There is no living

SME-Written by: Ali Al-Basha
• On the Kuwaiti program (Sadooh), the artist Muhammad Al-Sayrafi asked his colleague, the late legend Abdul Hussein Abdul Reda, whether art can make a living. Many artists say that, and Bou Adnan replied, “Why are you brought into it?” Art is like any other profession, and here we ask them the question: Does football professionalism “make a living”? Of course, professionalism in its true sense, which is applied in mathematically developed countries, and not as we have (semi-professionalism)!
• If he had not been appointed to live, the clubs in developed countries would not have been in a stable sporting situation as a result of financial stability. The clubs’ financial balances exceed the balances of international countries, and their shares are traded on financial stock exchanges globally, and they have laws that protect clubs and players, and penalties that affect the defaulters. And suspension, and laws were enacted that protect players from the tyranny of clubs. And it is constantly renewed for the better.
• Therefore, it is important for players to first study culture
Professionalism; Especially those coming from developing countries, and therefore many African and Asian players who chose to go professional in Europe would not have succeeded if they had not acquired the culture of professionalism. There are many examples, most notably the Egyptian football player Mohamed Salah. God destined for him not to register in Zamalek’s youth team and for his father to take him to Europe.!
• This culture must be embodied among players in developing countries (for example, the Gulf), which work to touch and enter into professionalism. The late Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum, the former Minister of Finance of the Emirates, said that it is difficult to implement it locally unless the clubs transform into companies and trade their shares on the stock exchange (end). This requires enacting laws that make the (transformed) clubs feel reassured, and the players in a way that secures their future.
• I believe that the idea of professionalism currently practiced in Saudi clubs; Through it, officials are trying to shorten distances. Sending players to Spanish clubs has not achieved its goal. Therefore, a better idea was born
Players (Cristiano, Benzema, Neymar) and others for the Saudi Professional League (Roshen) could bring better feasibility to the clubs supported by the state and the major companies operating in them and imposed by them!
• Therefore, the policy (to bring them) represents advanced Saudi (and Qatari as well) thinking, which can shorten distances and cultivate a culture of advanced local professionalism. With clubs and players, it was not (in vain) hosting the World Cup in the Gulf, as well as major tournaments and (Super) matches, as all of this cultivates and develops a culture of professionalism locally; As long as the Gulf player feels unable to adapt to living in Europe.
