Cucurelia: Going overseas games is the direction of development, which is not a bad thing for Spanish football

October 8 According to Daily Sports, the decision of Villarreal and Barcelona to play overseas has sparked widespread discussion in Spanish football. Although some coaches and players objected, both Cucurelia and Merino expressed support.

Cucurelia said: "This is the direction of all events, such as the NBA and the NFL. I don't think this is a bad thing for La Liga and Spanish football, as long as everyone can agree." Merino also held a similar view: "This can be a good thing because you can bring the sport to the rest of the world so that those who can't afford the travel can also see our league games."

Last Monday, the UEFA Executive Committee announced that Villarreal would be allowed to play against Barcelona in Miami, USA. Previously, the Spanish Football Association had applied to UEFA, hoping that the game could be held outside Spain.

At the same time, the Italian Football Association also made a similar request, hoping that the AC Milan and Como match could be played in Perth, Australia. It now seems that La Liga is likely to hold an official match in the United States for the first time this season.
