Premier League: The Best League in the World?

The Premier League, this season, has made huge strides towards being the best league in Europe. The main impact has been the signings of the clubs, who have bolstered their squad with top level players. There was a time when the Premier League was known for its physicality. Any player with a bit of technical quality would make it huge.

This change started happening after Liverpool reached the Champions League Final in 2018. In the following seasons, Premier League clubs went on to sign players who lit up other European Leagues such as Joelinton, Haller, Ndombele. Joelinton played well in the Bundesliga, while Haller tore up the Bundesliga and the Europa League with Frankfurt. Ndombele was one of Lyon’s best players. Irrespective of the fact that the three of them haven’t been as good as expected, they were big signings.

This season, Chelsea have bought in Havertz, Werner, Thiago Silva , three players with proven European pedigree. Similarly, Liverpool signed Thiago, one of the best number 6s in the world. The Manchester clubs have dipped into the market and bought in Donny Van De Beek and Ferran Torres, two players with potential and other top clubs fighting for their signature. The signings of Allan and James for Everton also shows how far the Premier League has come in attracting top quality talent.

We have seen players like Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham go abroad for more game time and to develop, something which never used to happen before. The competitiveness of the Premier League doesn’t let coaches experiment with youngsters, which has seen the likes of Foden and Brewster get very less game time. It will take a few years for Premier League clubs to dominate on a European Level, but it is coming.

Manchester United VS Chelsea : Preview

Manchester United welcome Chelsea to the Theatre of Dreams. This fixture brings back memories of Frank Lampard’s first match as Chelsea manager when Ole’s reds smashed the blues 4-0. A lot has happened since for both teams but the circumstances leading up to the game are somewhat similar. Manchester United are inconsistent as they had been. Similarly, Chelsea are a team which is trying to find their feet and sort themselves out. Manchester United, in their midweek Champions League clash against Paris Saint Germain, won via a late Marcus Rashford goal(yes, again!). Manchester United have been wildly inconsistent in the Premier League so far, and have not won two games in a row. They destroyed Newcastle 4-1 at St. James’s Park in their last match but in their previous fixture, Tottenham decimated them 6-1 at home. Their defence, which has been suspect even after expensive reinforcements, somehow conceded only one goal at the hands of Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria, which ...

Mohun Bagan: The Champions of I-League

Mohun Bagan Athletic Club, one of the oldest clubs in Asia in the space of a calendar year, transformed subpar performances and doubt into victory and jubilation. A script, so perfectly written, that they won the I-League title in the last match before the lockdown was imposed. I remember reading a newspaper article just before the first Calcutta Football League derby, about how rivals East Bengal were the much better side and the fact that Mohun Bagan could only pin their hopes on Spaniard Joseba Beitia if they had to get anything out of the game. In front of a full-house at the Salt Lake Stadium, the Mariners turned in a performance which gave confidence to the fans. They drew the match but created chances at will. This performance made the fans believe. The managerial genius, that was Kibu Vicuna worked wonders with players like Joseba Beita, Fran Gonzalez, Fran Morante, Papa Diawara, Komron Tursonov and the Indian players.They created magic on the pitch. They stuck to possessi...

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...
