you're taking it out of context here. like i said Boca (or any good south-american team) is way better than empoli. what i'm saying is that in south-america they play another kind of football than in europe, the kind of football of here many years ago when it was still a technical sport. Football however has changed and became much more physical in europe. So my point is that these technical geniuses of boca would struggle, indeed, in serie a. The other way around ? doesn't matter as we're talking about south-americans coming to europe and not the other way around.
so i would rather get a talented south-american playing for "frigging relegation candidate and bottom feeding Empoli of Serie A" than one of "Boca, one of the biggiest teams in the history of the sport".
