In today's press conference, Barça coach Luis Enrique joked about the lucrative offer which Arda Turan received to play in the Chinese Super League: "I think it’s fantastic that players can decide to go to China and earn more money. In every profession, including yours – the press, people change jobs and earn more money and nothing is said – in fact, your friends congratulate you. It’s great, but when you are a footballer? You’re a traitor, a money grabber... It’s strange. I think it’s fantastic and I applaud those who do it but it’s odd the way it’s badly seen in football”, the coach said.
