Thank you for sharing this! i can totally understand how you must have desired to be a top footballer with all your heart.. and yet.. (praise the lord! in my opinion.. you were spared that path..
i hope u dont take offence to me saying that. .. its just that.. well, i was from the UK where Football was part of life for most people.. and the money, power, and corruption has finally overriden the whole point of the sport! A fair game of football between two teams!
I wonder how you might feel if your billionaire boss gathers your team and says, guys, ive going to give you all $50Mill top lose this game. .. and thats just how it goes, because he tells you that long term it will work out and he will guarantee you make absolute ludicrous money for ever more. or he privately comes to you and offers you $200 million to let a ball go though!!
and even more simply, do you really want to be in a position to have that much money>?> There are very few people who lead happy fun lives who have big money.. from what ive seen..

It depends on the situation at hand and the people involve. We know how football changes lives likewise the money involve in it. People from struggling countries and poor families are there for the money when such opportunities comes which will keep the passion for the sport at a side but then that doesn't stop the players from playing as corruption also is involve in the sport as well.
For me I wouldn't want that offer if i find myself in that situation playing in that top level because by then I feel whatever am getting as my salary is ok for me which am contented with it and if the team or the owner don't want me anymore I can sign for any other team.
To some people they might see me as been stupid to decline such offer but then it is part of me to do what is right to make me happy and the opposite of me doing such will really affect me as it is not part of my lifestyle.
