In the 2016 European Championship final, Portugal won the championship for the first time in history, and the way Ronaldo cried twice is memorable. In addition to the tears of winning the championship, his unwillingness to leave the game early is also a classic picture of that European Cup final. The initiator of Ronaldo's first tears was the Frenchman Paye.
In that year's French national team, Paye can be described as one of the thigh players, and his "credit" for letting Ronaldo play was once to make the Gaulish rooster think that the championship had been in place in advance. Although Portugal eventually won the championship, Paye was still a direct member of the players who caused the players to go down, which can be called a bitter master of Ronaldo's career.
This season, Paye has played for Marseille in the French league, and he currently contributes 11 statistics, 11 goals and 11 assists, and the older he gets, the better he seems to be. However, Paye said that his salary this season is half that of last season, and even less next season, which will become a 30% discount this season, but will still choose to stay at the club.
In an interview, Paye spoke of a controversial remark, saying that going to football leagues in China and West Asia would make money, but it would bring unhappiness to his family, so he did not do so, revealing a sense of disdain in his words. Obviously, the Chinese league that Paye refers to is the Chinese Super League in the previous Golden Yuan era.
"At the end of each season, there are voices discussing my movements, such as letting me go to leagues in China, Saudi Arabia or Qatar. But in doing so, I am likely to be separated from my family, so that both sides are unhappy, and what is the point." Paye is adamant about not going to Asia to pan for gold.
Paye's remarks have caused many fans in China to complain. First of all, the Golden Dollar era of the Chinese Super League has passed, if you come to play in the Chinese Super League now, not only will you not make money, but you may also be owed wages. Of course, there are also fans who think that Paye is saying words against his heart, there is basically no news that he has contacted the Chinese Super League club in the past, and the players think that the Chinese Super League will come, and this is just wishful thinking.
Whether the French star's statement is true or whether he can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, this is only clear to him. However, in Paye's resume, he is indeed a rather homesick player. Thinking that when he was playing for West Ham, Paye tore his face with the club and had to return to France. Even the distance between France and England is unbearable, let alone the distant Asian League.
Empathetically, if you were Paye, joining the Asian league was likely to be paid more than your entire career in a few short years, but at the cost of a brief separation from your family, would you be willing?
