Special treatment to national player in their leagues.
Have any of you noticed (and maybe, like me, resented) the special treatment national players get in the big leagues? By that, I mean the english in the premier, spaniards in la liga, Italians in Seria A, etc.
It's an easily recognizable pattern that gets ignored because both the locals fans and Media (That shape the way footballers are seen and actively contribute to this bias) are the only ones that could bring attention to this topic, but are also the culprits of this problem.
Lets see how this distorted vision and correspondent treatment of playes affects football clubs and leagues.
Let's start with Casillas, and how him being dropped caused (or greatly contributed) to the forced departure of Mourinho (a manager to whom everything was tolerated untill that point). When, the at the time, manager of Real Madrid, decided to excersice his right as a manager to pick one goal keeper over the other all the tolerance that the madrid press and fans have offered suddenly dissapeared. He had been defended even for poking the eye of an assistance coach, but doing something as simple and legit as changing one player from another on the starting eleven, put the entire fanbase against him. And that was so despite the new keeper performing better than the one before.
Lets also think about Rooney, and how patient and tolerant has been the manchester united fan base to his, not first, but second attempt to force a transfer, even after previous attempts got him a considerable pay rise, placing him among the highest paid footballers in world. That is despite not showing the quality and consistent performances that those players offer.
There are many other examples I will continue to write once I fince myself in a moment with more time in my hands. Maybe you can contribute more of your own.

what are you on about? so Illaramendi should get destoyed in press for being Injured? what kind of logic is this.Ganso wrote:Illaramendi comes to mind.its a joke how the spanish media is protecting him while he would be getting destroyed if he was a foreigner.i mean, they are blaming his situation on stress.Punto pelota licking his and isco's arse till no end
in before you pull Marca,they are speculating his Thigh Injury is not healing because of mental stress.
Re: Special treatment to national player in their leagues.
Illarramendi's been injured and it's believable that stress is part of the problem.
In terms of Casillas, well the fans weren't happy with Mourinho when he did other things as well.
Being from the same country might partly influence the fans/media's decision, however I wouldn't say fully.

Re: Special treatment to national player in their leagues.
The only reason they are quoting stress is because he came back too quickly because he was eager to impress
but if this logic is true then I wonder why Ramos keeps getting yellow cards that shouldn't be just because his rep or why Pepe has been widely protected by the media despite some of the stuff he has done
I dont think this is true sorry

Pepe started to be protected the day he decided that siding with Casillas was the right move for his future prospects in madrid.halamadrid2 wrote:The only reason they are quoting stress is because he came back too quickly because he was eager to impress

And ramos is player that looses his temper and applies excessive force all too often. His yellow cards are simply a result of that.
Another example of national bias would be Gerrard Diving being ignored while other foreigners were crucified.
