Chinese cash 'good news for European soccer'

Umberto Gandini, chief executive officer of Italian Serie A football club A. S. Roma, and Dariusz Mioduski, owner of Polish club Legia Warszawa said on Tuesday at the 11th Dubai International Sports Conference that the rise of Chinese investors in the European football league was a blessing for the most popular sport on the continent.

Speaking at a panel discussion on the future of governance in European football clubs, Mioduski noted that the sport "can't keep the football leagues static".

He added: "Soccer is a dynamic game and we also need dynamism when managing the clubs."
