Carlox Tevez – Is Too Much Money A Problem?
I came across a very funny and satirical piece of news related to the recent controversy surrounding star footballer Carlos Tevez and his refusal to take the field as a substitute in the second half of the game between Manchester City and Bayern Munich. The writer of the news article stated that the star footballer was right in refusing to take the field. It was not his job to play football after being purchased for such a huge sum. Instead, it was his job to make sure that the club and its management was always in the news at all times.
In such a scenario, it is indeed pertinent to question the role of big money in football. They have been numerous instances where clubs have paid a king’s ransom for a footballer only to find that he is just not worth the money.
Footballers also have to ride two horses at once. They have to give their best for their club and also have to pay for their country. David Beckham missed the recent World Cup because he suffered an injury when playing for his club. As far as the club management is concerned, there were focused on the consequence of the injury and its impact on their plans. Of course, the entire country was devastated when they discovered that they’ve star footballer would no longer have the last opportunity to make amends in the World Cup.
It is unfair to take sides in this debate. Both sides have their pros and cons. As far as the clubs are concerned, they are the ones who bring in huge amounts of money filled in metal boxes to make a football a big money sport. Players playing for their country are never paid millions of dollars just for making an appearance. It is the club that converts the footballer into a superstar. On the other hand, the passion and pride for playing for one’s country cannot be replaced by money, can it?
The issue is whether Carlos Tevez would have behaved in such a manner if he had been representing his national team? Certainly not. The public outrage would have been too scary thing for the footballer to attempt such a move.
