China not to: it is also invading the Spanish football

Not only is the Brazilian football is feeling the high investment of China in football. One of the most important world championships, the Spanish see the Asian reach with force. Rather than bring many players, however, they want it to be present in the European country. Buying clubs, sponsorships, stadium renovation and even the imposition of Chinese players are part of the strategy.

The most daring project may be the billionaire Chen Yansheng, owner of Rastar group. The company bought 56% stake Espanyol and became majority owner of the Catalan club. The goal is to transform the Espanyol in the "Manchester City of Barcelona". That is, fight for the league title and reach the Champions League in three seasons.

The RAstar group will pay off all the debts of the club and invest in reinforcements to be able to fight for titles. "It's over suffering. With this investment, we will be among the best. We could not lose this opportunity," he summed up the former president of the team, Dani Sánchez.

The Atletico Madrid also sold to Chinese actions: 20% for Wanda, real estate and entertainment giant. In addition, print on their sleeves Huawei brand electronics. The OPPO, mobile branch of China also reached an agreement with Barcelona for advertising at the Camp Nou stadium.

Rayo Vallecano already and Real Sociedad adorn on their shirts to mark the Qbao, computer giant. With one detail: the characters used on the uniforms are in Mandarin. The agreements with these teams still yielded a friendly in Asia and other equity.

The Rayo, for example, had to incorporate its cast a Chinese player, even without the coach approval. The Real Sociedad, in turn, will be sponsor of help in the future reform of its stadium.

Some players in the country were also hired to play in China, but it seems that the formula in Spain is different: to show this to save space both in the Asian market, as the European market.
