I didn't make those claims so don't use them against my point because it has nothing to do what I said or my opinion on the matter.It's not a silly comparison at all.
Comparing the two most talented and attacking teams in both leagues to prove it's a complete myth.
Your first sentence just further backs up the point, City won ten less games, yet Barcelona only won by 3 or more goals FIVE times more than Man City. Yet we have this joke of a claim Barcelona/Real wouldn't do similar in England or they win easy every week. Winning half of your games by 2 goals or less is not having it easy every single week!
Would get over 90 points in England.
Interesting, thanks. It certainly fits what Zidane has showed so far.This is a piece of an article in El País talking about Zidane influences
"Zidane did not want a degree in Spain . He chose the most complex administrative and enlisted in the DTN . DTN since 1989 represents the most ironclad of conservative orthodoxy. In his book Le Football à la Française , Thibaud Leplat journalist calls it " school of concrete" . Its directors , Gerard Goullier and Aime Jacquet have promoted the block of four defenders and three strong wing midfielders ("volante" in spanish) as the final formula in an industry that does not support artistic license . Conquering the World Cup in 1998 , Zidane 's hand was the apotheosis of the system. As Jacquet said in his book Les Bleus , " today's football does not support jokes ; It is a combat football. This is the mold that is more familiar to Zidane , with nuances learned from ideologues from a similar trend , as Marcello Lippi at Juventus . The Madrid game is ever closer to the ideal of their teachers"
,besides he insisted this summer in the signing of Antonio Pintus, the physical trainer that had in Juve, known for his hardness. For the moment I am very happy with Zidane, he knows to manage the dressing room, is fair with the young players and is realistic(including finally a defensive midfielder) but trying to play passing football.
To sit on the bench and not whine, but your last sentence sounds like he may not manage even that...Barcelona are apparently buying Jasper Cillessen from Ajax. No idea why to be honest. Slightly above average keeper at best. Personality wise he fits right in though. Being a theatric cnut.
He was brilliant throughout all of the season when he was fit. Problem was he had a few long injuriesBale becoming more and more integral at Madrid. If I'm not mistaken he was absolutely on fire at the end of last season and was one of the biggest reasons real were in the race till the end.
Very good keeper, superb with his feetBarcelona are apparently buying Jasper Cillessen from Ajax. No idea why to be honest. Slightly above average keeper at best. Personality wise he fits right in though. Being a theatric cnut.
It makes since in that respect I admit. He's good with his feet, but he's been suspect so far this season.Very good keeper, superb with his feet
It's always a minimum of x amount of times. I remember opposition fans screaming when Owen scored a winner against City I think in deep added time but the ref was still right to give it.What the hell? They scored at 94:13 yet it was only 3 minutes added time? Absolutely shocking that! The SFA are clearly taking bribes from A.Madrid!
Yeah I was taking the piss out of that very situation!It's always a minimum of x amount of times. I remember opposition fans screaming when Owen scored a winner against City I think in deep added time but the ref was still right to give it.
I have no choice but to stand corrected, espacially since how weak La Real were last night (and also lots of cred to Bale's&Asensio's deadliness).Meh. These days it's only hell for Athletic Club and, inexplicably still, a cursed Barça...
Nothing to do with superior technicality IMO. Just better put together teams. It's all cyclical. From 2005 to 2012 there was an English team in the final every single year, except one; and 2 or 3 English teams in the semi final. But no-one was saying it was technically superior in the premier league.
Real and Barca just have an insane pool of talent, and Simeone has done an incredible job. He'll probably end up in England within two years. Sevilla have done well in the Europa League, a trophy English teams have never taken seriously until Klopp made a proper play for it last year (and got to the final).
They have better teams right now. But the whole 'technical' argument is just smoke and mirrors.
It's like you're answering yourself, if you go to mid 00's EPL top sides and compare them to their current rosters we all could die of laughter comparing the technicality and talentI can see that Spanish players are generally better on the ball than English players; but how many English players are in the first XI of any of the top half teams? Not many. And those that are, are generally pretty technically proficient. Look at United's first XI - Zlatan, Mata, Micki, Martial, Pogba, Herrera, Blind etc. Huge technical proficiency. Arsenal - Chocked full of technique, included superstars from La Liga (Sanchez & Ozil). Can't be bothered to go on.
It's the pace of the game, and the physicality permissible in England that diminishes the role of technique. Not the players.
That's great, I'm really pleased for them.Celta 0-1 Leganés. FT
Their first ever game, goal and win in the top flight. Well deserved, too. Congrats!
