Brazilian players find home in China's Super League

Agencies | Updated: 2015-03-02 05:09

"What the Chinese have now that differentiates them from any other country is the salary," Carlezzo said. "Maybe you can have something near to that in Qatar or other emirates, but it's been the big difference in the head of the players when they see the amount offered to them."

Goulart will join Elkeson at Evergrande, which in 2013 became the second Chinese team to win Asia's top club competition. Elkeson, who's amassed more than 2 million followers on China's biggest social network Sina Weibo, features on the team's website to promote products and tickets.

The team, which is 50 percent owned by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, led the league with an average attendance of 42,154 last year. The club declined to comment on its hiring policy, and Shanghai SIPG did not return calls and e-mails for comment.

Brazilian soccer players' skills coupled with their level of training make them attractive to Chinese teams, said Yan Qiang, a soccer commentator who was deputy editor-in-chief of Titan Sports, the highest-circulation sports newspaper in China.

"It will cost a lot, which will be a high economic burden that clubs' normal operations cannot afford," he said. "So these clubs have to invest more outside capital. Moreover, introducing foreign players will bring limitations to the development of local players."

Brazil national team striker Diego Tardelli, 29, who failed to impress while playing in Europe with Real Betis, PSV Eindhoven and Anzhi Makhachkala, will earn as much as $370,000 a month at Shandong Luneng Taishan, local news agency Estado said. The average salary of players in Brazil's top league Serie A is about $18,000 a week, according to the Daily Mail.

"In the last two years, Brazilian football has gone through many financial difficulties and I couldn't let this opportunity slip away," Tardelli told Estado. "I wanted to ensure my nest egg because a footballer's career is short and I may not have another opportunity like this." Shandong Luneng declined to comment.

China's soccer boom is the latest effort to make the world's most populous country a force in the sport. The national team failed to qualify for a World Cup since its first appearance in 2002. Corruption scandals led to the arrest of 33 top referees, national team players and senior soccer officials in 2013.

While China finished at the bottom of its group in its only World Cup appearance, Brazil is a record five-time champion. And although the squad lost 7-1 at home in last year's World Cup semifinal, the appetite for Brazilian players in emerging nations such as China remains undiminished.

Teams in China are offering big salaries to players who did not feature in the World Cup squad, such as Tardelli, who is on the roster now, and Goulart, who has made one appearance. Elkeson has never worn Brazil's yellow shirt competitively.

China's interest comes as other markets for the hundreds of players Brazil exports annually dry up, especially after a year of fighting along the border of Ukraine and Russia.

"In 2013 Brazilian clubs sold about $340 million worth of players overseas and Ukrainian clubs amounted to about a third of this," Carlezzo said by phone. Half of the spending in Ukraine is attributed to Shakhtar Donetsk, a club owned by mining billionaire Rinat Akhmetov.

The club can no longer play at home because of fighting and its stadium has been damaged by shelling. Russian teams reduced spending from $214 million in 2013 to $102 million last year.

Rules forcing European clubs to balance their finances is also restricting new signings.

Some Brazilian players have returned home and complained about the air quality or food in China but the riches on offer mean they always go back.

"It's a new frontier to be crossed," Carlezzo said. "We've seen players for decades going to Japan or South Korea. China brings additional challenges for the players."
