China right now is cracking down on Islam, to the point of detention centres and 'reeducation'. The Hui ethinicity is strangely absolved from this treatment despite typically being muslim as well. China has had very opressive relationship with theistic religions since the great leap forward, yet the Hui people unlike most others have been largely allowed to retain their religion and culture. But saying that all, it could just be lies published by the Chinese goverment! I think it because they are related to the Han ethnic group and aren't Mongols or Turks, but I could be wrong. Although that didn't stop them from piling the bodies high in the 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting aside the fact that exposure is only one aspect of a person's decision process, the above from blueprince is probably a statement that could be true depending on the sphere in which the intent is be as exposed as possible... In Belgium there is probably a league which is more visible, so from that perspective moving from England to Spain may or may not be an increase in exposure. From an English residents perspective hazard would be less visible and therefore less exposed to them. For an English player who seeks exposure and is most intent on seeking the exposure they care most about its probably true that a move from England to Spain will get them less exposure within the sphere they most crave it - their own backyard. In Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina it's unquestionable that an England to Spain move gets more exposure. A bigger reason to move is the aspiration of the clubs in question. Chelsea don't appear to be that intent on winning titles these days, at least not to the extent of being willing to invest heavily to achieve it. Madrid are a known entity in this regard and hence a pretty easy choice for someone who's desire is to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me your statistics that La Liga has a "very small audience outside Spain" La Liga has the monopoly on the whole of Latin America as a foreign league, a massive percentage in North America due to all the Latin Americans living there. In North Africa it's the most watched league and has been the fastest growing in Asia. The LFP have currently a contract with 170 countries and I can actually provide you with the financial statistics too. But you know what... In my world nobody says anything anywhere near me without backing it up!

This is not correct at all mate. I'd suggest the Premier league is more renowned in Asia but la liga is by a mile the more renowned league in central and South America. Also don't forget Real Madrid are a reliable contender for the Champions league every year where Chelsea cannot ever be sure of qualifying.

I don't know about you, but If I was a footballer I'd far rather win big trophies and big personal awards than have a bunch of fanboys from Timbuktu and Malaysia. Moving to Real Madrid massively improves his chances of winning the Champions League and getting his hands on the Ballon d'or. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving to Real Madrid increases his odds of that... as well as getting a bunch of fanboys from Timbuktu and Malaysia. Those cringey sad bastards who can't appreciate the fact we're lucky to live in an era of both Messi and C. Ronaldo, we saw the rise of them while they were at those 2 Spanish giants. While the prem is bigger world wide than La Liga, there's no doubt at all in the world that Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two biggest clubs for gloryhunters and sad fanboys around the world. All the big clubs have them, but I could probably fly into any big city in the world and find some twat in a Barca jersey in less than a day. And it's not like Hazard hasn't been particularly vocal about wanting to go to Real Madrid in the last few seasons. He wants out and his club can no longer keep up with him, yet he kept his head down and gave them a fantastic season despite the fact the club isn't at his level. I don't blame him for wanting to move on (although right now... Madrid aren't at his level either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
