Ironically in the past decade,it has been the English league being schooled by the Spanish,Italians,et al.
I mean that a foreign ideology has invaded the English game. Arsene Wenger started this sharp change decades ago,eventhough Alex Ferguson had already begun it somewhat.

Then we had the Mourinhos,Contes,Peps, Klopps. Today, even a Brighton with it's possesion based game,plays as if,it belongs to the Spanish league. A revolution has taken place in the style of the English game,which has also rubbed off on their national team. One thing they didn't let go of,is their good old physicality.

As for Pep,may we not start here. Forget what he says to the press,he needs the Champions league badly and that is the chief reason City got him.

Nice piece.

Cheers
