No disrespect but Brazilians are all about the money, which is understandable yet for romantics a shame, just now there's no Brazilians left that are tryin to be the BDO and stuff, maybe Vini and that's it.
He wasted his playing career chasing money, but he's financially secure so he can live with his choice of throwing his career down the chinese superleague toilet.
The idea of "food on the table" is funny considering he would have still made tens of millions, which if used properly could last your family for generations – they would've had more than enough on the table either way. But he made 150mil compared to about 30mil for his career, that amount of wealth puts you in a different position entirely and you can do incredible things for your family and community. Fair enough.
It's the same reason players moved from european league to saudi league now. Saudi clubs willing to pay 10x their current salary, with no tax! while european countries impose 40% tax after that 1/10th salary. you play 3 years in saudi and you're set for life.
No, he didn't make the wrong decision, he would have the same heart problem anywhere anyways but in China he ensured his retirement with enough money more than Europe.
I was 17 when he made the move. As a young football fan i was disappointed and thought that he chose money over career. 9 years later, after i had a lovely wife and a beautiful daughter, i'll make that move in a heartbeat. Retire my parents and live a peaceful life knowing me and the generations after will never have to struggle with money for the rest of their lives is the ultimate luxury. Such a shame that we never got the see the true prime of Oscar but yeah, nothing to blame the guy.
Why are ppl tslking about choosing safety, as if playing as a starter for Chelsea paid pennies??
This is why Mbappe didnt take the Saudi deal that was like a flipping billion for a year. Cause even a year off can k*ll your momentum and maje you fade away
There is no "right way" to do anything. Literally EVERYTHING humans do and believe is interpretation. Spending that much time judging people on interpretations that don't really affect you is weird.

Made the right decisions
Players these days go to the saudis chasing the same thing as him.
Generational wealth plus Prem winner plus a successful Brazil career. Enough to be happy for life

The best choice of his life

Made the right choice especially after seeing his diagnosis
Prop to him! Glad he made the choice before he had to stop playing. 👏👏. Stability is better
OMG what a sacrifice🤦🏽
It's not like Chelsea wasn't paying him well, he still wouldnt have to worry about money ever again
Do Americans perhaps think he wants winning generational wealth in Europe? This isn't the mba or NFL, football.players earn way more
He chose well he had to retire early but already made 10x money
The only person to score a goal in that 7-1 2014 game. I always wondered what happened to him
Sounds like he got the jab
Bro, I'm begging you and other YouTubers to stop copy pasting AI-scripts. Add some eprsonality i beg you
He was gonna be rich either way
He also downed tools for Chelsea. Six weeks before the world cup faining injury. So he would ready for Brazil. Unforgivable.

He was legitimately one of the highest paid players in the world while in China. He made about 200M euros playing there. It’s insane
Either way you slice it, Oscar won. It was between "winning a lot" and "winning a lot lot more". 😅
People acting like he wouldn't have been payed LITERAL FORTUNES if he stayed in Europe lol.
So he basically would’ve been next aguero yeah he made the right choice
Oscar has a very rare quality; Awareness
he definitely knew he wasn't gonna play for long, great choice in hindsight, baller 👌
Ram Ires made a similar choice.
these footballers are so ridiculous covering their greed with „money for their family“.
He would have had generational wealth also with staying in Europe.
I love this for him. We know how some of these big players life ends. He made the best choice for himself
He deserved to be forgotten
My favorite memory of Oscar – He scored against Germany in the 7-1 WC game.
2 premiere league title and a cup title… Not allot of players even get one… I'd choose the financial stability fir my family over anything else
No he definatly didnt waste anything plus Mrna shot almost killed him ! Lucky to be alive still
Think it's time we leave the man alone
so lame man i’m certain he had more than enough money for generations alreadh

Actually thats called greedy
Chose whatever the fck he felt right.
Take the money. Football careers are short and goofy supporters aren’t going to buy you bread after you retire.
cant tell me he didnt make enough money at Chelsea to take care of his family for generations. probably made 5 million a year. greed.
He made the right choice. Football was not going to mean anything if your family could not be provided for
He chose generational wealth for future generations, he made the smart choice, lots of medals dont put food on the table for his grandkids

He could have had a long career in Europe and would earn a similar amount, he didn't want to work hard, he didn't have the ambition to build a legacy.
He chose to be the provider over a footballer
The 7-1 loss to Germany definitely messed him up forever.

Smart because China ain't paying that kind of money anymore.
Greed over glory
