That's rather a silly statement. The reason people go to play Football in Europe is because of the money. It's not that it makes them better players.

South American football is a differentl style to european football, but easily on the same level, if not better.

By the way, 13 of the 23 man squad for Brazil in this world cup are Brazilian based players.
