادامه* این گزارش آمده است: چرا با این بازیکنان تنها قرارداد شش ماه و تا پایان فصل امضا شده است؟ بسیار بعید است که به این بازیکن فرصت بازی داده شود. آنها رفته*اند تا تنها با محیط جدیدی آشنا شوند و نباید صفت لژیونر را برای آنها به کار برد.
به* گزارش *ایسنا، انتقال این بازیکنان به فوتبال اسپانیا بعد از توافق فدراسیون فوتبال عربستان با اسپانیا صورت گرفته و این بازیکنان برای حضور در تیم های اسپانیایی نه تنها مبالغی نمی*گیرند ،* بلکه پول هم پرداخت کنند

This is like Qataris getting excited over Akram Afif who got loaned to La Liga and he played maybe 6 or 7 games laat season never a full 90

[kastro]

So in essence they've forced (paid) these Spanish clubs to take their players on loan. I doubt those clubs even want the players. They'll all end up back in Saudi Arabia most likely without having played much.

[Ata]

at least they are not cheating, they help their players to gain experience

its better than ghatar that buy players from other countries

[Leopard]

First I thought maybe this news should be in another forum, then I thought it was good for jokestan.com
Now I think the Spaniards will probably make 90 million dollars for giving each player a total of 90 minutes of play time in the whole season. Aside from this the saudis are basically sending sports spies to learn many things.
The players will learn about the workout, warm up practices, coaches strategies, communication with players, food, how to play in the cold or under rain. Many things that are taken for granted can be learned. Saudis are overspending and over-stretching themselves. They may learn all these but they cannot get gheirat and shojaaat keh dar khoon nadaarand otherwise they would not put up with a king that runs their lives and is controlled by the foreign bosses.

Small update - 8 of 9 players transferred have not played.
One who got transferred to a division 2 team played in one friendly.

One coach didn't even know who the player he got is!

There is apparently a lot of anger by Saudi fans about this.

[perspolis#1]

Saudi team to play Iraq in a week. None of the 'legionnaires have been called up.

So they basically are getting no experience.

The Saudi team is an all B team which will probably make up reserves of the 23 man list with maybe 3 or 4 starter level players in there.
