The ‘enfant terrible’ of French football spoke to Le Parisien about the evolution of money in football, his move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/China-c8926 and French society in general
Relations between Nicolas Anelka and press seem just the stuff Hollywood movies are made of. And, the player that all of France loves to hate, conducted an interview with Le Parisien in order to test his touch of provocation that he is good at. The former
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shanghai-Shenhua-c40497 and says that the move to Asia was a logical choice for him as he was always passionate about learning a thing or two about Chinese culture.
“It was a logical choice. I always wanted to discover this continent. I am passionate about this culture. I am an adventurer who paved the way, as usual.”
With a weekly salary of 230,000 euros, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international claims that he worked really hard to earn all the money he has got and asked people who criticise him for going for money to take care of their own wages and he will take care of his.
And, if one takes a look at the plethora of moves Nicolas Anelka has made over the course of his trophy-laden yet controversial career, money has always been a major player which is the reason why he has this image of a greedy footballer back home.
However, the Frenchman claims that he has worked really hard to work a lot to be in a position where he can bargain for finances and asked people to take care of their wages rather than looking at the money he earns.
“Take care of your wage, I’ll take care of mine. I made sacrifices when I was young. I left my parents and home at the age of 13 and I’ve been playing with pros since I was 15. When I started football, there were no such amounts. I just arrived at the right
time.”
Over the course of his trophy-laden career, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nicolas-Anelka-c27786 has made a lot of enemies. However, the 33-year-old is least bothered by these things and feels that someone who has no enemies has no value at all.
“A man without enemies is a man without value. As time loves hypocrites, I do not expect to have only friends. To all those who speak without knowing anything about me, know that if you do not like me, it’s mutual.”
While talking about the upcoming Hollande tax in France, Nicolas Anelka says that he feels sad for players who will play in Ligue 1 when this tax law is passed as it would see many stars leave the country. The Frenchman also criticised the new government
for tailoring the tax law which in his opinion, would do a lot of harm to French football which has always struggled to attract star players.
