A new season of sports
In Asian football, the competitiveness of leagues in different countries has always been a hot topic. Recently, after former Tianjin Jinmen Tigers foreign player Rosa joined South Korea's Daejeon Asiana Citizens, his remarks about South Korea's ** once again aroused a discussion about which is stronger, the Chinese Super League or the K League. Rosa's outspokenness not only expresses his personal expectations for the future, but also indirectly reflects the current situation and challenges of Asian football.
In an interview with South Korea**, Rosa said he thinks South Korea and Japan are leading the league in Asia. Even if he had the opportunity to join Seoul FC, he chose Daejeon because he felt the club's strong desire for him. Rosa's words not only show his recognition of the new club, but also imply his views on the comparison between the strength of the Chinese Super League and the K League. In particular, he mentioned that through the communication with players who have performed well in the K-League, he has strengthened his awareness of the high level of the K-League.
Rosa played for the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers in the Chinese Super League for 2 years, and he was selected as a candidate for the MVP of the Chinese Super League last season, which is enough to prove his ability and value, but in the end he failed to renew his contract, and the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers are the team he has played for the longest time in his career. Rosa's remarks undoubtedly sparked some controversy, saying that many players suggested that he play in the Korean league, believing that the Japanese and Korean leagues are at the top level in Asia and surpass China, and his wife likes South Korea very much. In this regard, many Chinese fans also said that this is also normal, and the level of the Korean league is already above China.
In addition, the personal factor mentioned by Rosa – his wife's love for Korea – also added a touch of family personality to his decision. However, behind this personal preference is also a comparison of the living environment and cultural attractiveness of the two countries. This is not only a career choice for a football player, but also a reflection of cross-country cultural exchange and quality of life considerations.
Rosa's arrival and subsequent remarks are both a new start in his career and a new perspective on the comparison between the Chinese Super League and the K-League. While his views may be controversial, it is undeniable that such discussions can help advance and develop Asian football. If Chinese football wants to achieve better results on the international stage, it needs to face up to these voices, strengthen its own construction, and improve the competitiveness of the league, so as to attract more talented players like Rosa.
