"Si la revolución exige violencia, autoridad, disciplina, estoy por la violencia, por la autoridad, por la disciplina. Las acepto, en bloque con todos sus horrores sin reservas cobardes"
-José Carlos Mariátegui, siete ensayos de la realidad peruana.
EPL fans need to understand something called league familiarity.
Aston Villa can draw 4-4 with Man United, Brighton can beat Arsenal or Chelsea, and suddenly people think these teams would dominate La Liga.
Meanwhile, Barcelona can beat that same Aston Villa easily few days ago without breaking a sweat.
Real Betis, Osasuna or Celta Vigo can beat Real Madrid or Barça but they can’t win any of Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal. They won’t even see draw.
The EPL is arguably the best league in the world, considering its money, global appeal and competitive depth. Nobody is disputing that.
But stop confusing domestic competitiveness with superiority over other leagues. Your mid teams will be mid in other leagues considering the factors of those league too.
Just because your smaller teams trouble your big teams doesn’t mean they’d do the same against Europe’s elite.
Football doesn’t work like that. If you still don’t know this, just quit watching football.
@nimishdubey I never had the privilege of watching Malcolm Marshall bowl live, but judging by the YouTube footage I've seen, Mohammed Shami strikes me as the closest modern-day equivalent to him. There's something remarkably similar about their bowling styles. What do you think?
