The magnetism of the riches of China for the stars of football

The Shanghai Hongkou Stadium draws less than 10,000 fans for a proper party.

The China football teams were to spend before recently money. Lot of money.

Nicolas Anelka, France Exdelantero, was discontinued in January for Shanghai Shenhua and will earn around $ 313.000 per week.

And now there is speculation that this could be Didier Drogba, the figure of Chelsea in the Champions League final, steps from his sidelines towards China by an even higher number.

The problem is that when examining the finances of the China Super League as that of first division is known, the numbers not Jibing and economic losses are great.

Millionaire owner

Shanghai Shenhua away from teams in the Premier League, where he played Drogba and Anelka played.

In a normal game, the Hongkou Stadium draws less than 10,000 fans although it is suitable the 33,000 operation.

The Club annual income is US$ 3.1 billion, a budget, that for a week you would serve to Chelsea.

And yet the Chinese Club spends five times their income at the level of a single man, Anelka and bet by Drogba.

But the team is, is its owner while not rich.
