Criticizing Neymar for that is part of the hypocrisy.”began Lugano. “Any one of us, for twice the salary, would change jobs, change cities, change television channels. The main thing is that the world of football is having an absurd movement today”.
The former defender added: “Arabia’s move surpasses what China has done in the past. It’s crazy, from a sovereign wealth fund in a country that has plenty of money. It is much better to pay a football player than to finance wars or weapons. And even more phenomena like christian, Messi, now Neymar. There’s no way to reject it. We have never experienced this, no one has experienced this”.
In addition, Lugano revealed what he would do differently in Neymar’s place. “What do I want this for? I would say: ‘come here, Arabia, subsidize oil for my country, a contract for five years’. There is nothing more that can change the matrix of a country than that. If you trade oil at cost price, make everyone happy, lower the cost of living, industries will settle in and it becomes a Norway of America. It would give me more joy than being world champion”.
