Honestly Sir, how does it matter to Indians whether or not a foreigner plays Club Football in Europe? Why should Indian media be so bothered about Private Club Football of Europe? There are lakhs of clubs in the world, but the Indian media does not seem bothered about the results and players of all the clubs. Why, even the results of Indian Club Football is not published, though the Indian newspapers are making money by selling their paper in India. But ofcourse, the Indian media is Indian for names sake. Most of the newspapers have sold stakes to foreigners who are busy peddling irrelevant stuff to Indians. In this case Club Football of Europe. Same about F1.
