Bale: The only reason why the MEF failed to expand is that the best players in the world are not playing here

Bell, who once played for the FC in the AFC Los Angeles, was interviewed by the American media "Front Office Sports". Bale affirmed the development momentum of the league, but pointed out that the salary structure is the main obstacle.

Bell said: "The only reason why the MSU has not expanded is that the best players in the world are not playing here. It's a good league, developing, but not the best league."

"I enjoyed my time here. To be honest, it should have come early. But when European teams offer higher salaries, it's your job. You can't just cut your salary just to drive the sports. Although we are passionate, it's not realistic."

Bell believes that relaxing salary restrictions and investing in young players is the key to accelerating the league: "There are top cities, courts and fans here." , but there are still some elements missing. If better and younger players can be introduced earlier, the development speed will surely accelerate. "

Bell also praised the contribution of American capital to European football: "They invest in football not to lose money, but to cultivate the market. It is of great significance for American entrepreneurs to participate in European football, and this sport is reaching a wider audience because of this."

With the approaching World Cup in 2026 and the first Club World Cup to enhance its influence, Bale saw a positive trend: "Football is becoming a mainstream sport in the United States. I have experienced and witnessed this growth personally, and it is happening."
