Premier League 20/21 : The Promoted Sides

 


Lets have a look at the three promoted sides for the 2020-21 Premier League Season


LEEDS UNITED



Leeds make a top flight return after 16 long years, a chunk of the major credit which must go to their tactically sound coach, Marcelo Bielsa. What’s surprising, he did this in only second season of his charge after just missing out in the previous season owing to poor performances at the end of the campaign. Not many coaches in the current football fraternity can match his ethics and he stands by what he demands from his players even when it seems will be harmful for the team.  For example, in a match against Aston Villa, after his team scored a goal, their rivals complained that they had a player down and argued the goal shouldn’t have counted but the referee turned a deaf ear to their claims. Biesla however wasn't hesitant and instructed his players to let Villa players score a goal and Villa scored without any second thoughts. He was also accused by the then Derby County manager, Lampard of spying. With Spain international, Rodrigo coming into the fray, it will be fascinating to watch how Leeds will fare in the Premier League with their unconventional mastermind, Bielsa.

 

WEST BROMWICH ALBION



West Brom are back in the Premier League after spending two seasons on the championship. Their star man Matheus Pereira bagged 8 goals and 20 assists. Being named the Bundesliga’s rookie of the year last term with Nuremberg, he has exquisite ball control and is great with assists and never hesitates to have a go at the goal himself. Their skipper, Jake Livermore is yet another player who has been pivotal for their success and his influence on the team is unmatched and leads by example. Not just that, their winger Grady Diangana, Semi Ajayi and Han Robsun Kanu all grabbed headlines throughout the campaign. Backed by Slaven Bilic, who famously led West Ham United to seventh place in 2015-16 season, he surely has an idea or two about the English top flight.

 

FULHAM



Fulham spent heavily when they earned promotion in the Premier League two years back buying the likes of German world cupper Andre Schurrle, Jean Michael Seri to name a few only to go down relegated later in the season. Things didn’t click last time around and Scott Parker, their manager seems confident to turn things around this time. With their star striker, Aleksander Mitrovic in top form all season, they were able to grab goals when needed the most. Their left back Joe Bryan score the all important two goals in extra time in the playoffs which secured their promotion at the cost of Brentford, who have not featured in the top flight since 1947. Well now, it remains to be seen if Fulham can duplicate their success in the Premier League.

VAR: Boon or Bane?

  Ever since its introduction, VAR has sparked controversies all around the globe. While it was believed before its introduction that it would reduce the human errors and provide the referees a second chance to rectify their mistakes, it now has left us pondering whether technology intervention was required in the first place.      The good point is that no foul committed can possibly go unnoticed but the disadvantages are far more with the most disturbing being it stops the flow of the game every now and then and this doesn’t augur well for the beautiful game as the frequent stoppages are disturbing both for the players and the audiences. By this time, we already know there have been a record number of penalties awarded in this season’s Premier League and credit goes to VAR for awarding them without much hesitation. For the first time ever we saw a team score after the final whistle. Yes, you heard that right. Manchester United’ s game against Brighton was completed...

Barcelona V/S Napoli : Preview

With the dishonour of going trophyless for the first time since 2007-08 looming large, winning the UCL after 5 years will easily rub off the pain of not winning the La liga and their below par performances during the later stages of the competition, over the years. Having said that, the task on hand is no piece of cake as they face a stubborn Napoli side, inspired by Gennaro Gattuso who can outrival any side on their day. Their strike force is deadly to say the least. Insigne, Mertens, Lozano, Milik, Callejon, Politano can wreck havoc across defences, more so when Barca has a very poor record defensively of late. Napoli  had the most possession(59%) and the most passes in the Serie A, were the Coppa Italia champions and they were the unbeaten team in their group despite being on the same pool with defending champions, Liverpool.  Players missing out- FC Barcelona Missing out influential midfielder, Sergio Busquets and Arturo Vidal through suspension will be a cause of headach...

EL CLASICO : PREVIEW

As Camp Nou gets ready to host the first Clasico of the season, both clubs in their own rebuilding phase will look to get one over their arch rivals. Both clubs have had rather inconsistent starts to the season, by their lofty standards. With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, this fixture has somewhat lost its glory but the political reasons behind the rivalry will continue to fuel this fixture.  FC Barcelona have come from a nightmare season,not winning any trophy and conceding 8 against Bayern Munich. With renewed hope, under Dutch boss Ronald Koeman, they have started pretty poorly in La Liga, winning two of their four matches. Although it is very early in the season, Barcelona are languishing at tenth in the table. With all the behind the scenes drama, they have coped pretty well. Lionel Messi will be their star man as usual. Coutinho has done well on his return to the club. Griezmann hasn’t yet found his feet in Catalonia. All eyes would be on Gerrard Pique, who got a red ca...
