'We
won’t stop, we want the top 500 players in the world to play in our
league!', said Spanish La Liga president Javier Tebas. That’s quite a
bold statement. But don’t believe the hype. Spanish La Liga is not the
best league in the world.
With the arrival of Toni Kroos & James Rodriguez to Real Madrid and Luis Suarez to Barcelona, the battle of El Classico just becoming bigger and bigger. But that’s just it. Boring old plain duopoly. Other 17 teams in the league just get inferior with the exception of Atletico Madrid who are likely to give their all to keep hold of the title they won last season. Those 17 teams have already wave their white flag to Barcelona & Real Madrid even before the ball is being kicked. That is why we often get the score of 6-0 and 7-0 from the La Liga.
The best league in the world award should go to the English Premier League (EPL). Where else in the world can you have a 5 or 6 teams capable of challenging for the title? Where else can you have a small team made a comeback of being 0-3 down against one of the 5 or 6 big teams? The EPL is full of surprises and emotions. Even the attractions and the temptations are mouth watering. Where else in the world can you have an upcoming young superstar joining the likes of small teams such as Hull City and Crystal Palace? Players all over the world would be willing to sign for any of the 20 EPL teams, just to feel the pure excitement of football matches that only EPL can offer.
