well, i'll have to explain better why soccer in africa is so different from other places and why corruption is the culprit, in my country which is also an african country some years there were 20 teams in the main league, there was a B league in that the 3 winners went up to the first league, this is something that has in europe and america and in other countries of africa. but the problem is that all teams in my country have government companies as sponsors, they are public companies managed by the party that is governing my country, so the leaders of the teams are people from the party that is also governing my country country

with this system in place, there is no room for the teams to have someone intelligent and not corrupt to direct the team, the league itself is manipulated in such a way that it makes them decide which team will be champion to please the electorate of a given region of my country and also the salaries of the players become low and they become hostages of the politicians, they cannot make serious claims because they will not play in any other team

so you can ask me: why when they play they just keep kicking the ball up and the ball is hardly rolling down like in European games and in other continents?
the explanation is very simple:

1 - they are the same limited coaches who have been teaching players from the lowest to the highest levels, even with various formations of these coaches by fifa they do not change and the system keeps them in the positions of coaches, they just leave a team and they go to another one, but the system does not want new coaches and when the foreign coach appears, he is sabotaged until he leaves

2 - the stadiums in africa where these players start playing from the lowest level are stadiums where the wall height is low allowing the wind to enter the field and change the trajectory of the ball but unfortunately the players get used to that style of playing and pick up the ball and kick it across the field and they don't realize that it's a disaster and with that, people won't watch the games because these games don't have quality. but everything is the fault of the corruption that starts from the top of the government to the lowest leader
