Okay, I love soccer and Real Madrid. But all of "Real Madrid vs. Manchester City" is just another soap opera. Both teams have rich skill, but its bought. Unfortunately, the game works that way. Haaland and Vinicius Jr. are great players. But at the end of the day, they're just kicking a ball around for a paycheck. A business, not a passion. Yes, you may watch and support your team. Keep the big picture in mind. There's more to the world than millionaires chasing trophies.
I don't understand what you mean when you say they are only after salary and other things you said. When they look at the salary they get, I think it's a normal thing because they also "work" here, but the difference is that they work from a hobby here. Are there any players who volunteer to play on a team for free? that doesn't make any sense at all.
I think they are still passionate, just look at when they lose or win, there is an expression that is reflected in them, both disappointment when they lose and joy when they win. It cannot be denied that football is also a business and indeed they have to make a living from this business. One thing that I think doesn't need to be a problem, as long as they put business and achievement together. After all, they also play in a team that has a big name, so they feel a special sense of pride because they have succeeded in being in a big team and can compete like that.
