For Brazilians its like part of the culture, but other than that and players joining 'retirement leagues' (as much for money).
Like Iniesta going to Japan despite being a regular for Barcelona still.
Herrera dropping to the Spanish third tier to rejoin his boyhood club.
Or a striker whose lost a little ability joining a ridiculous non-league side rather than trying to make it at a midtable PL side, so he can bang in 40 goals.
