[DiMarzio] Only Real Madrid and Barcelona can get Haaland. Haaland, like Mbappe, wants to play for Real Madrid. He has asked his agent to try with Real Madrid. Haaland doesn't like the Premier League as much as La Liga. It is not in his dreams

if this quote is true, I'm not surprise in the least bit. Madrid and Barca will always but the main draw for generation player and balloon d'or winner.
I think the PL will suit him better though. more fast pace and games go from one end to the other, like bundesliga, but with better defenders. too many teams sit back in la liga and park the bus against Real and Barca. not sure it suits his game. especially not at Barca.

This happens in the Premier League too.

And the Bundesliga is nothing like the Premier League. It's a youth league with virtually no defending. It doesn't set anybody up to excel in a tougher league as you're seeing with the likes of Havertz and Werner - both abject failures in the Premier League.

true, but PL is still closer to bundasliga's teams playstyle than la liga. just with better players. Diego Simeone is responsible for by every laliga team parking the bus and has kind of ruined spanish football. very so often you see the games open. even when two shyt teams are playing.

As bad as that guy may be I bet he's still 10x a better defender than Alonslow. :mjlol:

He's terrible has no sense of danger and lacks concentration. And tbh Theo Hernandez is just a terrible defender as he is but because his pace gets him out of trouble some Milan fans think he's good. Theo is a walking brain fart. Theo defending consists of looking to fall over at the slightest bit of contact. I said get Theo to sign his contract and then sell him as soon as a good offer comes in. Some Milan got upset at that.

Kyle Walker the master of lacking concentration and relying on his pace too much is Paolo Maldini compared to this new generation of FB defending.

I remember a Chelsea fan saying that Marcos Alonso is the Bruno Fernandes of wingbacks and he might be right. :skip:

Minus winning the big trophies though.

He's not. Let's ignore the fact that Barca and Real were raping pillaging and plundering teams by 5,6,7,8 goals under Pep and Jose. Or Barca use to be 4-0 up in 20 mins. La Liga peak years were from 94/95-06/7. Where the league was fun enjoyable and not only about Real and Barca.

Also there's Rafa who predates Simeone. Like winning the league with a top scorer of 6.

Spanish football the majority of the teams have always parked the bus. Athletic Bilbao have always been this kinda team minus the Bielsa years. 442 has always been a staple of Spanish Football. I need you to name me some of these adventurous Spanish coaches over the years not called Pep or Luis Enquire? The only 2 entertaining teams over the past 5 years or so have been Celta and Betis.
