Chinese Super League

I mean Ezequiel Lavezzi couldnt do jack against Pejman Montazeri. Hey pichid oonvar eenvar oonvar eenvar and he couldn't get by him. I was there in the stadium and actively reminding the Argentinians how they're team is "star-studded" and looked like the street ball kids who only juggle/do tricks but couldn't play soccer.

Has China ever had a successful player in Europe?

dont think so

if there ever was a good chinese player you would bet teams like real madrid would pay a lot just for the jersey sales

Sun Jihai played for Manchester City for 6 years.

Apparently there is a Chinese guy playing for Rayo Vallecano and he was transferred because of marketing reasons. The funny thing is that the coach told in an interview that he didn't want him and found it strange that he was in the team...and we wonder why East Asian players easily get into top leagues while Iranian players don't...

I've been repeating that for years, yet some people still argue that this wasn't the reason why they have more transfers to Europe compared to us. China can send anyone they want to the EPL/Bundesliga etc, but they won't even be better than our mid-table team IPL players

Money and marketing rule football these days. We should be grateful we still have some football players in Europe despite IR's bad reputations.

The Chinese league is now targeting Barwuah. Given what a slave to fame and money he is and how he has flopped at Liverpool he probably will make the move.

come on bro....Koreans and Japanese players are better than ours and they fit in well in those leagues. We dont really have a player that can play in the top 5 at the moment. We had dejagah and he chose k00n goshadi....Gucci had a chance but ran into bad luck. Jahanbakhsh, Azmoun and Ezatollahi are our hope but they still have some ways to go. In order for them to be in the top 5 leagues they need to play as starters and score and assist most of the games. Thats the only way you get a chance at the big leagues.

Majority of our problem is professional attitude and stamina of the top leagues. Koreans and Japanese have world class facilities, they have european teams visiting and playing them all the time, they federations are professional and can deal with foreign federations. European teams have no reason to go after Iranian players when we're still playing in a stadium built 50 yrs ago. If they had interest, we would see more schools opening in Iran but managing shit like that in Iran is a joke and everyone knows it. Then we have stupid sarbazi crap...its just too much and our players arent good enough.
