Former Real Madrid chief Jorge Valdano has discussed the Saudi Pro League and defended Gabri Veiga's decision to move to the Middle East.
"Europe should remember that it was the Saudi Arabia of the last 20 years, emptying the most important continents of all talent. Well, they have to know that they have a competitor who has two legitimate rights: one, the money to buy, and two, the love of football," the former Real Madrid general manager told. "Because Saudi Arabia is not Qatar, it is a country that loves football even if it does not have the tradition or the background.
It is a new blow in the commercialization of football because it is easy to understand that Cristiano and Benzema say I'll open my bag and fill it, but Gabri Veiga, a great Celta promise who is coming out of his shell, has also left. That's practically giving up glory for money. Kroos has said that it is a shame, and from the footballer's vocation the term is well used, but you have to be in the boy's place when something of that magnitude happens.
