It is not just in football alone but also in other sport and other professions, it is like this because the world has really changed. Before now people can barely live without having much interest for money, all they care about is having so much zeal in whatever profession they found doing but it is not like this any more. The world right now is so expensive that people consider profession that has so much whereby money can be generated and they now have to force passion in a profession because of what it can offer to them.  Life now is different from how it used to be some years ago that is why things looks different now.

One social media optimization that only a few got to use early enough which has now been of so much benefit to them now that the endless benefit is one which we cannot overly emphasise but we don't hope to have more pandemic but so far it's clear that away from the pandemic,  the convenience that comes with it is an advantage that can be explored without necessarily having a situation of a pandemic.

With the generation today, the more popular you are in social media, the better chance for you to earn good money. When pandemic happened, the popularity of exhibition fights really did cater to the public who were deprive of the regular games. And these people who got involved into this kind of fight, came to know that they can really earn good money out of it. And look up until now, they are still trying to milk this kind of fight. Because people are still buying this type of event.

Actually it's at beginning of the new player that they play football with a passion, and I understand that football players has three stages.

•stage1  At start, they play football with passions
•stage2 They play football with pride and also to be influenced and being attractive to other clubs
•stage3 They play football with to make money...this stage3 they consider it as a final stage, and that makes them to be money conscious because they more funds to retire with.

I disagree with you...you can see that both involvement in football has drop reduced compared before, so after they retired other incoming players maybe better than them.

Could be two factors, you want to get entertained or you want to earn extra money in playing gambling at the first place there's a risk but if you really love doing sports betting and you know to your self that you are well in good here why not take this as an opportunity to get an extra money while watching your favorite game.


If you are a well-known player and even you know to your self that you has a skill and of course your rates getting higher too so players would like to grab the opportunity to earn more money and getting more known by others and get a title, it seems just a simple question like you have the skills are you willing to get just a low key person and underpaid?.

When I first read your post, I could only be silent because I think there is some truth to it. Especially in your words, it's all about money.
So what do we want now if the condition of the football sport that we follow and watch every season is like that? Rich clubs can buy any player.

Many big stars came out of football for reaching a ripe age. It's normal, it's the natural course of things. 

But I can't understand why the two of these chose to go to sub par teams just for marketing and money purposes. They could have retired and live a happy life gracefully already as multi millionaires. The era's end was kind of spoiled by that for me.

And it feels too much of a sellout now. I think this will also make it harder for future generations to appreciate what we had because it's all marketing, no heart now.

I thought it was just a mere opinion or rumor people share nothing else not until op mentioned Saudi Arabia, at some point players run after the money, it’s really affecting most players for example playing for a team with low competition and potential will actually reduce a player not minding the kind of money they earn. In all this we still have the real ones so I will not accept the fact, although I will not mistaking this words “knowing your worth and playing for the money not just the passion” it’s different when big teams sign big names because they know the worth and how valuable a good player can be.

Even in the time of Ronaldo and Messi same shit. A lot of surprise results, this has not ended nor started now, it has started the moment soccer teams were being quoted in bookmakers with different odds for a win, draw or lose. It is exactly there that surprise results started and not so good football overall. I will make the same example I have made previously when answering other people in the same matter, back in time of Maradona in Italy and a few years later do you think were these much surprise results as we see now in Serie A, absolutely not, games were coming as expected because no money and betting was involved, as soon as betting started, surprise results almost every week started happening, only blind people do not see this.

Do you think the players just like to play in those top European leagues clubs? The players are chasing good career so that they can play in those good clubs. If they are not chasing career, they could just stay in the country league if it is about passion. There is nothing like passion when it comes to money, but the players can enjoy playing in the clubs they are.

Actually this happens in almost every sport, whether it’s football, basketball, or boxing. That’s just how things are now.

They’ll never outright say it’s all about the money, but as we've both seen, their choices usually come down to whoever offers the biggest paycheck. Take boxing, for example - if a promoter has a lot riding on a fighter, they’ll make sure he avoids matchups where the odds aren’t in his favor.. Even if the fighter believes he can win the promoter knows better because they’re protecting their investment. They’ll carefully pick his opponents to ensure he keeps winning and his value keeps rising.

That’s why so many fans these days are frustrated. They want to see the best fights, but they don’t get them because the matchups don’t fit the promoters’ agenda.
